The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Tamarin Bay over the next couple weeks, in feet and miles per hour.
We start off good. Saturday morning the 5th brings clean 6 ft SSW groundswell, light offshore wind at 6 mph. The combined energy is strong at (1142), and the swell is coming from the southwest, which is exactly what this reef wants. Tamarin is an advanced spot and it’s inconsistent, so you wait for sets, but when they come, it’ll be glassy and lined up.
Sunday the 6th is smaller — 4 ft in the morning, clean. Afternoon goes to 3 ft but with a 17-second period, so the waves have real push. Energy is (807), enough to keep you interested.
Monday the 7th is the standout. The swell hits 7 ft to 8 ft, still SSW, period 15 seconds, and the wind turns offshore — light breeze off the land. That’s the dream combo. Energy jumps to (1712) and then (2354) in the afternoon. Over 8 ft is expert-only territory, and this is right there. If you’ve got the skills, Monday morning is the call.
Tuesday the 8th goes bigger — 7 ft to 8 ft — but the wind cranks up to 22 mph cross-off. The energy is over 3000 and 5000, but the surface gets messy. Not the same quality.
Wednesday the 9th is massive — 13 ft to 15 ft, energy over 11,000 — but with 22 mph cross-off winds, it’s rough and blown out. That setup looks more interesting for kiting than paddling.
Thursday the 10th drops to 7 ft but winds stay fresh. Friday the 11th fades to 3 ft and under 300 energy. Not worth it.
There’s a small return Saturday the 12th: 6 ft, clean, energy back to (1189). Light winds again. A good session after the big stuff. Sunday the 13th has 4 ft to 5 ft with very long period (up to 19 seconds), but the wind picks up, and the quality is questionable.
From Monday the 14th onward, it’s grim. Strong winds, dropping swell. The 15th has a 10 ft S swell with cross-shore winds — lumpy, choppy. Energy (1959) but the wind ruins it.
The 17th through 18th are poor — under 3 ft, weak energy, not worth a paddle. The 19th and 20th see 3 ft waves with light winds, but energy stays under 500. Surfable on a longboard but nothing to get excited about.
So the best bet is the first few days — especially Monday the 7th. After that, it’s either too big and windy, or too small. Get on it early.
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.
