The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’m looking at the same stretch for our area. Honestly, it’s a quiet spell. The next 16 days are mostly flat, with only tiny, weak pulses and hardly anything worth paddling out for. The water temp at Tamaris is 74°, which is about normal for the season, so nothing to write home about.
The first few days, from Thursday 27th August through the end of the first week, are a total wash. Thursday morning has a 4ft SE swell with a short 6-second period and cross-on winds, making it rough and lumpy. The combined wave energy is only 69 (weak). Friday is similar, with a 5ft SSE swell, still short period and cross-on. By the weekend, we get clean skies and some cross-off or glassy winds, but the swell is tiny – 1ft to 2ft, with periods as low as 4 seconds – so it’s flat and gutless.
Then there’s a real gap. From Monday 31st August through Tuesday 8th September, there’s almost nothing. The combined energy is often zero, and the swell height is either missing or under 2ft. There are a few glassy moments, like Monday morning and Tuesday 8th September morning, but with no swell, it’s just a pond. A couple of days, like Wednesday 2nd September, have offshore winds, but again, zero swell. This is a proper blank run for the area.
The only flicker of hope comes late in the second week. On Tuesday 8th September afternoon, we see a 2ft W swell with a 7-second period and combined energy of 24 (still weak), but the wind is cross-off and clean. Then on Wednesday 9th September, a 2ft W swell shows up, but the wind is cross-on and choppy. By Thursday 11th September morning, we get a 2ft W swell with a fresh cross-off breeze, keeping it clean. But the combined energy is only 13 – still weak. For a reef like Tamaris, which is fairly exposed to S swell, the optimum direction is S, but we’re getting tiny W or SW pulses, so it’s not aligning.
There’s no standout spot here. Nothing is even close to 5ft, and the best wind windows come with no swell. If you’re desperate, Tuesday 8th September afternoon or Thursday 11th September morning might offer a few ankle-biters if the wind holds, but don’t hold your breath. This stretch is more for kite gear if any breeze picks up, but for paddle surfing, it’s a long dry spell.
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.
