The Lowdown

Righto, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

First up, we’re looking at Teahupo’o. The water’s sitting at 79°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.

The early part of the week is a bit of a write-off. Sunday and Monday are offering small, weak swell with only marginal conditions, so not worth getting excited about. The real action starts to build from Tuesday, the 4th of August. Tuesday morning sees a clean 5ft easterly swell with a short period of 8 seconds, but it’s the offshore wind that’s the real winner here – glassy and clean. The afternoon steps it up a notch: a 4ft SSW groundswell with a 14-second period, clean offshore breezes, and solid wave energy (1025). That’s the session for experienced surfers, no doubt.

Wednesday, the 5th, keeps the quality high. Morning offshore winds, 4ft SSW swell at 13 seconds, and plenty of energy (1039). Afternoon drops to 2ft but the period jumps to 19 seconds – that’s very long period groundswell, which at a reef like Teahupo’o will produce some beautiful, lined-up waves. Clean and glassy.

Thursday, the 6th, is the standout. Morning brings a 7ft SSW groundswell with a 17-second period, light offshore winds, and massive energy (2559). This is the kind of day that makes you want to drop everything. It’s a big swell though – over 5ft – so it’s for the experienced crew only. The afternoon stays similar in size but the wind swings cross-on, so the morning is the pick.

After that, things get messy. Friday the 7th still has 7ft to 8ft SSW swell, but cross-shore winds and rain showers spoil the party. Saturday the 8th sees the swell jump to 10ft to 12ft, but the wind is all over the place, creating chop and lumpy conditions. By Sunday the 9th, the swell is 10ft to 12ft, but winds are fresh and cross-shore, making it a real battle.

From Monday the 10th onwards, the swell stays big – 8ft to 13ft – but the wind direction turns east-southeast and southeast, bringing strong cross-shore and cross-on winds, heavy rain, and poor surf quality. This is more of a kite-surfing scene than a paddle-surfing one. The energy readings are huge (over 4000 at times), but the conditions are just too messy for a good wave.

The real highlight is definitely Thursday morning, the 6th of August. That 7ft SSW groundswell with 17-second period, light offshore winds, and clean surf is the best on offer. Get on it if you can.

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.
