The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
To be straight with you, the outlook for the next 16 days is a flat spell. There’s nothing rideable in the forecast. From now through to the end of the period, every single reading shows poor surf conditions with zero energy or barely a ripple. The only swell we see is a tiny bump on Sunday the 26th of July, with a 5ft west swell but it’s still marked as poor surf and the combined energy is only 229 – that’s moderate at best, but the quality is just not there. The rest of the time, it’s either flat or ankle-snappers at best.
The first real chance of anything happens on Sunday morning the 26th of July at Tamaris. This is a reef break, beginner-friendly, fairly consistent. The swell comes from the west at 5ft, with a short period of 6 seconds – that’s a weak wind swell, not a groundswell. The combined energy is 229 (moderate), but the wind is a cross-off from the northwest at 16 mph, so it’ll be clean. Still, the file says poor surf conditions, so don’t get your hopes up. The water temperature is 80°F with a massive anomaly of 9°F – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be in a warm bath if you do paddle out.
After that, the rest of the month and into August is a dead zone. By Monday the 27th, the swell drops to 1ft and it’s onshore by the afternoon. Tuesday the 28th is a 0.7ft with glassy conditions in the morning but no energy. Thursday the 30th has a glassy morning with a 1ft – still nothing. The whole second week is a write-off, with strong offshore winds and no swell to speak of.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, Sunday the 26th is your only shot, but I wouldn’t call it a standout. It’s more of a sad paddle. The area is going through a blank run, and it’s pretty normal for this spot to see long gaps like this. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s not looking good.
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.
