The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what’s on the cards for Tamarin Bay over the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag coming our way, but there are definitely some sessions worth circling on the calendar.
The pattern starts with a bit of a lull, but things fire up nicely from Sunday the 26th. The early action on Saturday the 25th is a write-off – onshore wind and poor conditions, so don’t bother paddling out. Best to wait for the good stuff.
Sunday the 26th is where it gets interesting. The morning is looking magic for a cheeky session. It’s small, waist-high at 3 ft, but that glassy wind from the west-northwest with the SSW groundswell running 13 seconds will have it super clean. The wave energy is moderate (523), perfect for a longboard or a funboard. By the afternoon, the swell holds but the period jumps to a very long 20 seconds, and the energy picks up to 897. That long-period groundswell can make the reef work beautifully, and with that clean cross-off breeze, it’ll be a rippable afternoon.
Monday the 27th is the standout of the whole forecast. This is the one you clear your schedule for. Morning sees a solid 8 ft SW swell with a 16-second period, and it’s absolutely glassy with zero wind. The combined energy is a thumping 2866, strong stuff. This is proper groundswell, and for an advanced spot like Tamarin Bay, it’s going to be pumping. The afternoon is even bigger, pushing 8 ft with the same long period and still glassy – a staggering 3098 in energy. This is expert territory; it’ll be big, powerful, and incredibly clean. If you’ve got the skills, this is the moment. Water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 77°, which is a nice bonus.
From Tuesday the 28th onwards, the quality drops a touch as the winds become more cross-shore. Tuesday afternoon still has potential with a very long 18-second period and clean conditions, but the morning is a bit messy. The swell sticks around 6 ft to 5 ft. Wednesday through Friday morning has fun-sized swell, but the wind is moderate and cross-shore, creating some chop. It’s not the classic Tamarin Bay perfection, but there’s still some juice if you’re keen for a paddle.
There’s a gap of a few days of fairly average, marginal conditions before Sunday the 2nd of August brings a return of that quality. Sunday morning is glassy again with a 4 ft SSW swell at a very long 17 seconds – clean and workable. The afternoon holds up too with 5 ft and the same glassy conditions.
The last glassy highlight comes on Monday the 3rd of August, with a clean 5 ft swell and a nice cross-off breeze. After that, the wind picks up and things get choppier, with the swell fading through the second week. The last few days of the forecast, around the 8th and 9th of August, drop to tiny, weak swell with poor conditions. Not worth the effort.
So, in short: Monday the 27th of July is the absolute pick of the bunch – big, glassy, powerful groundswell for experienced surfers only. Sunday the 26th and Sunday the 2nd of August are the next best bets for cleaner, smaller waves. Stay patient, pick your windows, and you’ll score.
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.
