- Overview
Tahiti
Tahiti is a destination that evokes daydreams of magnificent volcanic peaks dropping into aqua lagoons filled with amazing reefs and sealife. Renowned for it’s luxurious overwater bungalows, Tahiti is perfect for romance and relaxation; or you may prefer more basic accommodation for a surfing adventure with your mates.
Tahiti and her islands cover 2,000,000 square miles of the South Pacific and is made up of 118 islands in 5 great archipelagos. The most sought after islands for a surf trip are Tahiti (the main island), Moorea, Huahine, and the Tuamotus.
Tahiti is best known for it’s amazing diving, snorkeling and surfing. The islands are so unspoilt and well preserved they are thriving with marine life such as giant manta rays, and hundreds of different species of fish and coral. And you will have undoubtedly heard before of one of Tahiti's greatest waves - Teahupoo. It can only be described as a monster of a wave, and attracts the most serious of surfers wanting to test their skills. There are however many other waves to choose from suitable for all standards.- Surf Breaks
Tahiti
Teahupoo is Tahiti’s best known wave. Not for the faint-hearted, this wave has been called by some as the ‘heaviest wave in the world’. Despite this, not all waves in the area are of this magnitude. There are waves around Tahiti to suit all levels. There are beach breaks scattered along the north coast of Tahiti that are perfect for beginners.
Most of the breaks in the Society Islands (Tahiti, Moorea, Huahine..) can be paddled to, however can take between 15-45 mins to get to them.
There are several other excellent breaks off the north coast at Matavai Point and Point Venus and the south coast at Papara and Fishermans Point. Surfing is also good on the north coast of Moorea and off Haapiti on the west coast of Moorea. Huahine is the new up-and-coming surf spot with several consistent breaks off Fare Town on the west coast. All breaks are accessible from the coast but are reef or passage breaks which require experience and nerve.
The Tuamotu Islands can be quite fickle and may only be surfable a few months out of each year. To take advantage of being able to surf almost every day you are better off sticking to Tahiti or Moorea where there is a higher density of surf spots.
- Season & Weather
Tahiti Marine Tropical is the best way to define the weather in Polynesia with an average temperature of 26’C and humidity at approximately 75%.
Due to the trade winds that sweep across the equatorial zone there is two distinct seasons, the “Dry Season” and the “Humid Season”
Dry Season or “Austral Winter” which runs from April to October brings a refreshing coolness to the islands with July and August being the coolest. This is brought on by the southeast trade winds (Maraamu). Humid Season also commonly known as rainy season is from November
and finishes up in March. During this time of year it is muggy, humid and rains are more frequent than in the Dry Season.
There are two surf seasons in Tahiti and these are from November to March (summer) and April to October (winter). The swells from the north come during the summer season and are often 8ft when Hawaii is 15ft. Winter swell is generated from big southerly storms from Antarctica and New Zealand and there are some spots that can handle all swells. May to October is generally the best time for swell.
