The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, talkin’ about Tamarin Bay.
It’s a reef break that only lights up now and then, and when it does, you better know what you’re doin’. Water temp’s sittin’ about 2° warmer than normal for this time of year, which is nice – around 76°.
We get goin’ Saturday morning, September 5th. Swell’s 6ft from the SSW, 14-second period, and the energy’s pumpin’ hard (1142). Light cross-off breeze keeps it clean. Saturday afternoon eases slightly to 5ft but stays smooth with that long-period groundswell.
Sunday the 6th, morning’s 4ft and clean, but the afternoon is the real treat – glassy smooth, 4ft of SW groundswell, and energy climbin’ to 721. That’s as good as it gets for a sessions.
Monday the 7th is the one. Morning has 7ft of SSW groundswell at 15 seconds, offshore wind, and energy at 1712. By the afternoon it’s 8ft, same long-period direction, offshore wind holdin’, and energy blastin’ to 2547. That’s powerful, clean, and strictly for the experienced.
Tuesday the 8th stays big – 8ft to 8ft – but the wind cranks to 25 mph cross-off, keepin’ it clean but very raw. Energy readings are 3330 and then 5305. Full-on ocean.
Wednesday the 9th is the biggest: 13ft of SSW swell, 18-second period in the morning, and energy readings of 10022 and 8498. That’s extreme. Cross-off wind at 22 mph keeps it clean, but it’s a beast. Only the hardcore.
From Thursday the 10th through the 12th, size drops and the wind stays strong – clean but the quality fades. By Friday the 11th, it’s down to 3ft and poor.
There’s a quiet stretch until Sunday the 13th, when another pulse hits: 5ft to 5ft of SSW groundswell, very long 18-second period, light offshore wind, and energy at 1971. Quality clean swell for the experienced.
After that, it’s a slow decline. Monday the 14th onward, the wind builds, the energy drops, and by Friday the 18th we’re talkin’ 2ft and weak energy (95) – not worth wetting a suit. The last little bump on Sunday the 20th has 7ft to 7ft but with onshore wind, messy.
Make your move this weekend and Monday. Monday the 7th is the clear winner – biggest, cleanest, most powerful. After that, the window closes fast.
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.
