The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking in on the bay for the next couple of weeks.
Look, to be straight with you, the first few days of September are a total write-off. We’ve got nothing but tiny, weak dribble from the 2nd right through to the 4th. The swell is barely registering, with the combined energy sitting in the double digits (60), and cross-shore winds are messing up what little shape there is. It’s a flat spell you’d use to fix your dings or just chill.
Things start to get interesting on the morning of Saturday the 5th. The swell kicks up to a solid 5.6ft from the SSW, and the energy jumps to a strong 1142. With a light, cross-off breeze, Tamarin Bay starts to look like a real wave. The standout session, though, is the afternoon of Saturday the 5th. We get a clean 4.6ft SSW swell, but the wind swings to a light offshore from the S. That’s the ticket. The water is 76.1°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so a wetsuit is still your friend, but it’s not a teeth-chatterer.
Sunday the 6th keeps the clean lines going, with another 3.6ft of swell and offshore winds in the afternoon. The energy is a solid 698. Good, fun waves, but not the biggest.
Now, the real highlight of the whole run is Monday the 7th. The morning brings a 5.6ft SSW groundswell with a 15-second period and a very strong energy rating of 1281. But the afternoon? That’s the one. The swell pushes to 7.2ft from the SSW, and the energy screams up to 2048. The wind goes offshore from the SSE. This is where the advanced surfers earn their keep. It’s a big, powerful reef wave, and it’s only for those who know what they’re doing. The crowd is likely to be thick here, as everyone will be onto it.
From Tuesday the 8th through to Thursday the 10th, the swell gets even bigger—9.8ft to 11.5ft—but the conditions are reported as marginal. The wind stays cross-off, but at that size, the bay is a beast. It’s expert-only territory, and the energy is absolutely massive, hitting 7819 on the 9th. If you’re not a pro, watch from the cliff.
The following week, starting Monday the 14th, we see a drop in size, but a very interesting spike in period. The afternoon of the 14th brings a 3.3ft swell, but with a 23-second period—that’s proper groundswell energy. The energy is 1444, and with a light cross-off wind, it’ll be clean. This is a spot where a long period swell like that can really draw perfect lines down the reef.
The absolute best session of the entire 16-day window, though, is Tuesday the 15th of September. The morning sees a 8.2ft SSW swell with a 17-second period, and the combined energy is a massive 4138. The wind is a light offshore from the SE. This is the one to circle on the calendar. Clean, powerful, and long-period. It’s big, so it’s for the experienced crew only, but if you’re ready for it, it’s going to be a day to remember.

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.
