The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, checkin' in with the outlook for Tamarin Bay.

We've got a solid run of surf lined up, but it's not for everyone. This is a reef break that needs the right tide and a bit of know-how, so it's really for the experienced crew. The water is sitting at 24.8°, which is a touch warmer than what you'd usually expect for this time of year – that's a nice bonus.

The real standout kicks off tomorrow afternoon, Tuesday the 28th of July. We're looking at a solid 5.2ft SSW groundswell with a super long 18-second period. That's proper groundswell, packing a heap of energy (2515) and it's pushing in clean from the south-east with a light cross-offshore breeze. It doesn't get much better than glassy conditions for this kind of wave. This is the session to point the car at.

Wednesday the 29th holds in nicely. The morning's a bit mixed with easterly crosswind showing 7.2ft SSW swell (14 seconds, 2061 energy), but the real gem is Wednesday afternoon. It goes glassy, with a clean 6.6ft SSW swell (14 seconds, 1619 energy). That's a lot of power, so this is still for the advanced crew only.

Thursday the 30th stays clean and fun. Morning has 4.9ft SSW (13 seconds, 1189 energy) with a cross-off breeze, and the afternoon goes glassy again with 4.3ft SSW (13 seconds, 1091 energy). Perfect conditions for a more relaxed session on a bigger board.

We do see a bit of a stumble into Friday the 31st and Saturday the 1st of August. The swell picks back up to around 5.6ft to 6.2ft, but the wind swings around, bringing in cross and cross-on conditions with some rain showers. It'll be lumpy and hard to get a clean line – still surfable for the keen locals who know the peak, but not the top pick.

Sunday the 2nd is similar – plenty of swell, but moderate cross-shore winds will keep it a bit choppy. Then Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th are a write-off. The swell drops and the wind is howling at 15-18 mph, it's all over the shop.

Now, there's a second stand-out window that's a bit further out. On Wednesday the 5th of August, we see another pulse of long-period groundswell, 5.2ft to 5.9ft from the SSW with periods of 16-18 seconds. The energy is massive again (1673-1804), but the wind is strong from the east, making it lumpy. It's there, but it's a gamble. The following days up until the 8th are looking blown out with strong winds.

The real promise in the second week is on Tuesday the 11th of August. We get another shot of juicy 5.9ft to 6.2ft SSW groundswell with 17-18 second periods and a clean cross-off breeze. That's a very strong pulse (over 2000 energy) and clean conditions. Mark that one in the calendar, but remember, it's a long way out so keep an eye on the charts.

There's a three-day gap of poor to marginal surf from the 8th to the 10th before that last push. Overall, the first few days are the clear winner.

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.
