Rusty here again, this time in feet and miles.
So, for Teahupo’o (Tahiti), it’s a tough watch for a while. The swell’s coming from the wrong way for this wave, and the wind is onshore. Water’s about 80°F, normal for the season.
First decent chance is Thursday, July 9. We get a long-period groundswell from the SSW, 18 seconds, with clean cross-offshore wind from the east at 22 mph. Swell height is only around 3 ft, but that long period gives it some bite. Energy is moderate.
The real standout is Friday morning, July 10. Offshore wind from the NNE at 22 mph, clean as a whistle. Swell is around 3 ft from the SSW, 16-second period. It’s small, but those offshore winds will make the wave face glassy. It’s your best early call.
After that, it goes messy again with building swell and bad wind. By Wednesday, July 15, the swell hits 10 ft, but it’s blown out with onshore winds. Not worth it.
Look ahead to Monday, July 20. Swell around 7 ft from the SSE, 13-second period, with cross-offshore wind from the east at 16 mph. Clean conditions, very strong wave energy. That’s the big one to aim for, but it’s for experts only, and we’re talking over a week out, so keep an eye on it.
Bottom line: a lot of noise, but Friday July 10 and Monday July 20 are your windows.
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.
