The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, in feet and degrees.
Let’s start with Tamarin Bay. The first week and a half is a tough slog. From Monday, August 3rd all the way through to the morning of Saturday, August 16th, there’s hardly a wave worth chasing. The swell is stuck between 2ft and 4ft, coming from the south and southwest, with cross and cross-off winds out of the east and southeast. The wave energy is mostly weak to moderate, in the hundreds. The wind is often a fresh breeze, and the surf conditions are rated poor. It’s a real dry spell. Tamarin Bay is a reef break that’s inconsistent, so a run like this is more normal than you’d hope.
The real action starts to show on Monday, August 17th. The morning pushes a 5ft groundswell from the SW, with a long period of 16 seconds. The combined energy is strong at 1104. The wind eases to a light breeze from the SE, making it cross-off, and the report says “expect very good surf conditions.” For a reef break, that long-period swell will set up perfectly. It’s not for the faint of heart at that size, but for the experienced guys, it’s clean, powerful, and has some real push. The afternoon holds similar at 5ft with 1053 energy.
Then Tuesday, August 18th is the big one. The morning brings a massive 12ft swell from the SSW, with a 14-second period. The combined energy is an enormous 5677. The wind is a gentle offshore breeze from the SE. That’s a serious, heavy, expert-only day. The water is about average temperature for this time of year.
So, the takeaway is clear: a long, flat wait, then a bang. The 17th is your best bet for solid, quality surf, and the 18th is for the brave and the skilled.
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.
