The Lowdown
Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s dig into what’s happening at Tamarin Bay for the next couple of weeks.
The first few days are nothing to write home about – cross-shore winds and messy surf. Tamarin Bay is a reef break, only for advanced surfers, and it’s inconsistent, so you have to wait for the right days. The first good window doesn't open until the morning of September 5th.
September 5th morning is where it starts. Swell is 6 ft from the SSW, period 14 seconds – that’s quality groundswell. A gentle offshore breeze from the ESE is keeping the surface clean. The wave energy is strong (1142). Water temp is 76°, which is about 3° warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s noticeably warm.
September 6th afternoon is a glassy gem – zero wind, 4 ft SSW swell, 13 seconds period. That’ll be smooth and fun.
For the big boys, September 9th morning is a proper event. Swell hits 15 ft from the SSW, period 17 seconds – that’s a very long period groundswell. Energy is enormous (10636). It’s big, powerful, and only for experts. The wind is fresh cross-off, so it’s clean but absolutely charging.
Then on September 14th morning, another solid swell: 8 ft from the south, 11 seconds, with light offshore winds. Energy is strong (1704). Another good session for experienced surfers.
The standout windows are September 5th morning for a classic, clean, fun day, and September 9th morning for those looking to push the limits. The rest of the period has some decent moments, but these two are the ones to circle on the calendar.
Tamarin Bay doesn’t fire often, so when it does, you don’t miss it.

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.
