The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here.
We’ve got some waves coming at Tamarin Bay. This is a reef break that works best on a south-west swell, and it’s the only spot in the forecast for the next couple of weeks. Water temp is about 77°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
First real surf shows up on Tuesday, July 21st. Tamarin Bay is seeing a 7ft SSW swell with a 12-second period, and the wind is glassy out of the south. The water is like a mirror. The combined energy is strong at 1114. This is an advanced reef, and it’s inconsistent, so you’ll be waiting for sets, but the payoff is good. Expect crowds often here.
Wednesday the 22nd keeps it going. Morning has 6ft SSW swell, clean with a light offshore. By the afternoon, the wind is a moderate offshore from the south at 12 mph, keeping the waves tidy. Swell holds around 6ft, 13-second period, energy at 1193.
Thursday the 23rd is more of the same—offshore winds at 16 mph, waves around 5ft to 6ft, steady 12-second period, clean.
Friday the 24th, the swell backs off a bit to 5ft in the morning, then 4ft in the afternoon. That afternoon has a 15-second period—real groundswell—and a cross-off breeze, so it’s clean but lower energy at 796.
Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th are small. Swell around 3ft to 5ft, winds onshore or cross-shore, not the best.
Now, the big one. Monday the 27th of July. Morning brings a 10ft SW swell with a 16-second period—that’s serious groundswell. The wind is glassy, and the combined energy is enormous at 4523. This is for experts only. Anything over 8ft on a reef like this is no joke. The afternoon drops to 6ft, still glassy, still a 16-second period. This is the best of the run.
Tuesday the 28th stays solid. Morning has 6ft SW swell, 12-second period, clean cross-off wind. Energy at 1620.
From Wednesday the 29th through Thursday the 30th, the wind picks up to 19 mph, the swell drops, and the energy fades. Friday the 31st sees a bump back to 7ft with a 16-second period, but the wind is cross-shore and choppy.
The first week of August looks good. The 1st and 2nd have solid SSW swell in the 5ft to 7ft range, long periods, clean conditions. Monday the 3rd of August and Tuesday the 4th of August are the real highlights of the second week. On the 3rd, we’ve got 7ft to 8ft SSW swell, 17-18 second period, clean cross-off wind, energy over 3000. On the 4th, it’s a clean 10ft SSW swell in the morning, 15-second period, energy at 3880—again, expert-only. The afternoon drops to 8ft, still clean.
By Wednesday the 5th, it’s mostly gone. Small swell, messy wind.
So, the best bets are Monday the 27th of July for the big glassy 10ft, and then Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th of August for the next punch of solid, clean groundswell. Just remember, Tamarin Bay is an advanced, inconsistent reef and it’s often crowded. You’ll have to work for the good ones.
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.
