The Lowdown
Alright, crew, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
We’ve got a solid run of south-southwest groundswell heading for the reef, and the early part of the week is looking like the winner. Water’s at 79°F, about average for the season.
Sunday starts clean with 4ft of 15-second swell and light cross-off winds. The energy’s moderate, but it’s smooth. It gets a bit better in the afternoon as the energy picks up.
Monday’s a bit smaller and the wind freshens, so it’s just okay.
Tuesday is where it’s at. The wind goes offshore, light in the afternoon, swell bumps to 4ft with a 14-second period. Clean, offshore, and cranking. This is a top window.
Wednesday morning is similar, but the real gem is the afternoon – 2ft of swell with a 20-second period and light offshore wind. That’s a long-period groundswell, and on this reef, it’ll be perfect. High quality.
Thursday the size jumps. Morning is 6ft, afternoon 7ft, both with long periods and light winds. Energy is strong. This is big, heavy Teahupo’o – experts only.
Friday and Saturday get even bigger, pushing 8ft to 10ft, with energy going through the roof. Winds are stronger but still cross-off. This is serious, heavy water.
Sunday holds at 10ft with strong energy. Not for the faint-hearted.
After that, it settles a bit. Monday holds 8ft, but the wind is up. Tuesday is clean again with 7ft and lighter winds, a good window for the brave.
The middle of next week sees the swell drop to 5ft or less, but the wind goes bad, turning it messy. By Thursday, it’s blown out.
The tail end, around the 17th, shows a bit of recovery with a 6ft SE swell and light cross-off winds, but the period is shorter and the quality isn’t the same.
So, the standouts are Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday afternoon – clean, offshore, with good energy and that long-period push. The big days from Thursday through Sunday are for the elite only. After that, it’s a waiting game.
Stay safe.
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.
