The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. Rusty here, looking over the next stretch for Tamaris.
Right now, and for the next week and a half, it’s pretty flat. The swell window is just about empty. There’s a long gap from the start all the way through to the morning of September 25th where there’s nothing worth paddling out for. Some tiny bumps show up here and there but we're talking ankle-snappers at best, with zero energy (combined swell energy of just 1). Winds are clean for parts of it, but without any swell it doesn’t matter. The water is sitting at about 73°F right now, about 3°F warmer than average for this time of year, so it’s a touch warmer than normal.
Now, pay attention around Friday afternoon on September 25th. That’s our standout. We get a big jump in size, 12ft of swell coming from the ESE with a solid 10-second period, pushing combined energy up to 2936 — that is strong. But here’s the catch: this is a reef setup, and 12ft is big. The forecast even flags it as too big for this break, so this is strictly for experts, and only if you know the lineup well. Winds are cross-off from the NNW, moderate breeze, so it’ll be clean but pushing hard.
The morning of Saturday September 26th follows up nicely — 7ft ESE swell, 8-second period, combined energy at 783, and offshore breezes from the NNE. That’s still big, right on the edge for a reef, but cleaner and more manageable than the afternoon before. After that, it drops off fast.
For the average surfer, the best window opens Saturday September 26th morning — that’s your pick. Swell is big but not out of control, and you’ve got gentle offshore wind and clean conditions. If you’re not experienced, stay out of the water on that Friday afternoon — it’s going to be pumping way too hard for a beginner at Tamaris.
That’s the whole story. A long flat spell, then one heavy weekend punch, then back to nothing.
Rusty.

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.
