G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve had a good look at the surf ahead for Tamarin Bay. The coming sixteen days have a real mixed bag on offer, with a couple of clear standouts that any surfer would be frothing over.

The pattern starts slowly, and there’s a bit of a wait. Friday the 3rd of July is flat and not worth paddling out. Saturday the 4th, though, things start to turn. Saturday morning we get a solid 6 ft SSW swell with a period of 14 seconds from a south-southwest direction pointing right into the bay’s favourable swell window. The wind is a light cross-off from the ESE at 6 mph and conditions are clean. The combined swell energy is moderate at 979. That afternoon it goes glassy with a 5 ft swell, offshore 3 mph from the SE – magic stuff. This is a prime window, especially for those who know the reef.

The true standout hits on Sunday the 5th of July. Sunday afternoon sees a pulsating 4 ft SW swell, but the period jumps to 16 seconds – a very long groundswell that will wrap nicely around the reef at Tamarin Bay. The wind turns offshore at 6 mph from the south, and conditions are clean. The combined energy jumps to 1358, solid moderate. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The break is a reef set-up, which loves long-period energy, so expect clean, peeling lines. The crowd factor can be a problem here – it can get busy – so time it right.

Monday the 6th holds a clean 6 ft SW swell in the morning with light offshore wind, but by afternoon the wind freshens to 19 mph from the south, making things more testing. The swell stays around 6 ft. Tuesday the 7th sees the swell at 6 ft but with strong 22 mph offshore winds, so the surface will be clean but it’ll be a battle to get out. That’s expert territory.

Then the surf drops away. From Wednesday the 8th through to Friday the 10th of July, the swell fades to under 2 ft and conditions are poor. There’s a gap here of a few days with nothing worth recommending. Saturday the 11th sees a pulse return – 5 ft SW swell with 16 seconds period again, but the wind is cross-shore in the morning, cleaning up by afternoon.

The next big highlight lands on Sunday the 12th of July. Morning swell of 6 ft from the SW, period 14 seconds, and light cross-off wind. The combined energy is 1533 – strong moderate. The afternoon pushes to 7 ft SSW with a gentle cross-off. Both sessions are rated excellent for experienced surfers. This is probably the best all-round day in the period: solid groundswell, clean, and the water temperature is 78°F – that’s about a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.

Monday the 13th offers 7 ft SSW but the wind picks up to 12 mph from the SE, so it gets tougher. Tuesday the 14th of July throws up a massive 10 ft SSW groundswell from the south-southwest with a whopping 17-second period and combined energy of 5923 – very strong. But it comes with 19 mph cross-off wind. This is huge and dangerous; only for proper experts. The quality is marginal for most.

From Wednesday the 15th onward the swell drops, with a 8 ft SSW on the morning but still strong 19 mph wind. The size stays above 5 ft through to Friday the 17th, but wind remains a factor. The last few days from Saturday the 18th see the swell fade again to under 3 ft, with very long period but little energy.

To wrap it up: the true standouts are Sunday the 5th afternoon and Sunday the 12th. Both offer clean, powerful groundswell with favourable wind. Saturday the 4th afternoon with glassy conditions is also a ripper. Beyond that, it’s a mix of too much wind or drop in size. The reef at Tamarin Bay handles long-period swell beautifully, so don’t miss those windows.

Catch ya 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.
