Conditions at Teahupoo in January
January: Summer Groundswell and Clean Windows
January sits in the low-energy shoulder of the South Pacific year, with an average swell of 5.6ft (1.7m), a period near 11.8s and ideal offshore winds 36% of the time. The wave rose is spread widely across ESE, SE, SSE and S, so plenty of medium-range energy wraps into the bay, but the direct S/SSW contribution is still only around 19% of the total. When a true S/SSW groundswell does align, the reef sees solid 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) peaks with enough punch to hold its shape. The wind regime is dominated by easterly trades, but lighter N/NE offshore windows show up often enough to keep the lineup interesting. With air temperatures near 26.9°C, water temperature at 28.1°C and 6.46 mm/day of rain, this is classic humid, tropical surf weather.
