The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya from the shores of Tahiti. Let's get into it.

We're looking at a solid run of surf ahead, but with a few tricky patches. The main event is Teahupo’o, and it's gonna be a wild ride, so let's break it down day by day.

The first few days are a bit of a write-off with onshore winds messing things up. We've got a bit of a swell building on Saturday, July 25th, with 5ft to 7ft SW swell, but that SSW wind is blowing straight on. The energy is there, with a combined energy of 1039, but it's not gonna be clean. Sunday, July 26th, is more of the same, with 7ft to 8ft SSW swell, but still onshore. It's a frustrating start.

Then, things flip on Monday, July 27th. The wind swings around to the NE, blowing offshore at 12 mph. That's the key. We get a 6ft SSW swell, with a period of 12 seconds, and the combined energy is a muscular 860. The morning will be clean, and the description says "expect very good surf conditions." This is a real chance to get some proper waves at Teahupo’o.

Tuesday, July 28th, is a little smaller but still clean. The morning has a 4ft SSW swell with offshore NE wind. The afternoon sees a drop in size but a spike in period to 16 seconds with a 3ft SW swell. The combined energy is 587, and it's clean. It's a day for a smaller board, maybe.

Now, Wednesday, July 29th, is where things get serious. The morning delivers a 6ft SW swell with a 12-second period, and the wind is offshore from the N at 12 mph. The combined energy jumps to 1329. The forecast says "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers." The afternoon is just as good, with the same 6ft SW swell, a light cross-offshore breeze, and energy of 1422. This is a standout day. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, which is standard for this place.

Thursday, July 30th, the wind shifts back onshore, making a mess of the 6ft to 7ft SW swell. The quality drops off a cliff. Friday, July 31st, through to Sunday, August 2nd, is a total washout. We've got a persistent SE wind, strong cross-shore at 19 mph, with lumpy, choppy conditions. The combined energy is still there, but the quality is poor. The swell hangs around 4ft to 4ft, but it's not worth paddling out.

Just when you think it's over, we get another window. The morning of Friday, August 7th, sees a 4ft SW swell with a very long 16-second period and offshore wind from the NE. The combined energy is 951. The afternoon is even better, with a 4ft SSW swell, also 16-second period, and a clean offshore breeze. The energy jumps to 1141, and the forecast calls for "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers." This is the second standout, but it's a full week away, so keep an eye on it.

The weekend of August 8th and 9th looks like it'll be a mess again with onshore winds. So, the two true standouts are the morning of Wednesday, July 29th, and the afternoon of Friday, August 7th. For Wednesday, get on the 6ft SW swell with offshore wind. For Friday next week, it's the 4ft SSW swell with that long period and clean wind. Both are for the experienced crew only.

Rusty, signing off.

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.
