The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve got a good look at what’s coming for Tamarin Bay over the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a solid run of swell on the way, but it’s not all smooth sailing. The first real action kicks off on Tuesday, September 8th, with a strong 10ft SSW groundswell packing some serious energy (6050). The water’s sitting at 76°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year. The wind is a stiff 25 mph SE cross-off, so it’s going to be a clean, powerful, but challenging day. This is only for advanced surfers – that size and energy is no joke, and the break is inconsistent, so you’ll need to be patient and know what you’re doing.
The standout, without a doubt, is Wednesday, September 9th. The morning session is the pick of the entire forecast. We’re looking at a massive 13ft SSW swell, with a very long period of 18 seconds, and the energy reading is absolutely thumping at 10785. The wind is a 22 mph SE cross-off, keeping things clean. This is big, powerful, raw groundswell at a reef break. It’s an expert-only day, and the consistency will be questionable, but for those who can handle it, this is the one. The afternoon is still huge at 13ft and 17 seconds, but the energy drops a tick to 8498.
Thursday the 10th sees the swell dropping, but it’s still a solid 8ft in the morning. The energy is still moderate (3180), but the wind stays cross-off. By the afternoon, it’s down to 6ft.
From Friday the 11th through the weekend, the swell backs off a lot, but we get some cleaner conditions. Saturday the 12th has 5ft SSW swell with light winds, making for a very clean, user-friendly day. The energy is moderate (1000-1216). Sunday the 13th picks up again to 6ft-7ft with a long 18-second period in the morning, giving excellent surf for experienced surfers.
The following week has a few smaller pulses, but nothing that matches that first big push. There’s another notable event on Wednesday, September 23rd, with a very long period 7ft SSW swell in the morning, building to a powerful 12ft in the afternoon. The energy is strong again (5011 to 7647), but the wind goes cross-shore, creating a cross-chop. That’s a lot of power for a messy surface, so it’s a watch-and-see situation.
This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
