The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a good look at what’s comin’ down the line for the next couple of weeks. We’re talkin’ about Teahupo’o, and the story is pretty clear: hold your horses, because the first few days are a write-off. There’s no surf worth paddlin’ for from the get-go until we hit July 24th. That’s over a week of solid onshore crud and messy conditions where the waves are just blown out and ugly.

The big turn-around looks to be on Thursday, July 24th. That morning is where I’d be circling on the calendar. We’ve got a clean 6 ft SSW groundswell with a period of 14 seconds pushin’ in, and the wind is going moderate offshore out of the NNE. That’s the recipe for that classic, glassy Teahupo’o wall. The combined energy is strong at 1908, so there’s some serious power in the water, but at that size it’s still manageable for the experienced crew. Expect clean, hollow barrels, and because the break is exposed and consistent, the sets will keep comin’. Mind you, it can get busy – crowds are often here – but for the quality on offer, it’s worth it. The water temp is sittin’ around 80°F, which is pretty average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Before that, July 25th offers a slightly smaller pulse – 5 ft SSW – with gentle cross-off winds. It’ll be clean but a fair step down in juice compared to the day before. Still a nice session for anyone who missed the Thursday morning peak.

After that, things drop off quick. By the 26th and 27th, we’re back to small, weak energy with cross-onshore winds, and then we’re into some weird, short-period ESE windswell by the 28th. That’s just not gonna stack up.

So here’s the call: if you want the standout, it’s Thursday morning, July 24th at Teahupo’o – solid SSW groundswell, clean offshore breeze, and the lagoon will be firing. It’s the one window in this whole outlook that’s got the magic.

Rusty, out.

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.
