The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, looking at the same setup for Tamarin Bay in feet and knots. This reef is a picky one—inconsistent, needs a good SW groundswell, but when it lines up it’s world-class. Water’s a warm 25°, a little toastier than average for August.
First standout is Thursday the 13th. Clean 3ft SW swell, 13-second period, light offshore breeze—glassy, clean, and the energy is moderate (286). Crowds are common, but you’ll be smiling. Friday afternoon the 14th is the early winner: 5ft from the SSW, dead glassy, and the energy jumps to 1104—moderate groundswell with perfect wind. Remember, this is an advanced reef, not for beginners.
Saturday the 15th gets heavy. Morning has 5ft S swell but a 12-knot cross-breeze messes it up. Afternoon hits 10ft SSW with a 19-second period—that’s long-period ground energy. Expert only. Combined energy is 6289, massive, but the cross-chop will be ugly. Sunday the 16th is still big at 10ft morning and 8ft afternoon, cleaner cross-offshore wind, but still expert territory.
Then we hit a lull from Monday the 18th to Thursday the 21st. Waves drop to waist-high or less, under 4ft, with moderate energy. Winds stay clean, but the surf is marginal. A good week to fix your gear.
The big highlight lands on Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th. Monday afternoon: 7ft SSW, 16-second period, light cross-offshore breeze—clean and powerful. Tuesday morning: 6-7ft SSW, same light cross-offshore. Energy is strong (1516-2191). This is for experienced surfers only. Crowds are likely, but it’s the kind of session you wait for.
Friday the 28th shows 7ft SSW with an 18-second period and strong energy (2883), but that’s two weeks out, so keep an eye on it.
Best calls: Thursday the 13th for clean smaller waves, and the Monday-Tuesday window on the 24th-25th for size and quality. Don’t bother with the flat mid-week—just wait.
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.
