The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a proper look at what’s on offer for Tamarin Bay over the next few weeks. I won’t lie, there’s a bit of a slow start, and this is a spot for the experienced crew only – it’s an advanced, inconsistent reef set-up that needs the right conditions to turn on. Patience is key here.
We’ve got a bit of a quiet opening, so don’t be in a rush. The real standout action is shaping up for Sunday, September 13th. That morning, we’re looking at a solid 5ft SSW groundswell with a very long period of 18 seconds, clean as a whistle with a light offshore breeze. The wave energy is pumping at 2042 (moderate to strong) – proper juice for the reef. It’s a touch warmer than normal out there at 76°. Come afternoon, it’s still clean with 6ft SSW swell and a 16-second period. This is the best the forecast has to offer for experienced surfers – a true window of quality.
Monday the 14th sees the swell hanging in around 5ft to 6ft, but the wind picks up to a moderate breeze, knocking the quality back a notch. Tuesday the 15th gets blown out with a strong breeze hitting 25 mph, making it a write-off for paddle surfing – that kind of wind and chop would be more for the kite crew. Wednesday the 16th sees a solid jump in size with 10ft SSW swell, but the wind is fresh and cross-off, so while it’s big, it won’t be perfect. That size is only for experts.
After that, we drop into a long quiet spell. From Thursday the 18th right through to the end of the month, the swell drops well under 3ft and the wind goes cross-shore or onshore. The energy readings sink below 500, and conditions are rated poor. There’s a brief flicker on the 22nd of September with a 5ft SSW swell and a 19-second period (very long period), but the fresh 19 mph cross-off wind keeps it marginal. The very end of the period, around the 27th, sees a late pulse of 6ft to 8ft S/SW swell with a long period, but the wind is onshore, so it’s messy and only for the hardcore.
So, to sum it up: Sunday, September 13th is your only true standout. Everything else is either too small, too windy, or too messy. For the advanced surfer who knows Tamarin Bay, that Sunday morning and afternoon is the call.
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.
