The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Tamarin Bay over the next couple of weeks.

We’re starting off slow. Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th look tempting with some clean groundswell, but the wind is a fresh 15 to 19 mph cross or cross-off, making it messy. The water is 77°F, a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.

Things clean up properly on Wednesday the 12th. That morning is the pick for the first week. You’ve got a clean 4ft SW groundswell with a long 14-second period, and the wind is a light 6 mph cross-off. The spot is inconsistent and can be tricky, but with no crowds and clean conditions, that’s your window. Wave energy is moderate (466). Thursday the 13th is similar but smaller – glassy morning with 3ft SW swell and a 3 mph cross-off.

From Friday the 14th through Tuesday the 19th, the swell picks up but the wind turns cross-shore and gets stronger, leaving the waves lumpy. Even though you see bigger swell, it’s not surfable.

The big one, the one to plan for, is Sunday the 23rd. This is a long way out so don’t bank on it yet, but the numbers are huge. A 13ft to 15ft SSW groundswell with a 16 to 17-second period. The energy is massive (9633 in the morning, 10137 in the afternoon). Wind stays as a moderate cross-off, so the surface will be clean. This is pure, serious power – expert-only territory. Over 8ft on a reef is no joke. It breaks inconsistently, so you’ll get time to breathe, but the waves will be deep and fast.

After that, the last few days drop back down to smaller, cleaner conditions, but nothing else lights up like that.

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.
