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.

In July, Maraa in Tahiti offers consistent surf conditions with an average swell height of 2.1m and a solid 13.0s period, ensuring powerful and well-formed waves. The swell predominantly arrives from the SSW, SW, and S directions, with the majority of waves falling in the 1.5-2.5m range—ideal for experienced surfers. The 40% chance of favorable offshore winds enhances rideable conditions, though windier days may see easterly or southeasterly breezes, which can occasionally create chop. The spot’s exposure to south swells and its reef setup make it best suited for confident surfers, with July delivering reliable size and shape. Expect some larger sets (over 2.5m) on peak days, demanding precision but offering high-performance potential. Wind quality is decent but watch for occasional onshore ESE influence. Overall, it’s a strong month for advanced surfers.
