The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ over the next couple of weeks.

We got a real mixed bag coming up, with a proper pulse of strong SSW groundswell slamming into Tamarin Bay, but it’s gonna come with some serious wind baggage. The best window is shaping up to be Thursday the 27th through the early part of the weekend, but you gotta pick your moments carefully.

The real standout of the whole period is Thursday afternoon, the 27th of August. We’re looking at a solid 10ft swell from the SSW, with a long 17-second period pushing a whole lot of energy ashore – we’re talking 5117 in the combined energy reading. What makes this one special is the offshore wind, light from the SSE, keeping the face clean. This is a wave for experienced surfers only, as it’s well over 8ft. The long period means it’ll be lining up nicely on the reef, but you’ll wanna be confident. The water temp is about average for this time of year.

Friday morning the 28th sees the swell peak even higher, hitting 13ft from the SSW, but the wind is gonna be howling from the SSE at 26 km/h. It’s cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean, but that’s a lot of power and a lot of breeze. It’s gonna be a battle for the experts only. The afternoon ramps up the wind even more, 40 km/h, making it a real handful. The weekend follows a similar pattern – big, powerful swell but with strong winds. 13ft on Saturday morning, dropping to 12ft by the afternoon, all with 40 km/h winds. The energy is still massive, but the conditions are getting gnarly. For most blokes, this setup with that much wind and size looks more interesting for kite surfing than a paddle session.

Earlier in the week, Tuesday the 25th offers a bit of something. The afternoon session has a 6ft SSW swell with a 13-second period, and a light cross-offshore ESE wind. It’s a clean, manageable size for a wider range of surfers, but the energy is only moderate (950). A good tune-up, but not the main event.

After that big swell, we get a serious drop-off. From Monday the 31st right through to Saturday the 5th of September, it’s pretty much flat or tiny junk. The swell height drops below 3ft, and the energy readings are in the low hundreds. A gap of nearly a week with no real surf.

Then, right at the tail end of the forecast, we get a little glimmer. Sunday morning the 6th of September, we’ve got a 2ft SSW groundswell with a 14-second period, and here’s the magic word: glassy. The wind is a light SSE at 5 km/h, dead calm. The energy is still weak (333), but for a clean, small wave session on a longboard, it could be a nice surprise. The 16-day call is a long way off, so take it as a promising note.

Stay safe out there, and don’t get caught inside on the big days.

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.
