The Lowdown
Well, grab a coffee and pull up a seat, because the next 16 days are a bit of a tough one for us here. We’re looking at Tamaris, a reef setup, and honestly, the swell just isn’t showing up. There’s a long stretch with almost nothing to get excited about, so let’s break it down.
We start off with a real flat spell. From Wednesday the 29th (July) right through to Sunday the 3rd of August, the swell is tiny—barely a ripple, with heights struggling to reach 1 ft. The combined energy is weak, mostly single-digit figures (0–21), and the period is short, around 4–5 seconds. It’s just poor surf conditions all the way. The mornings do offer some glassy or clean moments, but with no swell to speak of, it’s a paddleboard session at best. Water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual.
The next few days, from Monday the 4th to Thursday the 7th of August, see a slight bump, but it’s still a struggle. Swell heights stay under 1 ft, with some periods hitting 6 seconds on the 6th, but the energy is still low (2–39). The wind is mostly offshore or cross-offshore, which is clean, but the waves are just too small. On the 7th, we get a bit of a pulse—3 ft from the west with a 6-second period and energy of 39—but it’s cross-onshore and choppy. Not worth the paddle.
Then we hit a real dead zone. From Friday the 8th (August) through to about Tuesday the 12th, the swell disappears completely. Combined energy is zero, and we’re left with clean winds but flat seas. A few days of cross-offshore winds on the 9th and 10th, but still no waves. The gap of no surf is about 3 days here.
The best chance, if you can call it that, comes on Thursday the 13th of August. We’ve got a tiny 1 ft swell from the southwest with a 4-second period and combined energy of just 3. The wind is offshore from the NNW at 15 km/h, which is clean and glassy. It’s still small, but for a reef break, that offshore wind will make it look pretty. If you’re desperate for a log, this is your window. But honestly, it’s not a standout.
No other spots to consider—this is it. The consistency is fairly consistent for Tamaris, but the swell just isn’t there. Beginners might be okay with the tiny conditions, but experts will be bored. For a reef break, the long periods we’re used to just aren’t happening, so there’s no real shape or power.
I hate to say it, but this stretch is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, especially on the windier days. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a flat run.

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.
