The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk surf.
The main event this whole stretch is Tamarin Bay (Mauritius). It’s an advanced reef break that doesn’t fire all the time—inconsistent is the word—but when it does, it’s special. The water temp is pretty normal for this time of year, nothing crazy.
We kick off Monday the 14th with a so-so day. Morning has a clean 6ft SSW swell, 14-second period, cross-off winds. The energy is solid (1143). Afternoon drops to 5ft but goes offshore, clean. Not the highlight though.
Tuesday the 15th is a write-off in the morning—strong cross-off winds and a messy 4ft swell (18 seconds). Afternoon sees 5ft but still cross-off.
Wednesday the 16th is a big one. We’re looking at 10ft SSW swell, 16-second period. That’s serious energy (4979 in the morning). Cross-off winds. Over 8ft means experts only. The reef handles long-period swell like this well, so it won’t just close out. This is a major standout for size and power.
Thursday the 17th comes in at 7ft from the S in the morning, cross-off winds. Afternoon gets cross-shore and messy.
The weekend (19th and 20th) drops off fast—small SW swell under 3ft, poor conditions.
Monday the 21st is the real gem. Morning is glassy with a tiny 2ft SSW swell but a massive 19-second period. Very long period groundswell. The afternoon is the best of the whole run: 4ft, 18 seconds, glassy winds. Clean, glassy, and full of energy. This is the session to circle on the calendar.
Tuesday the 22nd fades to cross-shore winds and average conditions.
The following week, Friday the 25th afternoon is another glassy winner—5ft, 16 seconds, clean. Saturday the 26th afternoon also looks good at 4ft, 13 seconds, glassy.
After that, it’s small, choppy, and cross-onshore through the end of the month.
So the standout is Monday 21st afternoon for clean, glassy, long-period groundswell. Wednesday 16th is the biggest but only for experts. And Friday 25th afternoon is another clean option.
Patience pays off here.

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.
