The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a yarn about what’s coming down the line for Mo’orea. We’ve got a bit of a quiet start before things start to cook.
The window opens up on the afternoon of Sunday, July 26th. We get a clean 7ft SSW swell with a 13-second period rolling into Temae. The water’s sitting at 80°, which is about average for this time of year. There’s a moderate cross-offshore breeze, so things should be clean enough, but this is an inconsistent, advanced reef break, and the combined energy is solid at 1597 (moderate-strong), so this one is for the crew who know the lineup. It’s a bit of a tease though, because the forecast tells us that Monday and Tuesday are a write-off – poor surf conditions and onshore winds kill it.
We get a glimmer on Wednesday afternoon, July 29th with a cleaner cross-offshore breeze on a 5ft SW swell, and the wave comment says good surf, but it’s not a standout.
Now, pay attention to Thursday morning, July 30th. Temae gets a glassy, offshore start with a 6ft SSW swell at a 12-second period. Bluebird conditions. That’s clean as a whistle and the best morning of the first week. But the afternoon gets wind-affected.
The next real standout is a wait. Friday, August 6th and the Saturday, August 7th period (a week away now) shapes up as the absolute pick of the 16-day run. On Thursday morning the 6th, the wind goes glassy, the 7ft SSW swell (13s) has a combined energy of 1799 (moderate-strong), and the wave comment says it’s excellent for experienced surfers. Thursday afternoon repeats the trick: glassy conditions, 7ft SSW swell, and a combined energy of 2099 (strong). That’s big, clean, and holding. The break handles it best at higher tide.
A word of caution: by Sunday, August 9th into Monday, August 10th, the swell cranks up to 13ft with a 19-second period and a combined energy of 11473 (very strong). That’s a beast. But with tropical storm risk, howling cross-shore wind, and lumpy, messy conditions, it’s a no-go for surfing. That setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
So, overall: a slow start, a Wednesday afternoon to Thursday morning window in late July that needs a sharp eye, but the real gold is the Thursday 6th of August where you get glassy conditions on a solid, clean 6ft+ groundswell. That’s the one to circle.
Stay salty,
Rusty

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.
Temae is 16 km (10 miles) from Faaa. If you plan a holiday in Moorea, look for hotels and other accommodation in Faaa. Faaa has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
