The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about it.
You’re gonna be waiting a few days. Right now, nothing’s happening, but it gets going on Thursday, August 27th. That afternoon is the best surf of the whole run. Tamarin Bay is the only spot in play, and it’s a reef that needs a SW swell to really fire – and that’s exactly what’s coming. A solid 10ft (3.0m) SSW groundswell, long period of 17 seconds, and the combined energy is strong – 5117. Wind is a light offshore from the SSE at 9 mph, so it’ll be clean, glassy. Water temp is about 77°F, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. This is for advanced surfers only – that’s a lot of power on a reef. The break is inconsistent, so you’ll have to be patient, but the sets will be memorable. Crowds are often around.
Friday the 28th still has size – 13ft (4.0m) SSW, period 16 seconds – but the wind picks up. Morning is 16 mph offshore, still good, but afternoon it cranks to 25 mph, making it hard to paddle into. Saturday and Sunday the 29th and 30th still have 8 to 13ft waves, but the wind turns cross-off from the SE at 22 mph – clean but choppy. Energy drops each day. Then Monday the 31st onward, the swell fades and the wind goes cross-shore, making it poor.
There’s a gap of several days with nothing good from August 31st through September 4th. Tiny waves, messy conditions. Then around Saturday, September 5th, a new little pulse shows – 3ft (0.8m) SW swell, but with a very long period of 19 seconds. On a reef, those long-period waves can hold shape. Energy is low at 532, and wind is light cross-off. It’s a small, clean session. From September 6th through 10th, there’s waist to chest high SW swell, clean enough with cross-off winds, but nothing special – energy in the 500 to 1600 range. By the 11th, it fades out again.
If you’re experienced, Thursday, August 27th afternoon is your window. Friday morning is also great if you can handle the paddle. The rest of the run is either windy, dropping, or just small. The early September window has some promise, but it’s background level.

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.
