Surfing in Samoa
The Country
Samoa has also received quite a bit of exposure as a surf destination over the last couple of years. The jewel in the Polynesian islands crown! One of the most beautiful island nations with a rich warm culture, tall inland peaks, lush jungle, palm fringed golden beaches with crystal clear lagoons.
The Surf
Samoa receives South swell all year round. The winter season sees very consistent south swells with east trade winds, Summer still sees consistent south swells and north swells, and the trade winds switch to a very light northerly direction. These trades all year round generally come up mid/late morning and back off late afternoon.
These swells come from out of deep water and unload on Samoa’s coral reefs- often creating steep take-offs, fast waves and wide-open mind blowing tubes!
A number of breaks are available on North and South coasts of Upolu and Savaii. Most breaks in Samoa are well offshore, some plagued with strong currents and tides and are therefore difficult to access. Staying with a surf resort minimizes the time and hassle in surfing these waves whilst striving to provide safe, fast, guided access to the best waves.
