THE SURF

Waves
Tuamotu swells come from the North in the Northern Hemisphere winter and the Southern Ocean in the Southern Hemisphere winter plus a combo period in-between - March/ April. The wave sizes tend to range from 3ft to 8 ft with the point break style waves rather than the fringing reef waves of Tahiti that tend to jack up quickly and crash down heavily.

The left breaks are situated further East along the chain and tend to break from March April through as they depend on South swells from Southern Ocean low pressure systems. December/Jan/ March as the North swells can be really consistent. We always try to find you the best available waves and we will sometimes fly you to different islands at the last minute to meet the boat and perhaps get on a swell coming from a different direction.

There are also regional swell influences like localized low pressure systems and swell refractions which at time only the Surflodge’s Surf guide understand as they have about 5 years under their belts in this region. TEAHUPOO Surf Lodge has his own surf charter boat which is still generally the only in this region with the odd other boat showing up sometimes. We can't guarantee you will be the only guys out but most of the time you will have it to yourself.

The break at Teahupoo is in season from May until August but is not always huge - just like Pipeline its not always on but is still a nice wave. Most of the breaks around Teahupoo are quite accesible to all levels and abilities.


Winds
The winds tend to blow fairly steady with the atolls bending them around to offshore near the land. There are still days as well and the winds do tend to pick up in the afternoon. The offshore breeze gives you that rush as you surf down the face. Kite Surfing is the hidden treasure here. There are tons of beaches and protected bays to launch in - and then the place is litterally your oyster...whatever conditions you want - you can find it here.

THE LOCATION

TAHITI:
Tahiti – Moorea – Bora Bora – island names that evoke a wonderful state of mind, seducing honeymooners, romantics, adventurers, and vacationers looking for escape.

Here, around these South Seas isles, a romantic sunset sea sends giant curls of turquoise breaking onto the colorful reefs that protect the tranquil lagoons of warm, bright-emerald waters and white coral-sand beaches.

The three archipelagos most sought by visitors are the Society Islands, comprised of Tahiti, Moorea, Bora Bora, Huahine, Raiatea and Taha'a; The Tuamotu Atolls or "Tahiti's Strand of Pearls", include the atolls of Rangiroa, Manihi, Tikehau, and Fakarava; and the Marquesas, or "The Mysterious Islands."

The Tuamotus are a chain of atolls in French Polynesia and the largest chain of atolls in the world, spanning an area of the Pacific Ocean roughly the size of Western Europe.
The Tuamotus is really a unique environment as most of the atolls are no more than a meter or so above sea level. These places are seriously threatened by global warming. There is no commercial fishing in these waters and due to the very sparse population there is abundant sea life. SO the fishing is great. . Generally now you can bring at least 3 boards in one bag.
