The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's get into it. The forecast for Tamaris is a tough one to read. We're looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak swells and mostly average to poor conditions. The water is sitting at a very warm 78°, which is a solid 5° warmer than normal for this time of year – that's a real standout.
The first recommendation doesn't kick in until Tuesday morning, August 4th, and honestly, it's a bit of a non-starter. We're looking at a tiny 1ft swell from the SE with a short, weak period of 4 seconds. The combined energy is a very low 8, and it's blown out by a cross-on wind. It's not worth paddling out for.
The next few days are a write-off. Wednesday the 5th sees even smaller surf, and while Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th have clean, cross-off winds, there's almost no swell at all. The combined energy drops to zero. You're better off saving the petrol.
Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th offer a sliver of hope. Sunday morning at Tamaris we get a rare moment of glassy conditions with a 1ft swell, but the energy is still weak (6) and the quality is poor. It's a day for a longboard float, not a proper surf.
We then go through another stretch of poor surf from Monday the 10th right through to Tuesday the 18th of August. The wind is often clean, but the swell is consistently tiny, with heights barely scraping 2ft and periods staying short. The combined energy stays well below 100, indicating very weak wave power.
The real standout, if you can call it that, shows up on Wednesday the 19th of August. It's still a long way out, but we see a bump in the swell. The morning brings a 3ft swell from the SSE with a 7-second period. The combined energy finally climbs to 86. The wind is a strong cross-off from the NNW, which will keep the surface clean. It's still small, but it's the best we're going to see in this 16-day window. For a beginner, this 3ft is manageable, but it's not the fun, clean surf you'd want. This is a last-resort, small-wave session for the desperate.
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.
