The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s chew the fat on what’s coming. I’m not gonna lie to you, the outlook is a bum steer. We’re staring down a long, flat stretch with nothing worth wetting a wetsuit for. The first real hint of a wave doesn’t even poke its head up until the very end of the run, and even then it’s ankle-snappers.
Right now, we’re in a drought. From the 26th of August all the way through the 6th of September, it’s a big fat zero. The surf is poor, the swell is either flat or tiny, and the wind is a liability. We get a little bump on the 27th with a 3ft SSE swell, but the wind is screaming from the SE at 28 mph, turning it into a total chop fest. For a reef break like Tamaris, that onshore wind is a deal-breaker.
We do get a few mornings with glassy or clean conditions, like on the 30th of August with a light offshore wind, but the swell is only 1ft with a weak energy reading of (5). It’s not enough to get your heart racing. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing special.
The real standout? There isn’t one in the first two weeks. You’d be wasting your time. The best we can hope for is a tiny window on the 8th of September. That Tuesday morning shows a 3ft swell from the SW, with a period of 6 seconds, and a combined energy of (46). The wind is light and cross-offshore from the NW, so it’ll be clean. But it’s small, short-period stuff, and it won’t be breaking with any real punch. It’s a go-out-for-the-fresh-air kind of wave, not a screamer.
After that, it fades back to nothing. The 10th of September has a 0.3ft SE swell with a period of 7 seconds, and that’s it. That’s a 16-day window with basically no surf. For a spot like Tamaris, which is a fairly consistent reef, this is a pretty blank run. It’s normal for the area to have these quiet spells, but it doesn’t make it any easier to swallow. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but for now, I’d leave the boards in the car and go do something else.

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.
