The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but this time in feet and miles per hour.
So, Tamarin Bay has a solid run of groundswell coming, but you gotta pick your moments. First up, Monday, July 20th. We're looking at glassy conditions and a solid 6ft SSW swell with a 15-second interval. That's a deep, powerful groundswell with bigtime energy, so the reef will be cranking clean lines. This is strictly for the experienced crew. Water temp is about normal for this time of year. The afternoon stays glassy and the swell jumps to 8ft out of the same direction, still clean and powerful.
Tuesday the 21st starts a little messy with a cross-on breeze, but the afternoon cleans right up. You’ll get glassy conditions again on a 6ft SSW swell at 12 seconds. Good waves, but the morning wind will annoy you.
Wednesday the 22nd is clean in the morning with a 6ft SSW swell and light offshore winds, but the breeze picks up in the afternoon and the quality drops. Thursday the 23rd is a write-off as the swell drops and the wind gets strong.
Now, if you want the true standout, circle Monday, July 27th. We’re talking about a monster 15ft SSW groundswell with a 17-second period. The energy reading is insane. That’s exceptional, dangerous surf for experts only. Winds are offshore and clean, but at that size, it's a big-wave reef, no place for beginners. The afternoon drops to 13ft but remains offshore and clean.
Tuesday the 28th still has plenty of size, with 6ft and 8ft swells and clean conditions. From the 29th through the 2nd of August, the quality drops off as the winds get fresh or cross. The start of August gets a bit messy with stronger winds, but there's some long-period energy lurking around the 4th, though the cross-shore winds keep it from being a real standout.
So, the week of the 27th is the peak, but you better be ready. The early days also offer some clean, fun waves if you pick the right session. If you’re not chasing big waves, you’ll have to be patient.
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.
