The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk in feet and miles per hour. We’re lookin’ at Teahupo’o for the next couple of weeks, and the first few days are a total bust. Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st of July are all rain showers and cross-shore winds hittin’ 18 mph. The ocean is lumpy, and you’re gonna get chewed up. The swell is there, but forget about any quality.
Saturday the 1st of August is more of the same, cross-shore and messy. Water temp is about 79°, which is normal for this time of year.
Now, Sunday the 2nd starts to clean up. Winds go cross-offshore from the east, and we get a 4-foot swell from the SSW with a 15-second period. That’s a proper groundswell, with plenty of energy. It’s still a bit marginal, but it’s gonna be clean.
The real standout, the one you’ve been waitin’ for, is Thursday the 6th of August. That morning, the wind goes glassy from the south, a gentle 3 mph. The swell is 7 feet from the SSW, with a 18-second period. That’s a very long period groundswell, and it’s gonna be unbelievably heavy on that reef. The energy is massive. This is a day for experts only. That wave is gonna be thick, perfect, and deadly. The afternoon picks up to 8 feet, but the wind swings cross-onshore, so the morning is the call. Crowds are often, so be ready for a lineup.
Later in the second week, around the 11th of August, we get a different swell. A 8-foot wave from the ESE with a short 8-second period, but the wind is offshore from the NNE at 18 mph. That’s clean and hollow, but the short period means it’s less forgiving. Still a solid option for the experienced.
The best swell on offer is the morning of Thursday the 6th of August. Glassy, 7 feet, 18-second SSW groundswell at Teahupo’o. That’s the one.

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.
