The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down in feet and miles per hour. Rusty here, giving you the straight talk on Tamaris.
It’s a bleak picture for the next 16 days. The finder is basically showing a flat spell. The first record is for Tuesday the 21st with zero swell, and that’s the story for most of the window. There’s a tiny 1-foot ripple from the west on Thursday the 23rd morning, but with a period of only 4 seconds, it’s just wind chop. The combined energy is a pathetic 2, so you can forget about it.
The water is 81°, which is way warmer than normal for this time of year, so the swimming is good, but the surfing is not.
The only real pulse comes on Sunday the 26th. The morning shows a 8-foot swell from the west with a 7-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 512. That’s a decent amount of energy, but it’s tagged as poor surf conditions. The wind is cross-off from the NW at 25 mph, which is strong. The surface will be clean, but that short-period west swell is going to be a bumpy, closed-out mess. At 8 feet, this is strictly for experts. The afternoon drops to 6 feet, still big, but same story.
After that, it’s back to nothing. The rest of the two weeks is filled with 0.3-foot to 2-foot slop from the south and southeast, blown out by onshore or cross-onshore winds. The best you might see is a 3-foot wave on Tuesday the 4th of August morning with a light offshore from the NNW, but the period is only 4 seconds and the energy is just 44. It’s not going to be any good.
So, the only day that even gets a mention is the 26th, but it’s a big, windy, ugly west swell for experts only. For the rest of us, it’s a total flat spell. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a long dry run.
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.
