About Mauritius Tamarin
Known for kitesurfing and windsurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces W, so wind from the E blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 26°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A spot for kitesurfing and windsurfing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing W. Wind from the W blows onshore, wind from the E blows out to sea, and wind from the N or S runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea floor shelves very steeply: 10 m deep about 50 m out (1 in 6). The sea is about 24°C in July, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 28°C in January, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Tamarin. Within 5 km we also list 4 surf spots, 1 wind sports spot and 4 dive sites.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
