The Lowdown

Alright, let’s break this down.

We’re looking at Temae (Moorea), and the water’s sitting at 80°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year. No big temperature surprises.

The first real chance to paddle out hits Thursday the 6th. The swell builds to 7ft from the SSW with a long 17-second period, and the wind is light onshore in the morning – only about 6 mph. The wave energy is strong at 2612. You’ll want to watch the tide, but by Thursday afternoon the wind drops to almost nothing (3 mph onshore), and the swell holds at 7ft with a 16-second period. That’s clean, powerful, and a good window for intermediate to advanced surfers. Beginners will find it a bit much at over 5ft.

Friday the 7th is a mess. Swell stays 7ft to 8ft, but the wind turns cross-onshore and picks up, especially in the afternoon with rain. The energy is huge at 2733, but the chop kills it. Saturday the 8th morning is also a no-go with strong onshore wind. But Saturday afternoon? That’s your window. The wind swings to S at 9 mph – cross-offshore – and the 8ft SSW swell cleans right up. The energy is 2193, and it’s described as excellent for experienced surfers. This is the standout. Anything over 8ft with that power is for experts only.

Sunday the 9th gets wild. Swell hits 12ft from the SSW with a 16-second period, and the energy is a massive 6466. But the wind is howling from the SE at 22 mph with rain – it’s a mess. Not for paddle surfing; this looks more like a kite day. Monday the 10th stays rough. Swell drops to 10ft on Monday morning, still too windy.

Tuesday the 11th offers a glimmer. Swell drops to 7ft with a 13-second period, and the wind lightens to a cross-offshore 9 mph from the SSE. The energy is 1597, and the morning is clean. Marginal, but worth a look. The afternoon gets trashed by a 31 mph near gale – stay out.

From Wednesday the 12th through the 14th, it’s mostly a write-off with strong winds and messy seas. The swell stays in the 6ft to 10ft range, but the wind is either onshore or strong cross-shore. There’s a pocket on Thursday the 13th afternoon when the wind goes offshore at 25 mph from the SSW – clean but hard to paddle into.

Friday the 14th afternoon and Saturday the 15th start to settle. Friday afternoon has a 7ft SSE swell with a cross-offshore breeze, clean but with moderate energy at 1510. Saturday the 15th morning has dropped to 5ft from the E with a short 9-second period – not great, but the 19 mph cross-offshore wind keeps it clean. The energy is down to 1020. Saturday afternoon, a 3ft S swell with a 18-second period pops up – long period groundswell, but small and clean. Good for longboards or reef breaks.

The second week, from Sunday the 16th through Tuesday the 18th, is clean but small. Swells between 3ft and 6ft, with periods from 8 to 15 seconds. The wind is cross-offshore, so the conditions are clean, but the energy is low to moderate (under 1100). Not exciting, but there are waves if you’re keen.

Wednesday the 19th and Thursday the 20th look poor again – onshore winds and messy conditions, with swells around 3ft to 5ft. Not worth it.

The standout: Saturday the 8th afternoon. That 8ft SSW swell with cross-offshore wind and clean conditions is your best bet. Thursday the 6th afternoon also deserves a look, with near-calm wind and a solid 7ft groundswell.

Stay safe, pick your tides, and don’t force it on the windy days.

Information about the Temae Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Temae provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Temae can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Temae 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 (Temae) 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 Temae 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.
