Alright, grab your board, let’s talk Tamarin Bay in feet and miles per hour.
The first week is a total bust, I gotta tell ya. Starting Wednesday the 8th of July, there’s hardly any swell – maybe 2 to 2 feet, with a long period of 15 to 17 seconds, but the wind is howling at around 18 mph from the east-southeast, all cross-off, ruining any chance of a clean wave. The combined energy is weak, around 120 – you’d be wasting your time. The water’s a bit warmer than usual at 77°F, but that’s about the only good news. This kind of junk surf drags on for days, with Wednesday through Saturday (the 11th) all showing cross-shore winds and lumpy, weak conditions.
The surf starts to lift a little by Saturday morning the 11th, with the swell hitting nearly 5 feet, but still wrecked by cross-winds. The energy jumps to 1031, but it’s still messy. Through the 12th it gets bigger – 8 feet – but with that same cross-wind, it’s just a washing machine. Not the good kind.
The big standout is Monday morning the 22nd of July. That’s the one. The swell will be pushing 7 feet from the south, solid groundswell with a 12-second period. The wind swings offshore, a gentle 9 mph from the south, and the energy is roaring at 2065. For an advanced reef break like Tamarin Bay, that is proper. Those waves are going to jack up, hollow, and clean – but it’s for experts only, no doubt. Over 8 feet, it’s too much for the average surfer.
Tuesday the 21st has a smaller preview with a 4-foot SSW swell and fresh offshore wind, but the energy is still moderate. The 22nd is where the magic is. After that, the 23rd still has clean, offshore conditions but the swell drops to 3 feet, so the size is gone.
Honestly, from the 8th all the way through the 18th, it’s mostly cross-shore winds and weak to moderate swell. The best window is that Monday the 22nd – mark it, be there, and hope the long-range forecast holds. Otherwise, it’s a long wait.

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.
