The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be straight with you. Looking at the whole 16-day window for Tamaris, it’s a pretty grim run. There’s really nothing worth paddling out for—no standouts, no real wave energy to get excited about. The first usable bump doesn’t show up until Wednesday, September 9th, and even then it’s tiny.
There’s a gap of about three days at the start with zero surf on offer. Then on Wednesday the 9th, we get a weak pulse from the WSW—swell at just 1ft and a short 5-second period. That’s windswell, not groundswell, and the combined energy is a weak 59. Wind is cross-off from the NNW at 25 mph, so at least it’s clean, but the waves are small and gutless. Not for me.
Thursday the 10th sees a similar story: 2ft from the west, 6-second period, 27 energy. Morning offshore from the NNW at 22 mph keeps it tidy, but again, it’s barely a rideable wave. After that, it fades fast.
The rest of the outlook is a flat spell. We get a few days with zero swell, just small wind ripples or glassy conditions, but no surf to speak of. A 0.7ft bump on Monday the 14th is laughable—period of 3 seconds, energy of 1. Don’t bother.
Later in the second week, there’s a tiny 2ft from SW on the 16th with a 5-second period, and the wind is cross-off from the WNW at 22 mph—clean, but the energy is still only 13. It’s just not enough.
Honestly, for Tamaris, this is a blank run. The water is 77°F, much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only highlight. The reef needs a proper south swell to work, and we’re not getting it. If you’re desperate, maybe the Wednesday the 9th morning offers a clean little wave for a beginner, but I wouldn’t call it surf. The setup here is more interesting for a kite than a paddle at this stage.
Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a long wait.

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.
