The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the outlook is a tough one. We're looking at a long stretch of small, mostly onshore, and messy conditions. The first real surfable day doesn't show up until Friday the 28th of August, and even then, it's not a classic. There's a gap of nearly five days right at the start with nothing worth paddling out for.
The best of a quiet bunch looks like Friday the 28th. For the morning session at Tamaris, we've got a light breeze coming from the WNW, which is a cross-offshore wind, keeping the surface clean. The swell is a tiny 3 ft from the SW, with a period of 6 seconds, so it's weak, short-period stuff. The combined energy is very low at 60, so don't expect much push. It's surfable, but it's very ordinary. The afternoon sees the wind pick up, but it stays cross-off and clean, though the swell drops to 2 ft.
The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing wild to report there.
After that, the surf drops right off again. The 29th and 30th have tiny, clean waves, but we're talking ankle-snappers. The 31st of August sees the onshore wind come back in with a bit more size, up to 2 ft, but it's choppy and messy.
The first week of September is a write-off. There's a glassy morning on the 2nd of September with a 0.3 ft dribble, and some clean but flat days with strong cross-offshore winds. The wind on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th of September is blowing a solid 15 to 22 mph, which, while it's offshore, will make for a skate park on the surface. There's simply no energy in the water.
A small spike shows up on the 6th of September with 3 ft from the SSE, but it's a cross-on wind and a short 4-second period, so it'll be lumpy and weak. The 7th is a little cleaner with a 2 ft south swell, but again, it's very small.
Look, if you're desperate for a paddle, Friday the 28th morning is your best shot. Get on it early and keep your expectations low. Otherwise, it's a waiting game. The lack of consistent swell means this kind of blank run is more normal for the area, but forecasts can always change.
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.
Tamaris is 7 km (4 miles) from Lavera. If you plan a holiday in Cote d'Azur, look for hotels and other accommodation in Lavera. Lavera has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
