The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk about this in feet and miles per hour.
We got a solid run of surf ahead, but it's a slow starter. The real gold is in the last week of July and the first few days of August.
The water is 77°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. Nice.
Monday the 20th starts off weak. The morning at Tamarin Bay is a mess with a light cross-onshore messing up the 6ft SSW swell. The afternoon is a different story. Dead calm, glassy, and a clean 8ft SSW swell. That's a powerful reef wave, and at that size, it's for the big dogs only. The energy is cranking.
Tuesday the 21st is better in the afternoon. A clean 7ft SSW swell, light offshore breeze from the SSW. That's the recipe for a good session. The swell period is a solid 12 seconds, so it's got some punch.
Wednesday the 22nd is still clean in the morning, 6ft from the S, but the wind is a bit more side-shore. Still good, but not as perfect.
Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th are a bust. The swell drops to 2ft and 3ft. Not worth it.
Saturday the 25th afternoon is a nice little glass-off. 4ft SSW swell, clean and fun. A good one.
Sunday the 26th is glassy in the morning, but the swell is a small 4ft. The afternoon has a 3ft SSW swell with a very long 20-second period. That's clean but might be a bit inconsistent.
Now, the big one. Monday the 27th of July. This is the standout. The morning is a massive 12ft SSW swell, 16-second period, light and clean. The energy is through the roof. The afternoon is even bigger and just as clean. This is a proper, serious groundswell. Not for beginners. At over 8ft, it's a big, dangerous reef wave for experts only.
Tuesday the 28th is still big, 8ft to 10ft, but the wind gets up, making it a bit choppy.
The end of the month and start of August look excellent again. Friday the 31st of July afternoon is glassy with a 4ft SSW swell, but the period is a very long 19 seconds. That's a beautiful, clean wave.
Then, Saturday the 1st of August and Sunday the 2nd of August are another top-shelf block. Saturday afternoon is glassy, 6ft from the SSW. Sunday the 2nd is even better – clean, light offshore, 5ft to 6ft SSW swell, with a very long 18 to 20-second period. The energy is strong. This is prime, clean, powerful surf.
Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th of August still have size, 7ft to 8ft, but the wind turns onshore, so the quality drops. Still, a 7ft SSW swell is nothing to complain about.

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.
