The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this one's a tough pill to swallow for the next couple of weeks. We're looking at a long, quiet stretch ahead, so don't get your hopes up for any heroics.
First up, the water is running at 76°F, which is a whopping 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That's a real freak anomaly, something you don't see often.
The first real glimmer of anything rideable shows up on Thursday the 10th of September. Tamaris, a forgiving little reef, might offer a few tiny, clean ones. The morning sees a light offshore breeze from the NNW at 16 mph, tidying up a small 2ft swell from the west with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is still weak at 29, so it's not going to set the world on fire, but for a beginner, it's a sessionable option. The water is much warmer than normal, so you won't need a thick suit.
The rest of the week is a write-off. We get a few glassy or offshore mornings, but with next to no swell energy, it's just a flat lake. There's a bit of a pulse mid-week, but it's weak and inconsistent.
Looking further out, we see a bit more life on Wednesday the 16th of September. The afternoon at Tamaris shows a 4ft swell from the west, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 77, which is still only moderate, and the wind is a cross-offshore breeze from the WNW at 16 mph. It's not a stand-out, but it's the best we've seen in a while. The waves will be small and a bit weak, but clean enough for a longboard.
Honestly, there's nothing here that screams "go-time." It's a long, flat run. The forecast can change, but right now, it's a case of patience. If you're desperate for a paddle, the 10th and the 16th offer the only real windows, and even then, keep the expectations low.

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.
