The Lowdown
Right then folks, Rusty here. Let’s see what Tamarin Bay has lined up for us over the next couple of weeks. This is a proper reef set-up that doesn’t fire all that often, so when it does, you need to be on it.
It starts off pretty average. Friday the 11th is a write-off with cross-shore wind and messy conditions—nothing worth paddling out for. Saturday morning the 12th offers a bit more hope with a 5ft SSW swell and light offshore wind, but the tide and energy aren’t quite lining up. It’s the weekend crew that really gets the nod. Sunday the 13th is the first true standout: clean, light offshore winds from the SE, a 5ft to 6ft SSW groundswell with a very long period of 18 seconds, and the combined swell energy is pumping at (2042). That’s serious power for a reef, and the excellent conditions for experienced surfers are here. With that long period, the sets will be spaced out but very well-defined.
Monday and Tuesday see the swell drop and the wind pick up, so it’s back to being marginal through the middle of the week. There’s a big lump of energy showing for Wednesday the 16th with a 10ft SSW swell, but the wind is fresh and cross-off, making it a rough and tricky afternoon (3522). That’s only for the brave crew who know the reef well.
After that, we hit a proper lull. From Thursday the 17th right through to Sunday the 20th, it’s all poor to marginal—cross-shore winds, dropping swell, no real quality. You’d be wasting your time.
Now, the longer-range stuff is where it gets interesting again, and though it’s a way off, it looks promising. Monday the 22nd of September is a gem: glassy conditions, a 4ft to 6ft SSW swell with a very long period of 18 seconds, and excellent surf for experienced surfers again (1645 to 2342). That morning will be magic. Tuesday the 23rd keeps the offshore wind and clean lines, with a bigger 8ft SSW swell—still clean and offshore, but that size means it’s expert territory. If you’re not confident on the reef, give it a miss.
The water temperature is sitting at 76°, which is a touch warmer than the norm for this time of year, so you might not need more than a spring suit.
Best on offer: Without question, Sunday the 13th and Tuesday the 22nd are the two days to circle. The 13th gives you the best combo of clean wind, proper groundswell, and excellent waves. The 22nd has the glassy, offshore edge.
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.
