The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it, surfers. Rusty here.
Right off the bat, we have a classic case of "hurry up and wait." The next week is a write-off for Tamarin Bay. The swell disappears into nothing, with poor surf conditions day after day, and you wouldn't want to be out there. We have to sit through a frustrating gap of nearly a week before anything worthwhile shows up.
The real story here starts on the 5th of September. That morning, the wind drops to a glassy 5 km/h from the southeast. We get a clean 4 ft swell from the SSW, with a long period of 15 seconds. The combined energy hits 623, which is moderate, but the glassy conditions will make it look a lot better. It's a promising opener for the weekend.
But the standout, the one to circle on your calendar, is the 7th of September (Monday). The swell jumps to a solid 10 ft from the SSW, with a 15-second period. The combined energy is a very strong 3851. The wind holds clean from the ESE at a gentle 15 km/h. At this size, Tamarin Bay is an advanced wave, pure and simple. It will be too big for beginners, but for the crew who knows the reef, this is the moment. The orientation of the break lines up perfectly with the dominant SSW swell direction.
Following that, Tuesday the 8th also pumps. The afternoon session sees the same 10 ft SSW swell but with an even better 16-second period and a combined energy of 4717. The wind is still clean. This is the other true standout, right up there with Monday.
Later in the forecast, on the 12th of September (Saturday), the wind turns offshore from the south at 16 mph. We see a 12 ft S swell with a 15-second period and very strong energy of 5324. The conditions are described as marginal, but with that kind of offshore wind and size, any caveats usually get washed away for expert surfers. It's a big, powerful end to the second week, but it's further out, so keep an eye on it.
The water temp at Tamarin Bay is currently 77°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Not a big issue, just a bit of a bonus.
So, the first week is a write-off. Get your chores done. The action kicks off on Saturday the 5th, but the real highlight is the Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th. Don't miss it.
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.
