Alright, Rusty here again, switching to feet and Fahrenheit for you.
Water temp is about 77°F, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – nice.
First few days are a bust. Thursday through to Saturday morning July 11th, we’ve got tiny, weak swells and the wind is just cross-shore, messing up what little there is.
The first real window to look at is Sunday morning July 13th through Monday afternoon July 14th. On Sunday the 13th, we’ve got a 7ft SSW groundswell, 14-second period, and the wind turns cross-offshore from the SE. That’s clean, lined-up surf at Tamarin Bay. The energy is strong. Monday the 13th holds similar with a 6ft SSW swell and clean conditions in the morning. It’s a reef break that’s advanced and inconsistent, so the waves will be spaced out, but when they come, they’ll be quality. Crowds are possible here often.
The real standout is Sunday July 19th. The swell hits 5ft in the morning, building to 6ft by the afternoon, with a very long 20-second period from the SSW. The energy is massive (1919 to 2439). Wind is clean cross-off from the ESE. That’s a proper groundswell, long period, perfect for a reef like Tamarin. This is the best day of the whole outlook. The 20th is also solid with 7ft SSW, 15 seconds, and clean wind.
The 21st stays big but gets a bit bumpy, then the 22nd drops off. The 23rd and 24th have another pulse of long-period SSW swell (20-22 seconds), a bit smaller but still clean.
Your best bets: Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th, and the absolute standout is Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th. Don’t miss that Sunday.
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.
