The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Tamarin Bay.
Right now, it's a tough start. The first few days from Monday the 31st of August through to Friday the 4th of September are pretty much a write-off. The water is sitting at 25° with a touch warmer than normal anomaly, but the wind is howling from the east at 19 mph, whipping up a lumpy cross-chop across the reef. The wave energy is weak to moderate (941) and the swell is a messy 6 ft from the south with a short period of 13 seconds – it's poor surf conditions, no two ways about it. You'd be better off staying on the beach.
We have a big gap of poor conditions until things start to turn around. The first real glimmer of hope comes on Saturday the 5th of September. The morning session is the standout here. We've got a clean 5 ft SSW groundswell, with a long period of 14 seconds, and a gentle ESE breeze that's cross-offshore at 9 mph. The combined energy is strong (961) and the forecast says expect very good surf conditions. The reef handles a long-period swell well, so this is your best bet for the coming week. The afternoon is a bit more marginal with rain showers, but still worth a look.
Sunday the 6th is ok but nothing special, with a slight cross-chop. Then we get another cracker on Monday the 7th of September. The morning is clean with a light offshore from the SSE at 3 mph, and a solid 6 ft SSW swell with 14-second period. The energy is pumping (1099) and it's rated as very good. Tuesday the 8th of September is even better – the afternoon sees 6 ft SSW swell, 15-second period, and the energy is very strong (2451). Excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers. The wind is cross-offshore and clean.
Now, Wednesday the 9th of September gets a bit wild. The morning has an 8 ft SW swell with a 16-second period, but the wind is cross-onshore, making it choppy and marginal. That's one for experts only, and it's not the cleanest.
The second week is more mixed. Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th are mostly poor to marginal with cross-onshore winds. Saturday the 12th of September has a nice surprise in the afternoon – a light offshore from the south at 3 mph, with a clean 5 ft SSW swell (680 energy). That's a good session. Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th are clean but small, with 3 ft to 3 ft SSW swells. By Tuesday the 15th of September, it's small and ordinary again.
So, if you're looking for the best, hit the Saturday the 5th of September morning, or the Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th of September. Those are the standouts. The rest of the window is a bit of a mixed bag, but the bay tends to come good again once the wind settles.
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.
