The Lowdown
Rusty here, letting you know what’s cooking at Tamarin Bay. It’s an inconsistent reef break, so when it’s on, it’s on – and the first call is Friday morning, July 24. The water’s sitting at 77°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
Friday morning, July 24, is the absolute gem. A clean 3ft SSW groundswell with a 16-second period, and the wind is glassy – dead calm. Combined energy is 818 (moderate). It’s an advanced spot, so you’ll need your wits about you, and it’s often packed, so stake your claim early. The swell direction is SSW, right in the sweet spot.
Friday afternoon, July 24, keeps it going. The swell pushes to 6ft from the S, period drops to 10 seconds, but the wind stays glassy – light SSW at 5 km/h. Combined energy is 1009 (moderate). Still very good, but the size might put off the less experienced.
Saturday morning, July 25, is a letdown. The swell is 4ft from the SW, 13-second period, but the wind goes NNE at 10 km/h, giving a cross-on chop. Combined energy is 551 (moderate). Marginal. Saturday afternoon is poor with onshore wind.
Sunday, July 26, is a winner. Morning has a 3ft SSW swell, 13-second period, and glassy ENE wind at 5 km/h. Combined energy is 523 (moderate). Good and clean. The afternoon is a ripper: 3ft SSW swell, a massive 20-second period – that’s long-period groundswell – and glassy W wind at 5 km/h. Combined energy is 900 (moderate). For a reef, that long period will draw out some epic lines.
Monday, July 27, is the big boy. Morning serves up 7ft SSW swell, 16-second period, and clean cross-offshore wind from ESE at 10 km/h. The combined energy is 2136 (strong). This is expert territory, but it’s excellent. The afternoon is 7ft from the SW, but with rain and a cross-shore wind, it’s messy.
From Tuesday, July 28, the wind turns easterly, and while there’s still swell, the conditions are mostly cross-shore or cross-on, making it a fight for a clean one. There are occasional clean windows under cross-offshore winds, but nothing beats that Friday morning, July 24, or the Sunday afternoon, July 26.
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.
