Alright mate, let’s have a look at what Tamarin Bay’s got brewing.

We’re staring down a dry spell at Tamarin Bay for the most part. The first week is mostly junk with weak, messy surf and side-shore winds. The first real flicker of life is Friday the 10th. But the one that’s got my blood pumping is much further out. Mark Sunday the 19th of July. It’s a long way off, so don’t book the time off yet, but the early signs are heavy.

Tamarin Bay is an advanced reef break, and it’s inconsistent, so when it goes off, you better be on it. Water temp is about normal for this time of year.

This week is ugly. Tuesday morning the 7th kicks off with a 1.9m SSW swell, 13-second period, but that SE wind at 25 mph is cross-off and the surf is poor. The afternoon cleans up a bit with a 2.5m S swell, but it’s still a questionable call with the wind. Combined energy reads 2080 – it’s got power, but no shape. Wednesday the 8th is more of the same with rain and cross-off winds. It drops to a tiny 0.5m SW (104 energy) in the afternoon. Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th morning are flat and cross-shore junk. Then Friday afternoon the 10th, we get a little pocket of clean: a 0.9m SSW groundswell from 16 seconds, with a gentle cross-off. It’s tiny, but it’s clean. Combined energy is 447. That’s your first chance to get wet.

Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th see the swell build back up to 1.5m and 2.0m, but the wind is side-shore and choppy. Monday the 13th has a 1.9m SW swell (1368 energy) with a cross-off in the afternoon – still just marginal. Then it’s back to poor and lumpy from Tuesday the 14th through Saturday the 18th. A real dry run.

Now, Sunday the 19th of July. That’s the big dawg. The morning shows a 2.5m S swell with a 19-second period. That’s deep ocean groundswell. Combined energy is a beastly 5498. Wind is a clean cross-off from the ESE at 19 mph. For an advanced reef, this is the dream scenario. With a 19-second period, those waves will be long, fast, and powerful. It’s too big for beginners, and with that period, it’s only for the experienced crew. The afternoon bumps up to 3.0m S (5758 energy) with a 17-second period. That’s serious. Crowds are listed as ‘often’ here, and on a day like this, expect the lineup to be packed.

Don't paddle out before the 10th. The 10th is your small, clean warm-up. The 19th is the main event. Far out, but if it holds, Tamarin Bay will be absolute fire.

Keep your wax warm,
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.
