The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaking over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a waiting game. The first few days aren’t much to write home about, with a lot of cross-shore winds and a lumpy, messy ocean. The real story starts to build from the middle of the month, and it’s a good one for those who can handle a bit of size.
The standout window is shaping up to be around the 20th and 21st of July. We’re looking at a solid pulse of SSW groundswell, with a really long period of 23 seconds on the 20th morning. That’s proper energy, with the combined energy reading 2671 (moderate to strong). The wave height is around 4 ft, but that long period will make it feel bigger and more powerful, especially at a reef like Fare Left (Tahiti). The wind is cross-offshore, keeping things clean. This is where the magic lives. The water temperature is a balmy 81°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The following day, the 21st, the swell picks up a bit more height to 8 ft, with a period of 18 seconds, and the energy jumps to 3952. That’s a serious amount of juice. The wind stays cross-off, so the lines will be good, but at 8 ft, this is expert territory only. The crowd factor is "sometimes" here, so don’t expect to have it to yourself, but for a wave of this quality, it’s worth the company.
Later in the week, around the 23rd, you get a proper offshore wind, but it’s a strong breeze at 25 mph. That’s clean, but it’ll be a battle to get out and hold your position. The swell is still there, 8 ft from the SSW, but it’s a fight.
After that, the energy drops right off. From the 25th onwards, the swell fades to under 4 ft, and by the end of the month, the combined energy is down in the 300-400 range, which is weak. The wind also gets up to near gale force, so it’s pretty much a write-off for surfing. You’d be better off looking for a kite.
So, the plan is simple: Wait for the 20th and 21st. That’s your best shot.

Information about the Fare Left Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Fare Left provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Fare Left can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Fare Left 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 (Fare Left) 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 Fare Left 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.
