Alright, let’s run that again in feet and Fahrenheit.

So the whole 16-day stretch starts slow – most days have that onshore wind messing things up. Only a few windows look worth paddling out.

Teahupo’o is the only spot in the mix. It’s a world-class reef, breaks pretty much all the time, and loves swell from the south. Water temp’s about 80°, right where it should be for this time of year.

That first Saturday, July 11th morning, we get a clean 3ft south-west swell with a 13-second period, and the wind’s offshore from the west. Swell energy is moderate (683). Not huge, but clean. Afternoon though, the wind shifts onshore and it turns ugly. Sunday July 12th bumps up to 6ft south-west swell, but onshore wind and chop ruin it.

Monday July 13th morning, still onshore, but the swell builds to 6ft from the south-west, 13-second period. Marginal. Afternoon hits 8ft from the south-southwest – solid size, but wind’s onshore and quality is poor.

Here’s the one to circle: Monday July 20th morning. We’ve got a super long-period south-southwest groundswell – 20 seconds! That’s real long. Swell sits around 6ft to 6ft, with light east cross-off wind keeping things glassy. Combined energy is strong (2973). This is the best of the whole window. The long period means wide-set, heavy waves. At Teahupo’o, that’s serious. Crowds will be likely, so get there early.

Tuesday July 21st and Wednesday July 22nd mornings also have clean cross-off wind and similar south-southwest swell, around 6ft to 7ft, with 15 to 16-second periods. Good energy.

Later up, Thursday July 24th afternoon shows a 10ft south swell with cross-off east wind, but that’s deep in the second week – promising but less certain.

Best bet: Monday July 20th morning. That 20-second groundswell and clean conditions are the standout. Tuesday and Wednesday are solid backups. The early part of the window is mostly a no-go due to wind. Crowds at Teahupo’o are often heavy, so plan accordingly.

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.
