The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s talk Tamarin Bay. This is a reef break, advanced only, and it’s inconsistent, so when it fires, you’ve got to be on it. Water’s at 76°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year—nothing crazy, but you’ll feel the difference.
The 16-day run starts slow. Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th are basically no-go. Thursday morning has a big 8ft SSW groundswell with a 15-second period, combined energy at 3180—strong stuff. But the wind is a fresh cross-off at 22 mph, and the report says it’s marginal or has questionable tides. Not worth it. That afternoon and into Friday, the swell drops, and the winds are still fresh to moderate. Pass.
Saturday the 12th is where we wake up. Swell is a consistent 5ft from the SSW, with periods around 14 to 15 seconds. Energy is moderate to strong (1200/1000). The wind is light, cross-off, and the report says to expect very good surf conditions. Clean, lined up, and ready for the advanced crew.
Sunday the 13th is a true standout. Morning has 5ft of SSW groundswell with a long 18-second period, energy at 2059—strong. Wind is light and cross-off, surf is excellent for experienced surfers. That long period will wrap beautifully around the reef. Crowds are often, so get in early. This is the best of the first week.
Monday the 14th holds up. 6ft in the morning, 5ft in the arvo. Winds go offshore in the afternoon—clean and glassy. Very good surf.
Tuesday the 15th is blown out. Fresh cross-off winds kill the 3ft to 5ft swell. Skip it.
Wednesday the 16th is for experts only. 10ft of SSW swell, 16-second period, energy at a massive 4528 in the morning. But the wind is fresh cross-off, making it marginal. Raw power, messy conditions. Only for the brave and skilled.
Thursday the 17th: rain, cross-shore winds, poor surf.
Friday the 18th afternoon is a glassy gem. Swell drops to 2ft, but the wind is glassy, period is 19 seconds—very long groundswell. Energy is 729, moderate. It’ll be clean and slow, a perfect mellow sesh.
Saturday the 19th is clean but small.
Into the second week, Tuesday the 22nd brings 5ft to 6ft of SW/SSW swell with long periods (16-18 seconds). Energy is moderate to strong (1334 to 2235). Wind is light but cross to cross-onshore, so not perfect, but surfable.
Wednesday the 23rd afternoon is another standout. 7ft from the SW, 17-second period, energy at 2760, and the wind goes glassy. Excellent for experienced surfers. The reef will handle it perfectly.
Friday the 25th morning is also a big one: 7ft of SSW groundswell, 18-second period, energy at 3135, and light offshore wind. Clean, powerful. The afternoon gets messy with rain.
So, the standout days are Sunday the 13th and Wednesday the 23rd afternoon. Those are the ones to pencil in. For the rest, pick your windows. This spot is inconsistent and advanced only, and crowds are often, so plan accordingly.

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.
