The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks at Tamarin Bay.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: the first week is a bit of a struggle. There’s some swell in the water, but the wind just isn’t playing ball. For the most part, we’re looking at cross-shore breezes that have the surface chopped up and messy. It’s not going to be pretty. The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Wednesday, the 12th of August. That morning, the wind swings cross-offshore, cleaning things right up. The swell is a modest 4 ft from the SW, period around 15 seconds, giving it some decent grunt. The combined energy is moderate (543), and the water is sitting at a warm 77°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – a real bonus.
But honestly, the standout window – and I mean the real standout – is the weekend of the 16th and 17th of August. Saturday the 15th afternoon, the wind goes cross-off, the swell jumps to 7 ft from the S with a period of 19 seconds, and the energy cranks into the strong range (5229). That is proper groundswell. Then Sunday the 16th kicks off with a solid 10 ft from the S, period at 16 seconds, and energy sitting at a pumping 5611. The wind holds cross-off again, making for some clean, powerful lines. Bear in mind, this is an advanced reef break, and when it’s over 8 ft, this is experts-only territory. It also breaks inconsistently and can get crowded often, so you’ll want to be on your game. That long-period swell will wrap in nicely on this reef, giving it shape, but the sets will be spaced out.
After that, the swell drops back down quickly, and by Wednesday the 19th, we’re back to tiny, weak waves and a cross-off breeze that just can’t save the day. The energy falls off a cliff to 119, and the window closes.
So, if you’re paddling out, don’t waste your time on the early stuff. Keep your powder dry for that Saturday afternoon and Sunday the 16th. That’s your best bet – big, clean, and powerful, but only if you’ve got the skills to handle 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.
