Tamarack

Wave Height

2–3 ft

Conditions Summary

Tamarack is experiencing an unusual **out-of-season, more southerly swell** (202° SSW) today, which might interact with the reef differently than typical W/NW swells, potentially leading to less organized peaks. This 2.4ft swell, with a **fair 8-second period**, is unfortunately being severely degraded by a **strong 19 mph onshore wind** from the west, creating very choppy, mushy, and disorganized wave faces. While the current mid-to-high tide typically works well here, it won't be enough to counteract the significant wind chop. Given the combination of an atypical swell and relentless onshore conditions, this is a day for **most surfers to skip**, particularly beginners seeking clean, rideable waves. Intermediate surfers will find frustratingly weak and messy bumps, and there isn't a clear window today where conditions are expected to improve due to the persistent strong onshore flow.
