G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s break down what’s cooking for Fare Left (Tahiti). This is a proper reef break, so keep it for the advanced crew. Water temp is about normal for this time of year, nothing out of the ordinary.
We’re starting off with a flat spell – nothing worth paddling for until Friday morning, July 3rd. That first session hits with a 7ft SSW groundswell, a long 15-second period, and a combined energy of 1689 – that’s a heap of power (moderate wave energy). The wind is a gentle NNE cross-off, so it’ll be clean. But the forecast says marginal surf due to questionable tides. This one’s for experts only at that size. Friday afternoon drops to 6ft, same long-period SSW swell, but the wind goes NNW and turns cross-shore, so expect a bit of cross-chop.
Saturday July 4th and Sunday July 5th are messy. Swell drops from 6ft down to 5ft, but the wind goes cross-on from the NW and then SW, with rain showers and storms. It’s choppy – leave it. Monday July 6th is worse, with swell down to 4ft and moderate S winds giving a lumpy cross-chop.
Tuesday July 7th offers a little hope. Morning brings a clean 4ft SSE swell with an 11-second period and light cross-off winds from the SSE. Combined energy is 671 (moderate). It’s small but clean. Then Tuesday afternoon jumps up to 6ft from the SSE, still 11 seconds, with moderate cross-off breeze – clean, but still only marginal.
Wednesday July 8th morning drops right off to 3ft SSE, energy falling to 214. Not much doing. But Wednesday afternoon throws a weird one – a tiny 2ft SW groundswell with a very long 20-second period, and fresh offshore ENE winds at 18 mph. It’s clean as a whistle but tiny. Energy is 329 (weak).
From Thursday July 9th through Saturday July 12th, we’ve got a run of small but consistently clean conditions. Swell stays under 4ft, mostly from the SW with periods between 12 and 18 seconds. Winds are light to gentle, often cross-off or offshore. Energy is weak to moderate. Surfable and clean.
Now, here’s the standout. Sunday July 12th – this is the best on offer. Morning brings a 4ft SW groundswell with a 17-second period, and combined energy of 763 (moderate). The wind is a gentle offshore from the east, so it’ll be glassy. By the afternoon, it’s 3ft and still clean. This is quality small-wave reef surfing, and you might have some company – crowds are listed as sometimes, so expect a few others out. That long period means the waves will have shape and punch for their size.
Monday July 13th keeps the good run going with 4–4ft SSW swells, 16 seconds, and even lighter winds – nearly glassy by the afternoon with a slight air. Energy up to 974 (moderate). Clean.
Tuesday July 14th sees the swell bump up to 6ft from the SW, but the wind goes cross-shore from the south, and there’s a bit of chop. Still, energy is 1216 (moderate).
Wednesday July 15th is for the big-wave hunters only. Morning has 7ft SSW swell with 13 seconds, but by the afternoon it’s hammering at 10ft from the SW with a 15-second period and combined energy of 3463 – very strong wave energy. Winds are fresh cross-off from the SSE, so it’ll be clean, but this is experts-only. Too big for anyone else.
Thursday July 16th stays big – 8ft SSW, long period, very strong energy (3088 in the morning). But by the afternoon the wind goes cross-shore and it gets lumpy. Friday July 17th still has 7–7ft waves but with strong to near-gale cross-off winds, making it a tricky, blown-out affair.
Saturday July 18th drops back to 6ft from the S, but the wind is a fresh cross-off, energy at 882 (moderate). Clean but not the standout.
So, best of the run is Sunday July 12th, with that clean, long-period SW groundswell and light offshore winds. Next best is Monday July 13th, nearly glassy. The big stuff on July 15th is for experts only. Get on it.
Rusty.

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.
