About This Break
The heaviest wave in the world — a thick, below-sea-level left slab breaking onto razor-sharp Tahitian reef. Teahupo'o is an advanced-level left-hand reef break in French Polynesia, delivering world-class waves for experienced surfers and confident chargers. It is most consistent from April to October (south swells). Best on a mid-to-high tide. Breaks over shallow coral or rock reef — booties are recommended and mind the take-off zone. International Surf Properties connects you with houses, villas and land for sale near Teahupo'o and across French Polynesia — your gateway to life beside the wave.
