The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Right, let’s have a proper look at what’s coming up for Tamarin Bay. This is a reef setup that rarely fires, so when it does, it’s pretty special. The water’s sitting at 77°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might not need the thickest rubber.

First up, Wednesday the 19th is a write-off—tiny 1ft SW swell, weak energy (66), and cross-shore breeze making a mess of things. Nothing doing. The afternoon edges up to 3ft from the south with a clean line, but the energy’s still moderate (328) and it’s really just a tease for what’s coming.

Thursday the 20th brings cleaner conditions but only knee-high stuff. Nothing to get excited about.

Friday morning the 21st is where it starts to wake up. 3ft from the SW, period at 13 seconds, and the energy jumps to 418—moderate but building. The wind is cross-off, so it’ll be clean. The afternoon goes backward with cross-on wind and messy surf.

Saturday the 22nd: morning sees 5ft from the SW, but it’s cross-shore and a bit choppy. The real turn comes Saturday afternoon—5ft from the SSW, light offshore wind, clean. Energy’s up to 857, which is moderate-strong. Now we’re talking.

Sunday the 23rd is a standout. Morning brings 7ft from the SSW—that’s getting solid, but it’s cross-shore and lumpy. The afternoon though… glassy, 7ft from the SSW, period 14 seconds. Energy is strong at 1906. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The long-period groundswell will hold up well on this reef, and with glassy conditions, it’s about as good as it gets.

Monday the 24th keeps the pump going. 8ft from the SSW, period 14 seconds, energy hitting 2570. Morning’s clean, afternoon’s offshore and clean. This is big for Tamarin Bay—too much for beginners. Experts only, and you’ll want to be on your game.

Tuesday the 25th drops off a bit to 6ft, but the afternoon turns glassy with 5ft from the SSW. Still fun, but the real juice has passed.

Wednesday the 26th morning is glassy again with 7ft from the SSW and energy at 2702. Excellent. Afternoon pushes to 10ft but the wind swings to a moderate cross-off. Still clean, but big.

Thursday the 27th gets wild. 8ft in the morning, period 16 seconds, but the wind is a strong breeze at 25 mph. Afternoon hits 12ft with a 19-second period—very long groundswell, energy at 8636. That’s strong. Only for the brave, and even then it’ll be challenging.

Friday the 28th is the monster. 16ft from the SSW, period 18 seconds, energy at 15172. That’s very strong wave energy. Wind’s a fresh breeze cross-off at 19 mph. This is huge, heavy, and only for elite surfers on the right tide. Same story Saturday the 29th: 10ft and dropping but still big.

From the 30th onward it fades. 6ft on Sunday, down to 3ft by Monday the 31st. Still clean but not worth the paddle.

Into September, Tuesday the 1st shows a glimmer: 7ft from the SSW, period 16 seconds, and the afternoon goes glassy. Energy’s moderate at 1997. That could be a sneaky good session if the long-period sets line up on the reef.

Overall, the absolute standout is Sunday afternoon the 23rd and Monday the 24th—glassy, clean, solid 7ft to 8ft SSW groundswell. That’s your window. The second week gets massive and gnarly, but if you’re expert, Friday the 28th is a beast. Keep an eye on the wind.

Stay safe out there.

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.
