The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you on this one. The outlook for the next couple of weeks is a real mixed bag, and honestly, it's mostly a waiting game. We've got a long, flat spell ahead before anything even gets close to rideable. There's a tiny window of something in the second week, but we'll get to that.
So, starting now, the water is sitting at 77°, which is *much warmer* than we'd expect for this time of year. That's a real bonus if you're just getting in for a swim, but for surfing? Not much to report.
The next few days are pretty much a dead loss. We've got tiny, weak swells with periods around 4 to 5 seconds, barely registering any energy. The best we see is a 1 ft WSW swell on Friday morning, but with a fresh 22 mph cross-offshore wind, it's just messy and blown out. Saturday and Sunday look glassy and calm, which is beautiful for a paddle, but there's zero swell to work with. We're looking at a gap of about a week before anything changes.
Things get a little more interesting come Wednesday, September 16th. We finally see some waist-high swell pushing in, around 3 ft to 4 ft from the west. The period is still short, around 5-6 seconds, so it won't have much punch, and the energy is still low. Winds are cross-offshore from the northwest, keeping the surface clean enough. It's not going to be pumping, but it's something to get wet on after the dry spell.
Looking way out to Saturday, September 26th, there's a bit more size on the cards, but it's not for everyone. The swell builds, with the morning seeing 6 ft from the SSE at a short 5-second period and moderate energy. That kind of height is getting too big for beginners, and with a cross-onshore wind, the conditions will be lumpy. This is really more of a kite-surfing setup than a good paddle-surf session, as the short period and onshore wind will make for choppy, closed-out waves. The afternoon settles to 4 ft from the SE, but still with the same cross-onshore breeze.
So, there's no standout day in this forecast. The best bet, if you're desperate, is Wednesday, September 16th, at Tamaris for a few small, clean waves. But honestly? This is a huge stretch of nothing. It's a rare blank run for this area, and while forecasts can shift, at the moment there's not much to get excited about.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
