The surfing event takes place in Teahupo’o, a village on the south-west coast of the island of Tahiti, French Polynesia, southern Pacific Ocean. Teahupo'o is a reef break. The swells that hit the reef mainly break left, but the outer reef also creates right breaks that surfers must be cautious of when paddling out.
Teahupoʻo is known for its surf break and resulting heavy, glassy waves, often reaching 2 to 3 m (7 to 10 ft), and sometimes up to 7 m (23 ft).Because of the regularity and size of its waves, it hosts the annual Billabong Pro Teahupoo surf competition (part of the World Championship Tour (WCT) surfing circuit) and the 2024 Olympic surfing competition.
