The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking in the water. We’re talking about Tamarin Bay, a reef setup that only breaks when it feels like it, so don’t go getting your hopes up too far in advance. This one’s for the advanced crew only, especially when it gets serious.

The water is sitting at 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might get away with a thinner suit.

The first proper surf shows up on Monday, September 7th. The morning session is looking clean with a light SSE breeze blowing offshore, and a solid SSW swell at 7 ft with a long 15-second period. The combined energy is strong (1712), meaning there’s plenty of push. This is for experienced surfers only. By the afternoon, the wind picks up to 12 mph but still offshore, and the swell bumps to 8 ft, energy jumps to 2354. It’s gonna be powerful, but still clean.

Tuesday the 8th gets a bit wild. Morning sees 8 ft SSW swell, 14-second period, energy jumping to 3454, but the wind is a cross-off shore at 19 mph, making it a bit tricky. The afternoon goes even bigger with 10 ft and 16-second period, energy hitting 6050. That’s well into expert-only territory, and the wind is still fresh. If you’re a kite surfer, this setup starts looking more interesting than paddle surfing.

Wednesday the 9th is the standout. The morning brings a 13 ft SSW swell with an 18-second period, energy a massive 10485. That’s a serious groundswell. The wind is cross-off, but it’s clean. This is only for the best of the best. The afternoon drops to 12 ft but still huge, energy 8086. This is the big one, but it’s not for the faint-hearted.

From Thursday the 10th, it starts dropping. 8 ft in the morning, then 6 ft in the afternoon, and the wind stays cross-off. The energy drops too. By Friday the 11th, it’s down to 3 ft in the morning, and the afternoon is a weak 2 ft with a very long 18-second period, but poor conditions. Not worth it.

There’s a gap of poor surf from late Friday through the weekend, but Saturday the 12th shows a little pulse. Morning 6 ft, 15-second period, energy 1418, and the wind is light. Surfable for the experienced. Sunday the 13th has similar 5 ft to 6 ft with long periods, but the wind is still cross-off.

Monday the 14th has a 7 ft morning, but it’s cross-off and the quality is marginal. The rest of the week into the 15th and 16th sees a return of some size, 8 ft on Wednesday the 16th morning, but the wind is howling at 22 mph cross-off, and the quality is poor. The energy is still there (2445), but it’s messy.

From the 17th onward, it fades fast. Swell drops to 2 ft and below, with poor conditions. The last sniff of anything is on Tuesday the 22nd, with a 5 ft SSW swell, 18-second period, but the wind is cross-shore, not offshore. Not great.

The only true standout is the first half of the week, especially Wednesday the 9th. That’s the big one. After that, it’s a waiting game.

Rusty out.

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.
