Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into what’s happening at Teahupo’o.
Right now, the forecast ain’t pretty. For the next week and a half, we’re dealing with a lot of onshore and cross-onshore wind, and the waves are just messy. The wind is blowing from the wrong direction for the most part, and the swell energy is moderate to strong (660 to 3063), but it’s all junk. The water temp is sitting at 80°, which is about normal for this time of year.
It’s not until the back half of the window that things start to turn. The standout by a long shot is Thursday, July 23rd. We’ve got a solid 12ft swell from the SSW, with a nice long period of 16 seconds, and the wind is offshore from the NE. That’s clean, that’s powerful, and that’s proper Teahupo’o. The combined energy is massive (6524 to 7079), so this is expert territory only. The break is very consistent, and it’s a reef setup, so it’ll handle that long-period groundswell perfectly. Keep in mind, crowds are often here, so expect company.
The day before, on Wednesday, July 22nd, is also looking decent with 8ft SSW swell, moderate offshore winds, and clean conditions. That’s a good warm-up for the main event.
After the 23rd, the swell backs off a bit, but the wind stays light on Friday, July 24th morning, with a 10ft SSW swell. Still good for experienced surfers, but the energy drops.
The first week is a total write-off. Don’t even bother until the 22nd. The models are showing a long gap of poor conditions, but once that wind shifts, it’s on.
Stay sharp, and don’t be late for that July 23rd session.
Rusty.

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