The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's chew the fat on what's on offer in the water.
We've got a slow start, no two ways about it. The next few days look pretty grim for a wave, so don't rush to wax up. The first real standout isn't until Saturday, 15th of August at Tamarin Bay (Mauritius) . This is a tricky, inconsistent reef break for advanced crew only, so when it turns on, it's a proper event.
And it turns on. We're talkin' a 5 ft swell out of the S with a super long period of 16 seconds. That's heavy groundswell, and the combined energy is pumping, clocking in at 2166 (strong to very strong). The wind is light out of the E at 6 mph, giving us a clean cross-off breeze, so the surface will be glassy. The water temp is about 77°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. This is strictly for the experienced crew. That long period will push hard, and it's best on this reef, though it might straighten out a bit on the sandbanks. The paddle out will be easier between sets, but the power is seriously high.
If you miss that, the Sunday, 16th of August morning is still a banger, with 6 ft from the SSW at 16 seconds and light winds again. It’s just a bit less energy than Saturday, coming in at 1531, but still a top-tier session.
Everything else in this 16-day window is a dud. It’s a classic case of waiting for that one window. If you're after a big, clean, powerful reef wave, the 15th and 16th are your only real play.
That’s it from the beach.

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.
