The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but once the surf shows up at Tamarin Bay, it comes with some serious grunt. This is an advanced reef break that’s pretty inconsistent, so you’ve gotta pick your moments. The water’s sitting at 76°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – nice.

The first couple of days are a write-off. Friday the 4th has poor surf and a messy cross-shore chop. Saturday the 5th is where it starts to wake up. The morning sees a clean 6 ft SSW swell with a light cross-offshore breeze and that long 14-second period pushing through – combined energy is pumping at 1142 (moderate to strong). It’s not huge, but the conditions are tidy.

Sunday the 6th stays clean with a light breeze, but the swell drops to 4 ft in the morning and 3 ft in the afternoon, though that afternoon pulse has a 17-second period. It’s good, just not standout.

Now, Monday the 7th is the one to circle. Morning sees offshore winds (12 mph) with a 6 ft SSW swell at 15 seconds, and the combined energy is already 1557. By the afternoon, it’s 7 ft from the same direction, still offshore at 16 mph, and energy jumps to 2140 – this is excellent, clean surf for experienced surfers. This is the best run of the whole outlook.

Tuesday the 8th gets bigger – 8 ft in the morning, 10 ft in the afternoon – but the wind picks up to 19 mph and becomes cross-offshore. That’s expert-only territory, and the energy is through the roof (3081 morning, 6857 afternoon). Wednesday the 9th is even bigger: 13 ft morning and afternoon, with energy hitting 10485. The wind is still 19-22 mph cross-off. This is massive and lined up, but only for the very experienced – beginners stay out of the water.

Things ease off from Thursday the 10th through Friday the 11th, with dropping swell and moderate wind. Not much to write home about.

Saturday the 12th sees a bump back to 5 ft, clean, but nothing special. Sunday the 13th has a really promising afternoon: 4 ft from the SSW with an 18-second period and near-glass conditions (3 mph), giving a combined energy of 1304. It’s clean and lined up – a nice moment.

The following week, around the 14th and 15th of September, we see consistent 4 ft to 7 ft SSW swell but the wind turns moderate to fresh cross-off or cross, so it’s clean enough but not perfect. Then Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th bring another big pulse – 10 ft to 13 ft swell, but with cross-shore winds and energy up to 6353. That’s big, powerful, and messy for paddle surfing – honestly, that setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than a traditional paddle session. By Saturday the 19th, it’s fading and lumpy.

So the absolute standout is Monday the 7th of September. Offshore wind, solid 7 ft SSW groundswell, very long-period energy – that reef at Tamarin Bay will be firing for those who know what they’re doing. The other pick is Sunday the 13th afternoon, with glassy conditions and that 18-second groundswell – a much smaller, cleaner option for a more relaxed session.

Keep in mind, it rarely breaks consistently here, so when it lines up like it does on the 7th, don’t sleep on 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.
