Alright, let's get into it. Rusty here, and I'm looking at what we've got for Tamarin Bay over the next couple of weeks. This is a reef break that's pretty exposed to the swell, but it's an inconsistent one, so when it fires, it's a treat. The water is sitting at 78°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – a nice little bonus.

The weekend kicks off nicely. Saturday afternoon is looking like the standout early on. We've got a clean 5ft swell out of the SSW, with a period of 13 seconds, and the wind is glassy from the east at just 3 mph. That's about as good as it gets for conditions, and the combined energy is moderate at 863. This is definitely the pick of the first few days.

Sunday morning holds a bit smaller at 4ft, still from the SSW, with a 6 mph cross-offshore wind from the southeast keeping things clean. Then Sunday afternoon, the wind swings to the SSE and goes offshore, and the swell drops a touch to 4ft, but the period jumps to 16 seconds – that's some nice groundswell energy coming through (1106 energy). This longer period swell will really work well on this reef setup.

Now, Monday the 6th of July starts to get a bit more serious. The morning has a 6ft SSW swell, with a solid offshore wind from the south at 12 mph. The energy is strong at 1146. By Monday afternoon, the wind picks up to 19 mph from the south, still offshore, holding the 5ft swell steady. At 1334 energy, it's pumping, though that fresh breeze might put a bit of texture on it.

Tuesday the 7th of July is where things get big and gnarly. The morning has a 6ft S swell, but those cross-offshore winds are now a strong 25 mph, which is a lot. The energy is very strong at 1256. Then Tuesday afternoon, it goes up to a solid 10ft from the south, with 22 mph cross-offshore winds. That's a huge 2486 energy reading. This is expert territory only – that size with that much wind is not for the faint of heart, and honestly, the conditions look a bit messy.

After that, we hit a quiet spell. From Wednesday the 8th through to the 10th of July, the swell drops right off to 2ft or so, with cross-offshore winds making it clean but tiny. The energy is weak (as low as 85). Not worth paddling out for.

Things start to look interesting again on the weekend. Saturday the 11th of July shows a 5ft SSW swell with a long 16-second period, but it's got a cross-shore wind that will put a few ripples on it. The energy is moderate at 980. Sunday the 12th of July is a real standout for the second week. We've got a solid 8ft SSW swell, with a 15-second period. The wind is a gentle cross-offshore from the southeast at 9 mph, and the energy is massive at 2646. That is a proper session for experienced surfers.

The next few days, Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th of July, hold decent size, with the swell around 5ft to 7ft, and clean conditions with cross-offshore winds. The energy remains strong through this period. It then fades out again towards the end of the week, dropping below 3ft by the 15th and 16th. There's a final pulse showing for Friday the 17th of July, with a 5ft SSW swell and 16-second period, which looks promising at 1213 energy.

So, for the absolute best on offer, I'd lock in that Saturday afternoon this weekend for the glassy perfection, and then keep an eye on Sunday the 12th of July for the biggest, most powerful swell of the run, as long as you're experienced enough to handle it. Saturday the 11th is also a good call for a long-period groundswell, but be aware the wind might put a slight chop on it. The crowds at Tamarin Bay can be an issue, so pick your times.

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.
