The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got cooking at Tamarin Bay over the next couple of weeks.

First up, the water’s running a touch warmer than usual for this time of year at 76°F, about 3°F above the norm. That’s a nice little bonus.

The surf is pretty modest to start with, but it's clean. Thursday morning sees a clean 3ft of SW groundswell with a 13-second period and a light ESE cross-off breeze. The energy is weak at 286, but it’s surfable. Thursday afternoon cleans right up with a 3 mph offshore wind from the S, still on that 3ft SW swell – that's a nice window for any advanced crew willing to take on a spot that’s inconsistent and can get crowded. Friday morning drops right off, but hold onto your boards because Friday afternoon brings the first real standout. We get a glassy 5ft SSW groundswell with a period of 13 seconds and a combined energy of 1090, which is moderate but building. Absolutely clean conditions.

Saturday gets bigger, but the wind freshens up from the ESE at 9-12 mph. The swell jumps to 5ft on Saturday morning with a very long 21-second period from the S, which gives the waves serious power (3855 energy). It’s a solid cross-off breeze though, so it’s not perfect. By Saturday afternoon, the swell hits 10ft from the SSW. That’s getting into the big stuff, only for the experts, but the wind is getting stiffer at 12 mph. Sunday and Monday keep that 7ft+ S/SSW groundswell running, but with persistent 9-12 mph cross-off winds, it's a bit messy for the perfectionists.

The middle of next week, Tuesday and Wednesday the 19th and 20th, are a write-off for quality. The swell drops away and the wind stays up around 15 mph. Not worth the paddle. Thursday the 21st sees a return of cleaner, smaller conditions with light breezes and 2ft to 3ft SW swells. Not pumping, but workable.

Next week gets solid again. Saturday the 23rd pushes back up to 7ft SSW with moderate wind, and Sunday the 24th has a lumpy 8ft S swell with 15 mph ESE winds. That one’s blown out.

Now, the potential highlight of the whole outlook falls on Tuesday the 25th. The data shows a clean 7ft SSW swell with a 17-second period and strong energy (2660) and a gentler ESE breeze. The morning session looks excellent for experienced surfers, with a long-period groundswell that will wrap into the reef nicely. It’s a bit of a long-range call, so stay tuned, but that window looks special.

Wednesday the 26th brings the biggest swell of the period: a massive 13ft S groundswell with a 16-second period. The combined energy is a colossal 9471 – that’s very strong. But the wind is howling from the ESE at 15-18 mph. For paddle surfing, that’s a beast and likely blown out. Kite surfers will be licking their lips though. The rest of that last week drops in size but stays bumpy with strong winds.

The standout pick: Friday afternoon the 14th – that glassy 5ft SSW groundswell is as clean as it gets for a break that’s usually inconsistent. After that, keep your eye on the morning of Tuesday the 25th for a bigger, cleaner window of proper wave energy.

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.
