Tamarin Bay
Tamarin, Mauritius
🪸Sharp reef👥Crowded
Tamarin Bay is Mauritius' original claim to surf fame—a classic left reef break featured in The Endless Summer that first put the island on the surfing map. The wave peels along a coral reef in a stunning bay setting, with dolphins regularly joining surfers in the lineup. When SW swells hit during winter (May-September), Tamarin delivers long, workable rides in warm, tropical water. The magic captured on film decades ago still exists today.
