The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a good look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.

The pattern starts off with some fun, clean surf and then builds into a proper strong swell window for the experienced crew. There’s a bit of a lull in the middle of the second week before it kicks off again. The standout session is the spell around Monday 20th and Tuesday 21st of July, with another big one for experts lining up around Monday 27th July.

We’ll kick things off at Tamarin Bay (Mauritius). This is a reef break that’s pretty exposed to the SW, which is exactly what the guidance wants. It’s only for advanced surfers though, and it’s inconsistent which means you’ve gotta be patient. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing crazy there.

Saturday morning 18 July sees a clean 4 ft SSW swell with a 14-second period and light offshore winds out of the south. The combined energy is moderate at 585. It’s clean, it’s got push, but it’s only the start. Saturday afternoon stays clean with a 4 ft swell from the S at 13 seconds.

Sunday 19 July drops right off. The morning is a tiny 2 ft with a very long 16-second period, but it’s clean. The afternoon is better with a 2 ft SW swell and glassy offshore wind. Not a lot of power, but it’s pretty.

Now, Monday 20 July is where it gets interesting. The morning jumps to a 6 ft SSW swell with a 15-second period, but the wind is cross-shore and the energy is strong at 1431. It’s a bit messy. But the afternoon is the real gem. The swell hits 7 ft from the SSW at 14 seconds, the wind goes glassy, and the energy is a solid 1852. That’s excellent surf for experienced surfers. The reef will handle that long period groundswell well, but it’s getting big for beginners.

Tuesday 21 July keeps the goods coming. The morning is a clean 6 ft SSW swell with glassy conditions and 12-second period. The afternoon is a 6 ft SSW swell with offshore winds. Both have strong energy around 970-1062. This is a great run.

Wednesday 22 July brings a bit of a wind spike. The morning has 6 ft SSW swell but a stiff 12 mph cross-offshore wind from the SSE. It’s still clean but the wind is up. The afternoon gets worse with 16 mph winds and a drop in swell size. The energy is still high (1207) but the quality is down.

Thursday 23 and Friday 24 July are a bit of a write-off for clean conditions. The swell is 5-6 ft from the S with moderate cross-offshore winds. The energy is strong (992-1076) but the wind keeps it from being perfect. Friday afternoon does improve with a 4 ft SSW swell, 15-second period, and lighter winds, but it’s not the highlight.

Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 July are a gap period. The swell is small (3-4 ft) and the wind is moderate to fresh from the ESE. The energy is moderate (582-718). Not a great window. Sunday afternoon has a 4 ft SW swell with a very long 20-second period, but the wind is cross-offshore and the energy is high (1250), but the conditions are only marginal.

Now, Monday 27 July is a big one for the big dogs. The morning sees a 10 ft SSW swell with an 18-second period – that’s a very long period groundswell. The energy is extreme at 5417. The wind is a moderate cross-offshore. This is big, powerful, and dangerous. The afternoon is the same story: 10 ft, 17-second period, energy at 6442. Only for experts.

Tuesday 28 July morning is the standout for the second week. The swell is 10 ft SSW with a 16-second period, the wind is a gentle cross-offshore, and the energy is 4700. The guidance says this is excellent for experienced surfers. The afternoon gets a bit of cross-shore wind and the energy drops to 3649, but it’s still big.

Wednesday 29 and Thursday 30 July are all big, powerful swells in the 8 ft to 13 ft range, with periods of 15-16 seconds. The energy is massive (4134-7036). The wind is cross-shore or cross-offshore, so it’s not glassy, but the power is there for anyone who can handle it. Friday 31 July afternoon has a glassy 8 ft SSW swell with 14-second period – that’s the best of the late week.

The first couple of days of August taper off into smaller, cleaner 5-6 ft SSW swells with light winds and moderate energy. A nice way to finish the outlook.

The Pick: For the best all-round session, get out Monday 20 July afternoon. For the heavy, expert-level stuff, the morning of Tuesday 28 July is the one to circle.

Stay safe out there.

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.
