The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.

We’ve got a classic reef setup here at Tamarin Bay, but it’s picky. It’s an inconsistent spot, only breaks for the advanced crew, and it needs a solid SW swell to wake up. The water is sitting at 77°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might not even need a full suit.

The first real chance to get wet comes Tuesday afternoon, the 25th of August. We’ve got a clean 6ft SSW groundswell rolling in with a nice 13-second period, and the wind is a light cross-off from the SE. The energy is moderate (950), but the conditions are clean. It’s a good start, but the standout of the entire run is Thursday the 27th. Thursday morning, the swell jumps to 8ft from the SSW with a very long period of 18 seconds, pushing strong energy (4525). Thursday afternoon, it gets even better: 10ft, same direction, 17-second period, and the wind swings offshore from the S. That is absolutely pumping, clean, and powerful. That’s the pick of the trip, but be warned – at over 8ft, this is expert-only territory. The long period will make it bend beautifully around the reef, but it’s a big, heavy wave.

Friday the 28th through Sunday the 30th sees a serious pulse of energy, but it’s blown out. Winds are cranking at 22-25 mph from the SSE and ESE. The swell is huge (12ft to 13ft), and the energy readings are massive (over 8000 in some spots), but with that wind, it’s going to be a messy, lumpy beast. Not really a paddle surf session – this setup screams kite surfing.

Then, from Monday the 31st of August right through to Friday the 4th of September, we hit a lull. The swell drops, and the wind stays onshore or cross-shore from the E at 12-19 mph. The conditions are poor, with lumpy chop and no real energy. It’s a dead spell for about five days.

Things start to look alive again on Saturday the 5th of September. The swell picks up to 6ft from the SW, but the wind is cross-onshore. The real magic happens on Saturday afternoon: the wind goes glassy – flat calm – and the swell is a clean 5ft from the SW. That will be a very clean, fun session. Then Sunday the 6th of September morning is another standout: 5ft from the S, 18-second period, with a light cross-off from the SSW pushing strong energy (2069). That’s a clean, powerful groundswell.

Now, looking further out to Tuesday the 8th of September, the models are showing a monster. We’re looking at 18ft from the SSW with a 19-second period and off-the-chart energy (19534). The wind is cross-off, so it’s clean, but the wave is predicted to be too big for this break. This is a long-range call, so less certain, but if it comes in, it’s a once-in-a-season kind of day for experts only. The rest of that week stays big and clean, but the wind keeps blowing, so the window is tight.

The bottom line: The best bets are Thursday the 27th of August for the big, clean, offshore swell, and Saturday the 5th of September afternoon for the glassy, fun-sized waves. The 18ft monster on the 8th of September is one to watch, but don’t book your flights yet.

Rusty.

Information about the Tamarin Bay Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Tamarin Bay provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Tamarin Bay can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Tamarin Bay 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 (Tamarin Bay) 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 Tamarin Bay 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.

Tamarin Bay is 12 km (7 miles) from the city of Vacoas. If you plan a holiday in Mauritius, look for hotels and other accommodation in Vacoas. Vacoas has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
