Alright, this is Rusty comin’ at ya from the shores of Tamarin Bay. Let’s dive into what’s on the cards for the next 16 days.
First thing, the water here is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sittin’ at 78°, which is a nice little bonus.
Right now, it’s a bit of a slow start. The surf we’ve got comin’ in on Saturday, July 4th, is not worth paddlin’ out for. The swell is there, around 6 ft from the SSW, but the wind is all wrong, a light cross-shore that’s just messin’ with the surface. It’s a no-go, mate.
The real action starts to build on Sunday, July 5th. The morning sees a cleaner 4 ft from the SSW with a slight cross-off breeze, and by the afternoon, it gets proper. We’re lookin’ at a 4 ft SW groundswell with a very long period of 16 seconds, and a true offshore wind from the South. The energy is moderate, but it’ll be clean and lined up. For a reef break like this, that long period means the waves will have some real shape and power, but the sets will be spaced out a bit. This is a good start.
Then Monday, July 6th, is where it starts to get interesting. The mornin’ session is a solid 6 ft from the SW with a 13-second period and a clean offshore wind. The combined energy is moderate (1146). This is the best of the early week. The afternoon, though, gets a bit gnarly with rain showers and a fresh 30 km/h offshore wind, so the mornin’ is the pick.
We hit a bit of a rough patch from Tuesday, July 7th, through to Saturday, July 11th. Tuesday sees bigger swell, up to 8 ft, but with a short, weak period of 9 seconds and a strong cross-off breeze. That’s a messy, choppy combo. The energy is high (1965, 1907) but the quality is poor. From Wednesday the 8th to Friday the 10th, the swell drops off to almost nothin’, with energy readings droppin’ to double digits. It’s flat, flat, flat.
Now, here’s the standout. The window opens back up on Saturday, July 11th. The afternoon is the real deal: a 7 ft SSW swell with a 14-second period, and the wind goes glassy with a slight air from the SE. The combined energy is strong (1555). This is excellent for experienced surfers.
Sunday, July 12th, is a solid follow-up, but it’s for the big dogs. The mornin’ has a 8 ft SSW groundswell with a very long 15-second period. The energy is very strong (3553). The wind is a gentle cross-off. This is a powerful, heavy wave. For a reef break, that long period will make it grind and barrel, but it’s not for the faint-hearted. The crowds are often here, so get in early.
The run continues through to Monday and Tuesday, July 13th and 14th, with the swell stayin’ in the 7 ft to 8 ft range from the SSW, but the wind picks up into a moderate cross-off, takin’ the edge off the perfection. The energy is still strong (3092, 2408, 1564).
After that, from Wednesday, July 15th, through to the end of the period on Sunday, July 19th, it’s a rough story. The wind howls from the ESE at 30 km/h, or the swell fades to nothin’. There’s a small pulse on the 19th, but with a fresh cross-off and marginal energy, it’s not worth the drive.
So, the best on offer is clear: Saturday afternoon, July 11th, and Sunday mornin’, July 12th. The Saturday session is the one to aim for – clean, glassy, and powerful. The Sunday mornin’ is a beast for the experts only. Remember, this is a reef break that’s inconsistent, so when it’s on, it’s on. Even though the crowds are often, a swell like this will have everyone out.
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.
