The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at a solid run of swell for Tamarin Bay. This reef break is an advanced, inconsistent spot that needs the right direction, and when it lines up, it’s a proper wave. The water temp is sitting at 77°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The real action kicks off Thursday morning, the 27th of August. We’ve got a clean 8ft SSW groundswell with a very long period of 18 seconds and a light offshore breeze. The energy is strong (4525), and it’s going to be clean. That’s a standout session for experienced surfers. Thursday afternoon holds steady with a 10ft SSW swell, 17-second period, and clean offshore winds – more of the same quality.
Friday the 28th is the big one. Early morning sees a 13ft SSW swell, 16-second period, with moderate offshore breeze. The energy is huge (8851). This is expert territory, no question. The afternoon gets even windier with a strong offshore, making it clean but hard to paddle into at that size. Saturday the 29th stays big, with 12-13ft SSW swell, but the wind turns cross-off and strong, making it a battle. The swell stays solid through Sunday, but the wind stays up, dropping the quality.
There’s a long gap of poor conditions from the 31st of August right through to the 5th of September. The swell drops right off, and the wind is all wrong – fresh cross-shore chop. Not worth a paddle.
Then, things pick up again on Sunday the 6th of September. We get a clean 5ft to 6ft SSW swell with a 15-second period and gentle breeze. It’s a return to fun, clean surf for experienced surfers. The real highlight in this second week, though, is Wednesday the 9th of September. A 10ft SSW groundswell, 17-second period, and glassy conditions. Zero wind. The energy is strong (4475). That’s a rare and magical morning for anyone who knows what they’re doing. Thursday the 10th keeps it clean with 7ft swell and offshore winds.
Remember, Tamarin Bay is an inconsistent spot, so when it turns on like this, you don’t want to miss it. The best of the best is the Friday morning the 28th for the sheer power, and that glassy Wednesday the 9th for the perfection.
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.
