The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here with a look at what we've got cookin' out at Tamarin Bay.
The window ahead is a bit of a two-act story. We've got a proper swell train coming through later, but the first few days are a bit of a struggle to find anything workable. There's a gap from Saturday, the 16th, all the way through to the end of the following week where the conditions are just too messy or the swell too weak to get excited about. Keep your eye on the prize, because the final week of August is where the magic is lurking.
### The Setup Now (Week of August 15th)
Tamarin Bay is our only game in town, and it's a tricky one. Saturday morning the 15th is a tease – a solid 5ft SSW groundswell with a very long 21-second period, packing a heap of energy (3844). The water is also a touch warmer than average at 76°. But the wind is a 12 mph cross-offshore, which keeps things clean enough. For the advanced crew, this could be a fun one, but with a period that long, the reef will be doing the work to shape it. It's an inconsistent wave here, so be patient.
After that, it gets a bit stale. The swell holds over the weekend with some 10ft sets on Saturday the 16th, but the wind turns cross-shore and the energy drops. By Sunday and into the week, we're looking at smaller surf with crummy cross-winds. It's not worth paddling out for.
### The Real Window (Week of August 23rd)
Now, this is where it gets interesting. From Monday, the 24th of August, into the following week, Tamarin Bay lights up. We've got a proper pulse of SSW groundswell. Monday the 24th looks prime with 6ft-7ft of clean SSW swell at 16-17 seconds, and light offshores. This is the standout period for the experienced surfer.
The energy jumps significantly (2741), and the conditions are clean. This is the one to pencil in. The wind holds clean for a few days, but the swell keeps building. By Wednesday the 26th of August, we’re looking at a serious 15ft pulse from the SSW. The wave energy is massive (12,040). This is expert-only territory. The wind is a strong 22 mph cross-off, so it will be a battle, but for those with the nerve and the skills, the reef will be going off. It's an inconsistent spot, so the lulls between sets will be long, but the sets will be bombs.
Up to that point, the water temp was a touch warmer than average, a trend that seems to stick. For the best bet, lock in Monday the 24th for the best balance of size, power, and clean conditions. The longer-range stuff looks promising but is less certain. Tamarin is your only option here, so treat it well.
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.
