Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s coming our way for the next couple of weeks.
We’re looking at a bit of a slow start, but don’t write it off. The first decent session pops up on Saturday the 4th of July. Tamarin Bay is the only game in town, and it’s a reef break that needs a specific swell. It’s inconsistent, so you gotta pick your moments, but when it’s on, it’s on.
Saturday morning is a real standout. We’ve got a clean 6 ft swell rolling in from the SSW with a solid 14-second period. The wind is light and cross-offshore, meaning the faces will be smooth. The water is sitting at 78°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the thick rubber at home. The combined energy is solid at 979, so there’s plenty of push. This is your best bet for the near future.
Another one to circle on the calendar is Monday the 6th of July. The morning session sees a 6 ft SSW swell (13-second period) with a gentle offshore breeze from the SSE. The energy jumps up to 1252, and conditions are described as clean and offshore. This will be the pick of the first week, with good shape and power.
Now, for the experienced crew only, keep an eye on Saturday the 11th of July. The afternoon brings a 7 ft SSW swell, a 14-second period, and glassy conditions with a light cross-offshore breeze. The energy is very strong at 1699. This is only for the skilled surfers – too much power for beginners.
The real heavy-hitter looks to be Sunday the 12th of July. The morning session is pumping a 10 ft SSW swell with an 18-second period – that’s proper groundswell, long and powerful. The energy is massive at 5424. This is expert territory only, and with that long period, Tamarin Bay as a reef will handle it beautifully. The wind is cross-offshore, so it will be clean. For the experienced surfer, this is the week’s highlight, but it’s a long way out, so treat it as promising rather than locked in.
From the 14th onwards, things get a bit messier. The swell hangs around in the 6 ft to 8 ft range, but the wind swings more cross-shore and picks up, creating a lumpy surface. The 17th and 18th see the swell drop right off, with weak energy readings below 400 and periods that don’t offer much grunt. By then, you’re looking at small, weak waves.
Overall, the first week has two clear standouts: Saturday morning the 4th and Monday morning the 6th. Beyond that, the 12th of July is the big one for experts, but it’s a long-range call. There are gaps later in the run where it goes flat or poor, so make the most of the early days.
Stay salty.
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.
