The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s in the water for our little slice of paradise.
It’s looking like a bit of a waiting game. The start of the period is flat-out dead. We’re looking at tiny, messy junk through Thursday the 4th. You’d get more fun out of cleaning your board.
The first sign of life shows up on Saturday the 5th. Tamarin Bay will start pumping a little. Expect a clean 5ft SSW swell with a light breeze. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 76°, and the wave energy is moderate (1031). It won’t be huge, but the conditions will be clean. Remember, this is an advanced-only reef break that’s inconsistent, so you’ll be waiting for sets. And watch out for the crowds—they can stack up.
Now, Monday the 7th is your true standout. We’ve got a solid 7ft to 7ft SSW groundswell with a long 15-second period. The wind turns pure offshore and light. The energy is strong (1809-2985). For experienced surfers, this is going to be prime, memorable. The water is just over a degree warmer than normal for the time of year, so it’s a bit more comfortable.
Things get big and bumpy after that. Wednesday the 9th sees a huge 13ft SSW swell, but with a fresh cross-offshore breeze, it’ll be a messy, bumpy beast. The energy is very strong (8729). That’s strictly for the big-wave specialists only.
Looking way ahead to the second week, Wednesday the 16th shows a massive 16ft SSW pulse with a 19-second period. The energy reading is massive (17251). It’s a long way out, so call it a promising but less certain call. The wind is cross-offshore, so it could be an epic big-wave day for experts only.
Most days the wind will be blowing over 15 mph from the east, which puts a cross-off chop on the face. It keeps the wave clean but not glassy.
Keep your eyes on Saturday the 5th and Monday the 7th. Those are your best bets. The rest is a waiting game for that big mid-month monster.
Stay stoked.

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.
