The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

We’ve got a solid run of groundswell lining up at Tamarin Bay. This is a reef break, so it’s one for the crew who know what they’re doing. The water is sitting at 77°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might not need the thickest rubber.

The real standout is Monday the 27th of July. We’re looking at a clean 8ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period, and the combined energy is pumping at 2866 (moderate to strong). The wind is glassy all morning, then just a slight air from the SW in the arvo. That’s about as good as it gets, but this wave is for advanced surfers only. At 8ft over a reef, it’s not a beginner wave. Expect crowds to be likely here, as it’s a fairly exposed spot that handles plenty of swell.

Tuesday the 28th stays solid. The morning is a bit cross, but the afternoon cleans up. The swell drops to 5ft but the period stretches to 18 seconds, and the combined energy is 2515. That’s some serious juice for a smaller wave, making it a very good option for the experienced crew.

Wednesday the 29th is similar, with a 7ft SSW swell and clean cross-off winds. The energy is still strong at 1900. Good, solid surfing.

Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st see a bit of a drop-off. Thursday has rain showers and a building cross-breeze, bumping up the surface. The swell is still there, but the quality drops. Friday improves in the afternoon with cleaner conditions and a 6ft SSW swell at 16 seconds.

The first week of August looks messy. Saturday the 1st has a 7ft swell but a moderate cross-breeze that chops it up. Sunday the 2nd gets even windier, with a fresh 19 mph cross-breeze lumping up a 7ft SSW swell. The energy is still high, but the wind ruins it. By Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th, the swell drops right off and the wind stays strong. This stretch is a write-off for paddle surfing – the setup is more interesting for kite surfing.

There’s a glimmer of hope on Wednesday the 5th of August. The swell picks up to 5ft (SSW) with a very long 19-second period, and the wind turns cross-off in the afternoon. Energy is 1779. It’s a decent option, but the morning is still choppy.

Things get a bit more interesting from the 10th of August. Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th show a 7ft SSW swell with a 15-16 second period and cross-off winds. The energy is back up around 2000-2300. This is a promising long-range call, but it’s a bit far out to bank on. The wind is still fresh, so it won’t be glassy, but it’s clean enough to be worth watching.

So, the best on offer is definitely Monday the 27th of July. Get it while it’s clean. The second week has some potential, but it’s less certain.

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.
