Surf Report — Teahupo'o, Tahiti

Is it worth a session at Teahupo'o, Tahiti?

At 2.6 m it's big — big and serious — experienced surfers only, and respect the conditions. The swell period is long, so that energy is well-organised, cleaner-breaking and more powerful than the height alone suggests. This is the open-sea figure — the wave that actually breaks at a given peak depends on the spot's shape and the state of the tide, so treat it as a steer, not a promise. The water is 27°C — balmy.
