Table - best surf conditions forecast for Tamarin Bay over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s break this down. It’s Rusty here, and the west coast is looking like a waiting game.
For the first week or so, we’re seeing waves, but the wind is a real problem. It’s all cross-shore or cross-off, but mostly just too strong to make it clean. You’re looking at a dry spell until the second week really kicks in.
The best bet for a proper surf is shaping up for Monday, July 20th. That’s when the stars start to align. We’ve got a nice SSW swell, pushing 6ft to 6ft, with a period of 15 to 16 seconds – that’s some serious, long-period groundswell. The combined energy is strong, reading (1513) on that Monday morning. The wind is a clean, light cross-off breeze from the ESE at about 12 mph. That’s going to mean clean, groomed waves.
The spot is Tamarin Bay. This is an advanced-level reef, and it’s an inconsistent break, so when it turns on, you’d better be there. The swell direction is SSW, which is close to their magic number of SW, so it’ll wrap into the bay perfectly. The size is in that sweet spot for experienced guys, but it’s going to be a handful for beginners.
Water temp is around 77°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
There’s a pulse earlier on Saturday, July 12th, with some big 7ft to 8ft swell from the SW, but the wind is a messy cross-shore at 12 mph. It’s big enough to be dangerous for anyone but experts, and the onshore wind is just going to ruin it.
After the 20th, the swell lingers but the wind picks back up, so don’t sleep on that Monday.
To put it plain: the first week is a washout. Get your calendar marked for Monday, July 20th. That’s your day at Tamarin Bay.
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.
