Right, folks, Rusty here with the lowdown for Tahiti. We’re looking at Teahupo’o for this entire run, so get ready for some heavy water.

The first few days are a bit of a write-off, to be honest. Saturday the 4th is a no-go with fresh cross-off winds and only a marginal surf forecast. We’ve got a solid 6ft SSW swell rolling in, with a very long 15-second period, pushing the combined swell energy to a strong 1478, but that wind just ruins it. The water's sitting at 80°, which is pretty much standard for this time of year.

Now, Sunday the 5th is where the story starts to turn. The morning is absolute glass. That’s the word: glass. The wind drops to nothing out of the NE, and we've got a clean 6ft SSW swell, still holding a quality 13-second period. The wave energy is still moderate at 1020, but with conditions like this, it’s a proper go. This is the standout window for the first week. It’s aimed at the experienced crew though – this is Teahupo’o we're talking about, not a learner wave.

Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th are duds. The wind swings onshore and it gets all chopped up. The swell drops right down too, so we’re looking at a couple of days of nothing worthwhile. That poor run lasts through Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th.

Friday the 10th picks up a bit. The morning is offshore but the swell is tiny at 3ft. The afternoon looks better though, with a moderate 5ft ESE swell and clean offshore winds from the NNE. Worth a look for a late session.

Then we get into the second week. Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th look promising. Light offshore winds and a solid, long-period SSW swell. Sunday morning the 12th is a real highlight: a clean 4ft swell with a 16-second period and gentle offshore wind. The wave energy is strong at 1100. It’s excellent for experienced surfers. Monday the 13th is more of the same – clean, consistent, and powerful.

Tuesday the 14th is a real standout. The morning session offers 7ft of SW swell, a 13-second period, and glassy conditions with a light southerly breeze. That is a recipe for perfection at the wave, but that size is getting into no-go territory for anyone but experts. The energy is pumping at 1816.

From Wednesday the 15th onward, it all goes sideways. A big SSE wind kicks in, blowing cross-onshore and sometimes cross. The swell gets even bigger, hitting 8ft on Wednesday afternoon and 10ft by the final Sunday the 19th, but it’s all messy, lumpy, and blown out. The energy readings are through the roof – into the thousands – but with the wind on it like that, this setup looks much more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

So, to wrap it up: Sunday the 5th morning is your absolute pick for clean, manageable waves, with Tuesday the 14th morning being a heavy call for only the most dialled-in chargers. After that, it’s a long, windy gap all the way to the end of the outlook.

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.

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.
