The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk waves. We got a run that's all about one big day, and then a whole lot of waiting for the ocean to get its act together. Gotta be patient and pick your moments.
Right off the bat, Tuesday's a washout. We got a bit of swell but the cross-off wind is making it lumpy, and even though there's a bunch of energy (3011), it's not lining up. It's a "stay on the beach" day, honestly.
Wednesday's the one. That's our standout. The swell jumps to a solid 13ft from the SSW with an 18-second period. That's proper groundswell, and the energy is cranking (10785). The wind is cross-off which keeps the face clean, but 13ft at Tamarin Bay (Mauritius) is a serious, expert-only wave. This is a day for the crew who know the reef with their eyes closed. It's going to be big, powerful, and a real test. The morning session will be the pick.
Thursday is a big step down. Swell drops to 8ft and the energy falls off a cliff (3180). Still, it's surfable, but the magic is gone. Friday's a no-go, it's just too small and poor.
The weekend is where we get a bit of hope, but it stays modest. Saturday morning has a fun looking 5ft with a 15-second period and light winds. It's not huge, but it could be clean. Sunday morning looks slightly better, with 6ft and an 18-second period, and it's got that "excellent for experienced" tag, so there's some push in it. The winds are light, which is a major plus.
The whole of next week is a grind. It's not big, and the wind is more cross than anything. We get some 5-6ft days but it's inconsistent and the energy is weak (1159). It's the kind of week where you're checking the cam more than you're paddling out.
Then, we look to the 19th. Saturday the 19th gets a solid 5ft from the SW with a 19-second period. The wind is light and cross-off, and it's tagged as excellent for experienced surfers. It's not the beast of the 9th, but it might be cleaner and more manageable. That's your second standout, but it's a promise, not a guarantee. After that, the swell fades out again, and we're looking at small leftovers to close out the window.
Water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there—just grab the springsuit.

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.
