Alright, let me be honest with you. This is a tough stretch for surf. Tamaris is the only spot on the radar, and for the next couple of weeks, it’s mostly flat or ankle-high dribble. That said, we’ve got a couple of windows where it might just become worth a paddle.
We kick off on Sunday, July 5th. The morning is flat, but by the afternoon the wind goes glassy. There’s a tiny 1 ft swell from the WSW with a 4-second period. The combined energy is a measly 5... it’s weak. That glassy wind is a big positive, but you’ll be on a foam board to get any glide.
Monday the 6th is even smaller, and Tuesday the 7th morning brings a 1 ft SW swell with a short 4-second period and light offshore wind from the NNE. It’s clean, but the energy is only 7. It’s not surf, it’s a pond with a ripple.
The week drags on with tiny windswells and bumpy afternoons. Wednesday the 8th, Thursday the 9th, Friday the 10th – all under 2 ft, all short period. The water temperature is about average for this time of year.
We hit a real low from Saturday the 11th through until the morning of Wednesday the 15th. Days with no swell at all. Just flat, glassy mornings and choppy afternoons. Total gap of no real surf for about four days.
Then, finally, on the morning of Friday, July 17th, things perk up a little. A 1 ft SW swell with a 5-second period, light offshore wind from the NNW, and combined energy of 8. It’s clean. Then Saturday the 18th morning is the one to circle. You’ve got a 2 ft SSW swell, period of 5 seconds, cross-offshore wind from the NW, and the combined energy hits 25 (moderate energy). The waves will have a little more push, and the wind keeps it clean. It’s the best on offer for the whole 16 days. That swell direction from the SSW lines up with what Tamaris likes. It’s still small, but it’s surfable and clean. Crowds are possible – it’s a fairly consistent reef spot so if there’s any wave, expect some company.
After that, Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th fade back to tiny, clean but tiny.
Bottom line: Saturday morning July 18th is your one standout. It’s not a world-class day, but it’s the best in a long, flat run. Everything else is a washout or a flat spell.

Information about the Tamaris Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Tamaris provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Tamaris can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Tamaris surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Tamaris) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Tamaris may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
