The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this forecast for Tamaris is a tough one. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window, but there’s nothing on the table that’s going to get you out of bed before dawn. Honestly, the entire run is a write-off for surf. The swell just never shows up, and we’ve got a long gap of nothing.
We kick things off on Saturday, September 12th. There’s zero surf, and the water is sitting at 74°, which is a solid 5° warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s notable—the ocean’s running unusually warm.
The whole first week, into the middle of September, is flat. We see a few tiny pulses—maybe 0.7ft on Monday the 14th, and 1ft on Wednesday the 16th—but with periods only around 4-5 seconds, it’s just wind chop. The wave comment flags it all as “poor surf conditions.” We do get some clean, offshore mornings in there (Sunday the 13th has a light offshore breeze), but it’s all for nothing with no swell.
By Thursday the 17th, the wind picks up from the NW at 22 mph, and we get a slightly bigger bump to 3ft, but it's still a short-period, weak energy system. The combined energy reading is only 43, which is weak. This is a beach and reef setup, and with that wind, it’s looking more like a kiteboarding day than a surfing day.
There’s a big gap of nothing after that, with the 18th through the 20th offering no real waves. Then on Monday the 21st, the wind goes nuts—a gale force NNW at 40 mph—but the swell is a pathetic 0.7ft. That's not surf; that’s just a messy, blown-out ocean. The energy is barely a blip at 1.
The second week is more of the same. From the 22nd to the 27th, there are just tiny dribbles of swell, maxing out at 0.7ft, with periods under 6 seconds. The combined energy values stay in single digits—weak, weak, weak. We do get some glassy conditions on the afternoon of the 23rd, but again, no swell to speak of.
To be honest, the spot is fairly consistent in the sense that it shows up, but the surf is just not breaking. This kind of blank run isn't unusual for the area. There’s simply no good surf option in this entire 16-day window. Sometimes it just stays flat, and this looks like one of those times. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, you’re better off doing something else.
Keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath.
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.
