The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the Tamarin Bay region over the next couple of weeks.

First off, we gotta be honest – the start of this outlook is a bit of a slow burner. The first week, from the 1st of August right through to the 10th, is pretty much a write-off for a decent paddle. The wind is howling out of the east, mostly a cross or cross-off breeze, and it's just making a mess of things. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3 ft, and the combined energy is weak, sitting in the low hundreds (between 223 and 449). The conditions are either lumpy or just not worth the effort. You'll be spending more time fighting the wind than catching waves. It's a big gap of about ten days with nothing really worth getting excited about for a surfer.

Now, hold on to your board, because things look like they're gonna switch on for the second week. The standout window is shaping up to be Tuesday the 11th of August. This is the one to mark in your calendar. The wind is set to drop right out, with a light ESE breeze going cross-off, which will leave the surface glassy and clean. The swell is coming in from the SSW with a very long period of 19 seconds – that's a proper groundswell with plenty of grunt. The combined energy is a hefty 3264, which is strong energy. The wave height is 7 ft, which is only for experienced surfers. This is a proper reef break, so it'll handle that long-period energy well. Get on it.

After that, Wednesday the 12th still has some juice with light winds and clean conditions, though the swell will be dropping. The 15th of August (Saturday) also shows a pulse of 7 ft swell from the south with a fresh cross-off breeze, but the scores are lower, so it's not as clean as that Tuesday window.

It's a real tale of two weeks. The first week is a total dud, a kite-surfer's paradise maybe, but no good for us. The second week, particularly the 11th, has the potential to be absolutely pumping if the long-range forecast holds up. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so you won't need a thick wetsuit.

Rusty, signing off.

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.
