Surfing in Tahiti

Teahupoo stands out as Tahiti’s most famous wave, earning recognition as one of the planet’s most formidable surf breaks. This one is strictly for experts, and has claimed lives in the past due to its sheer force and size.

Beginners should fear not though, as Tahiti offers a diverse range of wave setups catering to all skill levels, including beginner-friendly beach breaks scattered along the island’s northern coastline. While many breaks in the Society Islands – encompassing Tahiti, Moorea, and Huahine – are accessible by paddling, it’s important to note that the distance of 15-45 minutes necessitates a certain level of surf fitness.

The ideal surfing period in Tahiti is determined by your desired conditions. From November to April, the summer months bring forth favorable north swells along with steady but smaller south swells. However, this period is marked by frequent rain and high temperatures.

Conversely, during the winter months spanning from May to October, substantial south-west swells inundate the island’s southern reef breaks, including the renowned Teahupo’o. This season features cooler and drier weather conditions.

 

Diving in Tahiti

In the pristine waters of The Islands of Tahiti, over 1,000 diverse fish species thrive, showcasing an unparalleled array of colors, sizes, and forms. Among these, the tiniest fish often boast the most vibrant hues and tend to favor the coral gardens and shallow waters of lagoons. In contrast, larger species find their habitat amidst the dynamic activity of inlets, reef systems, and the expanse of the open sea.

This naturally makes it one of the best places to go diving in the world. Many resorts here offer diving excursions and services, so you can follow guidance from the experts.

The best time to go diving in Tahiti is between April and November. This period tends to be dry and sunny, and ideal for a diving excursion in Tahiti.
