Maraa - surf spot statistics

Maraa in Tahiti offers consistent surf conditions year-round, thanks to its high ground swell dominance, which rarely drops below 75% of total swell activity. The best months for surfing are from March to June, when ground swells peak above 89%, swell heights average 1.7m to 2.2m, and wind conditions are most favorable. March stands out with 90% ground swell, 56% good wind conditions, and a mean swell size of 1.7m, making it one of the most reliable months. April and May continue with strong ground swells (89%) and decent wind conditions (54% and 46% respectively), while June delivers the largest waves (2.2m) though with slightly less favorable winds (42% good conditions). The winter months (July to September) see larger swells but suffer from weaker wind conditions, dropping to just 40-41% favorable winds, which can make sessions inconsistent. October to December marks a transitional period, with ground swells remaining solid (75-83%) and wind conditions improving slightly toward the end of the year. While Maraa rarely experiences flat spells (0% no swell), the ideal balance of powerful, clean ground swells and offshore winds is most reliably found in the March-June window. Advanced surfers will appreciate the larger, cleaner waves during these months, though the spot remains surfable year-round for those willing to compromise on wind quality.
