Table - best surf conditions forecast for Tamaris over the next 16 days.
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s have a good, hard look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a grim picture for the Tamaris (reef). We’re looking at a real flat spell. The water’s sitting at a very unusual 76°, a massive 5° warmer than normal for this time of year, which feels weird for the start of a blank run.
There’s no real surf to speak of for the entire first week. From Sunday the 12th right through to the end of that week, it's just tiny, weak dribble. The combined swell energy barely gets into double digits (9) – that’s basically zero push behind it. Most mornings are clean or glassy, but there’s nothing to ride.
The second week doesn't bring much relief. Monday the 21st sees a tiny bump from the South with a 6-second period, managing a weak energy rating of 19. The waves are a measly 2ft. It’s got onshore wind in the afternoon. Not worth paddling out.
Tuesday the 22nd is more of the same: 2ft South swell, energy of just 22, with a cross-onshore breeze chopping it up. Thursday the 23rd morning turns glassy, but the swell is still only 1ft. By the afternoon, a 3ft West-Southwest swell pops up with a short 4-second period and 34 energy—still weak. By the weekend, the 26th and 27th, we get strong offshore winds on the 26th, but the swell is only 1ft. That’s just a cleanup session, not a proper wave.
There’s nothing here that even qualifies as a standout. Every call in the whole 16-day window is marked as poor surf conditions. If you’re determined to get wet, the cleanest windows are the glassy Tuesday 14th morning and the glassy Sunday 19th morning, but the waves are tiny (1ft to 1ft). Bring a longboard and low expectations. This is a rough stretch.
Stay patient.

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.
