The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Tamarin Bay. The next 16 days have a bit of a mixed bag, with a proper wait for the really good stuff.
We’ve got a big, clean swell on the horizon, but you’ll need to be patient. The first week is mostly a write-off for quality surfing. There’s a small window on Saturday, 5th September, that looks promising—a clean 4ft to 5ft SSW swell with light offshore winds. The water is sitting at 77°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year (a 3° anomaly), so you won’t need a thick steamer.
But the real standout is on Monday, 7th September and Tuesday, 8th September. Monday sees a clean 6ft to 7ft SSW swell (combined wave energy of 1427 to 2414), building into Tuesday with a massive 10ft SSW groundswell and glassy conditions. That’s the pick of the entire forecast. This is advanced territory at over 8ft, so it’s for experienced surfers only. The swell period around 14 to 16 seconds means proper long-period groundswell; it’ll wrap in nicely at this reef break, offering great shape and long lulls between sets to get back out.
Before that, from Saturday 29th August through to Thursday 4th September, conditions are poor to marginal. Expect lumpy cross-shore winds and mostly small, weak swell. There’s a brief spike on Saturday 5th, but the real fireworks are the following Monday and Tuesday. After Tuesday, the swell drops off quickly through the second week, with only a few clean but small days around 3ft to 4ft, nothing to write home about. The crowds at Tamarin Bay can be a factor, so for that Monday/Tuesday window, get out early.
This is a spot that’s inconsistent and only fires on the right swell, so when it lines up like this, you don’t miss it.
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.
