The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty, and I’m looking at the next couple of weeks for Tamaris.
Right now, things are flat. I mean, really flat. For the first week and a half, from September 14th all the way through to September 26th, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. A few tiny pulses of swell show up but we’re talking 0.3ft to 2ft at best, with weak energy. The wind is light and sometimes glassy, but without any real swell, it’s just a lake out there. A long stretch of nothing.
Then, on the morning of Sunday, September 27th, things finally turn. We get a bump of 5ft SSE swell coming in at 8 seconds, and combined energy jumps to 436 – that’s moderate energy, finally something to work with. The wind is glassy, calm, which is a huge positive. This is the standout moment of the whole 16-day window. The water temp is sitting at 70°F, about average for this time of year.
The swell direction is SSE, and the break at Tamaris prefers swell from the S, so it’s in the ballpark. It’s a reef setup, fairly consistent, and good for beginners. 5ft is right on the edge of being too big for beginners, but with glassy conditions, it’ll be clean and fun. Keep in mind the period is 8 seconds, so it’s a shorter-period wind swell, not the long lines you’d get from a groundswell. That means it might be a bit bumpy and less powerful, but still rideable.
Sunday afternoon the wind swings onshore from the SSW at 6 mph, and the swell drops a touch to 5ft, but the energy drops to 406 and it gets messy. Not the pick.
Monday the 28th morning has a glassy 3ft SSE swell at 7 seconds, with energy down to 100. It’s surfable but very ordinary. After that, the wind gets strong offshore from the NNW on the 29th at 25 mph, which cleans up the surface but makes it a real battle to paddle out. The swell is only 3ft to 3ft, so you’d be fighting the wind more than riding waves.
So, the one true standout is the morning of Sunday, September 27th at Tamaris. That’s your window. After that, it’s slim pickings.
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.
