The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what Tamarin Bay has in store for the next couple of weeks.
Things are pretty quiet to start. The water is sitting at 25°, a touch warmer than usual for the season, which is nice. But from Monday 17th through to Thursday 20th, the surf is mostly marginal. We’re talking 2ft to 5ft, with a muddy cross-shore chop and weak to moderate energy (1757 down to 197). Not worth getting wet for.
Thursday 20th afternoon is a little sneaky winner. A tiny 2ft swell but with a very long 17-second period from the SW. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so it’s clean. The energy is moderate (330). It's small but lined up – a quiet session for the skills.
Friday 21st and Saturday 22nd are average, with 4ft to 5ft SW swell and gentle cross-shore breezes. Energy bounces between 463 and 781. Rideable, but nothing special.
Now, Sunday 23rd August is the real deal. We get a 10ft SSW swell from a 15-second period, and the energy is roaring at 3570. The wind is a gentle cross-shore, so it’s clean. That’s big – over 8ft, so expert chargers only. The reef will be handling some serious power. This is the session to circle.
Monday 24th afternoon keeps it going with a 6ft SSW swell, light cross-offshore breeze, and solid energy (1117).
We get a small dip Tuesday, then Wednesday 26th August afternoon fires up again: 8ft SSW swell at 14 seconds, gentle cross-offshore wind, and very strong energy (2655). Clean and heavy. Experts only.
The following week is wild. Friday 28th August morning pushes a massive 15ft S swell with a 14-second period. The energy reading is absolutely massive at 13625. Wind is fresh offshore, so the faces will be clean but it’s for big-wave pros. It’s a 16-day forecast, so it’s promising but keep checking in. Saturday 29th stays solid with 10ft to 8ft S swell.
By Sunday 30th it drops right back, and through to Tuesday 1st September it’s small again, with the final afternoon showing a 3ft SW swell with light offshore wind and clean conditions.
So, the first few days are a write-off. Your best bets are Sunday 23rd and Wednesday 26th for big, clean, powerful reef waves. If you’re not an expert, stay on the beach.
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.
