Alright, Rusty here again, looking at what’s happening at Teahupo’o. This is a reef break that needs the right direction, and we’ve got a fair bit of swell coming, though not all of it will be clean. Water temp is about 81°, normal for this time of year.
We start off Friday morning, July 3rd. There’s a 7ft SSW groundswell with a 15-second period, packing a lot of energy. The wind is offshore from the NE at 15 mph, so it’ll be clean and heavy. That’s the pick of the run – expert territory. Friday afternoon stays similar with rain, but the offshore wind holds.
Saturday the 4th has 7ft and 6ft SSW swell, but the wind goes cross-off from the NNW and NW, so it’s not as perfect. Still surfable. Sunday the 5th drops to 6ft with cross and cross-on wind, getting choppy. Monday and Tuesday the 6th and 7th are cross-on with S and SSE winds – poor quality.
Midweek on the 8th, swell drops to 5ft from the SE with cross winds – marginal. Thursday the 9th has a small 3ft, 18-second groundswell, but cross-off wind keeps it clean, just small. Friday the 10th has 3ft from the WSW with a strong offshore breeze at 18 mph – clean little waves.
The weekend of the 11th and 12th is better. Saturday the 11th has 4ft SW swell with a gentle offshore, and Sunday the 12th brings 4ft SSW swell with a long 17-second period and light offshore winds. That Sunday morning is the second standout – clean and lined up. Monday the 13th still holds at 4ft to 5ft with offshore winds.
Tuesday the 14th gets bigger, 6ft to 7ft, but the wind goes cross and then onshore, turning messy. From Wednesday the 15th through Saturday the 18th, a big pulse hits 10ft to 13ft from the S and SSE, but with cross-on and cross winds blowing 18 to 25 mph, it’s just a big, lumpy mess. Too big and blown for paddle surfing – that’s kite surfing territory.
So, your best bets: Friday morning July 3rd and Sunday morning July 12th. The rest is either small and clean or big and ugly.
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.
