G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down the upcoming surf at Teahupo’o. We’re looking at a slow start, but the tail end of this 16-day window is where the real action is.

The water temp is just about normal for this time of year, nothing wild. The first few days, through Saturday and Sunday, we’ve got solid SSW swell running 5.6ft to 6.6ft, with a period of 13 to 15 seconds – that’s proper groundswell. Combined wave energy is strong (1625). The wind is cross-off, not terrible, but we’ve got thunderstorms about making it messy. The conditions are labelled clean, but the forecast is low, so it’s a pass. Think of it as the reef warming up.

Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th are a bust. Swell drops to 3.6ft to 4.3ft, wind goes onshore and choppy, and the energy drops below 900 (moderate). The forecast says poor surf conditions – save your energy.

Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th are still marginal. Swell sizes hang around 3ft to 4.9ft. On Thursday the 9th, we get a groundswell with a period of 18 seconds (very long) out of the SSW, but only 3ft of wave height – not enough push for the reef. Wind is cross-off and clean, but the energy is moderate (845). Not worth the long wait.

Now, here’s the turn. Friday the 10th of July, things get interesting. Swell comes up to 5.6ft out of the ESE, with an 8-second period (short period windswell). Not ideal period, but the wind is offshore (NNE at 19 mph) and the early morning is “fresh offshore and clean.” By the afternoon, wind drops to 12 mph and the forecast says “expect very good surf conditions.” The combined energy is moderate (965). Not classic Teahupo’o, but the offshore wind makes it clean and rideable.

Saturday the 11th of July is a standout. Morning has 3.9ft of SW groundswell with a 14-second period, light offshore breeze (NNE at 6 mph), and the afternoon goes glassy (NNW at 3 mph) with 4.3ft SW swell at 13 seconds. The forecast scores are “very good,” and it’s the cleanest, most user-friendly window of the whole period. Crowds are “often,” so expect company. Combined energy is moderate around 909 to 999. This is a solid day.

But the absolute best? Sunday the 12th of July. Morning has 4.3ft SSW groundswell with an 18-second period (very long) and a light offshore NE breeze at 6 mph. By the afternoon, it’s 4.6ft of the same SSW groundswell at 17 seconds, with glassy NE wind at 3 mph. The forecast says “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers,” and the combined energy jumps to 1332 (strong). This is the real deal – long-period groundswell on the reef with perfect wind. At 4.3ft to 4.6ft, it’s manageable for strong intermediates, but it’s still Teahupo’o. The crowd will be there (“often”), but this is the session to plan for. The SSW direction is spot on for the optimum S swell.

Monday the 13th of July is very good too, with similar 4.3ft SSW groundswell, a 16-second period, and moderate offshore NNE wind at 12 mph. Combined energy is strong (1038). A notch down from Sunday, but still a great day.

Tuesday the 14th of July brings a new pulse: 5.9ft SW swell with a 13-second period, cross-off wind from the north. Combined energy is strong (1722). The wind isn’t perfect, but the size is up. The comments say “marginal” but “clean.” A respectable day.

Now, Wednesday the 15th of July. This is big. Swell hits 7.5ft out of the SSW with a 15-second period (very

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.

Teahupoo is 45 km (28 miles) from Punaauia. If you plan a holiday in Tahiti, look for hotels and other accommodation in Punaauia. Punaauia has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
