The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down Tamarin Bay.
We’ve got a nice pulse of swell coming in mid-week, but it’s not all clean. The real standout is Wednesday afternoon the 29th through to Thursday the 30th. Wednesday morning’s a bit bumpy with a light cross-shore, but by Wednesday afternoon, the wind goes offshore from the SSE at just 3 mph, and the bay turns clean. That afternoon you’ve got a solid 7 ft SSW swell with a 14-second period, and the wave energy is cranking at 1619 – that’s strong, powerful stuff. This is groundswell with long gaps between sets, making it easier to paddle out. It’s a reef break that’s inconsistent and only for advanced surfers, so don’t mess around. Crowds are often here, but with that kind of swell and clean lines, it’ll be worth the company.
Thursday morning is still clean with 5 ft SSW and a cross-off breeze, and by Thursday afternoon it goes glassy – dead calm, no wind – with 4 ft SSW. That’s a dream, but the swell is easing.
Friday the 31st picks back up to 6 ft SSW, but the wind is cross or cross-on, and conditions turn average. Saturday the 1st of August through Sunday the 2nd holds around 6 ft to 6 ft SSW, but it’s a stiff 12–16 mph cross-shore wind all the way, so it’ll be chopped and bumpy. Not worth it.
Then we hit a flat spell. From Monday the 3rd of August right through to around the 10th, the swell drops hard – down to 2 ft to 4 ft – with poor conditions and mostly cross-shore winds. That’s about a week of nothing. There’s a tiny glimmer on Thursday the 6th afternoon with 4 ft SSW and clean conditions, but it’s marginal.
The next real chance is around Monday the 10th of August morning – 4 ft SW groundswell, clean with cross-off wind, but still marginal. By Tuesday the 11th of August morning, we get a little pulse: 6 ft SSW, 16-second period, 1517 energy, and clean again with cross-off winds. That’s the best in the second week, but it’s a long way out and less certain.
So, bottom line: Wednesday afternoon the 29th and Thursday the 30th are your picks. Big SSW groundswell, clean or glassy wind, and that reef will be pumping. After that, a long dry spell until maybe the 11th.
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.
