The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here, lookin’ at the next couple weeks for Tamarin Bay. This is a reef set-up that’s advanced-only and inconsistent, so when it fires, it’s a proper mission, but when it’s flat, you’re just watchin’ the horizon. We’ve got a solid run of clean swell comin’ through, but the trade-off is some serious wind later on.

The first standout kicks off Thursday afternoon, July 23. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 77°, which is nice. We’ve got a 5 ft swell from the south with a 12-second period, and the wind is a clean offshore from the south at 12 mph. The energy is strong with 1007, so expect some proper lines. It’s clean, it’s got power, and it’s just for the crew who know the reef.

Friday morning, July 24, sees a drop to 3 ft but the period jumps to 16 seconds – that’s proper groundswell. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the southeast at 3 mph, so it’s glassy. The energy is still solid at 813. By Friday afternoon, it builds to 6 ft from the south at 10 seconds, with 941 energy and the same light southeast wind. That afternoon session is a ripper.

Saturday morning, July 25, is a bit of a letdown with a cross-on wind from the northeast at 6 mph and a 4 ft, 13-second swell. The energy is 551, but the wind is messy. Saturday afternoon turns it around though – glassy conditions with a 4 ft, 14-second swell from the south-southwest. The energy is 578, and it’s glassy. That’s a window.

Sunday morning, July 26, is glassy with a 3 ft, 13-second swell from the south-southwest, 523 energy. Sunday afternoon is the real gem: 3 ft but the period jumps to 20 seconds, with 900 energy and glassy conditions. That’s a long, clean groundswell that will hold up on the reef.

Monday, July 27, is the true standout. Morning sees 7 ft from the south-southwest at 16 seconds, with 2136 energy and a clean cross-offshore from the east-southeast at 6 mph. That’s excellent for experienced surfers only – 7 ft is big for most. Monday afternoon is even bigger at 7 ft, 16 seconds, 2320 energy. The wind is still clean. That’s the peak of the run.

From Tuesday, July 28, through the end of the month, the swell stays solid but the wind swings to a cross-shore from the east-northeast at 12 to 16 mph, creating chop. The energy is still high, like 2928 on Tuesday afternoon, but the quality drops. It’s a bit of a battle.

Towards the end of the first week of August, the wind cranks up to 19 to 22 mph from the east-southeast, staying cross-off but it’s a fresh breeze. The swell drops and the conditions turn poor. From August 5 afternoon to August 7, the swell is tiny and the wind is a cross-shore, with energy dropping to 124. That’s a full blank run for the rest of the outlook.

Overall, the best on offer is Monday, July 27, with the biggest, cleanest swell of the whole period. The Sunday afternoon glassy session with the 20-second period is a close second if you want the long lines. Don’t sleep on the first few days though – Thursday and Friday are clean and fun.

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.
