The Lowdown

G'day, it's Rusty.

Alright, let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Tamarin Bay. This is a tricky, advanced reef break that doesn't fire all that often, so when the conditions line up, it’s a special thing. The water is sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, about 77°, which is a nice little bonus.

The week kicks off with a bit of a slow start, but the first standout is on Saturday afternoon, 18 July. We’ve got a clean 4ft SSW groundswell rolling in with a solid 13-second period, and a light cross-off wind. The combined energy is moderate at 409, and with that offshore breeze, it’s going to be a fun, clean session. Not huge, but super inviting.

Sunday, 19 July, is a gem for the early birds. Sunday morning has some clouds, but the wind is barely a whisper from the SE at 3 mph, which is cross-off, and the swell is a small 2ft from the SW. The period is a very long 16 seconds, which is proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is low at 260, but that long period means the sets will be lined up and powerful for their size. The afternoon cleans up even more, turning glassy with a 2ft SW swell and a 15-second period, combined energy at 295. It’s not a big day, but it’s a beautiful, clean day for a reef break that rewards timing.

Monday, 20 July, is where it ramps up and becomes the real highlight of the week. The morning has a bit of cross-on wind, but the afternoon is pure magic. We’re looking at a 7ft SSW groundswell with a 14-second period, and it’s absolutely glassy – zero wind. The combined energy is a strong 1913, and that’s going to be pumping. This is excellent surf, but it’s only for experienced surfers. That size on a reef, with that power, is not for the faint-hearted. The backup on Tuesday morning, 21 July, is also glassy with a 6ft SSW swell, combined energy of 1098, so there’s a good run of quality.

As we move into the second week, it gets more complicated. The wind picks up from the 22nd onwards, with a moderate breeze and cross-off conditions keeping things clean, but the swell drops and then jumps around. Wednesday morning, 22 July, is still clean with a 6ft S swell, but the wind is stronger. From Thursday, 23 July, the swell drops right off to under 3ft, and the wind is a constant 16 mph, making it lumpy and messy.

The end of the week kicks up again. Sunday, 26 July, brings a very long period 22-second SSW groundswell at 4ft, but the combined energy jumps to 1535. The period is so long that it will be breaking straight at this beach break setup, so it’s likely better for the reef. Monday, 27 July, is the big one of the second week. We’re looking at a 8ft SSW swell with a 17-second period, combined energy at a massive 4013. That’s serious, expert-only territory. The wind is cross-off, keeping it clean, but the sheer size and power are immense. The following days, 28 July, see it peak at 12ft with cross-shore winds and rain, making it a wild, lumpy beast. This is more of a kite-surfing show than a paddle session, to be honest.

The last few days of the month fade out with smaller, cleaner swells, but the wind stays strong, making it hard to find a clean window. Overall, the best bet is the first few days, with Monday afternoon, 20 July, being the absolute standout for experienced surfers looking for a clean, powerful reef session.

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.
