The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s shaping up for the Samoa Peninsula stretch over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next week or so is a bit of a tough one. The surf is small and the wind is mostly a pain. We’re looking at a lot of onshore and cross-onshore breezes, which is making things messy. The swell coming in is long-period groundswell, which is normally a good thing, but with the wind all over the place, it’s not cleaning up. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing weird there.
The first real chance you’ve got to get wet with something decent is on Monday, August 3rd in the morning. We’ll see a 5ft swell from the west-northwest with a glassy period of 9 seconds. The wind is light and offshore from the north-northwest, so it’ll be clean. The combined energy is moderate (696). That’s your best bet for a surfable session, but it’s still a bit of a gamble with the tide.
After that, the surf actually gets bigger, but it’s not getting better. By Tuesday, August 4th and into the next week, the swell is pushing 7ft to 8ft from the northwest. That’s getting into the too-big-for-beginners range, and the wind is still cross-on. It’s going to be a choppy, bumpy mess. The energy is moderate to strong (812 to 988), but it’s not going to be a fun paddle.
The biggest swell of the period shows up on Sunday, August 9th and Monday, August 10th. We’re looking at 8ft to 10ft from the northwest with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is strong (1193 to 1255). Now, this is serious size, only for the experts. The wind is still coming from the north-northwest, so it’s not perfectly offshore, but it’s onshore and cross-onshore in the afternoons. The mornings might offer a window of cleaner conditions, but it’s a long-range call, so keep your expectations in check.
The one standout? Honestly, the only session that’s really worth getting excited about for the average surfer is Monday, August 3rd morning. It’s the only time the conditions align for a clean, manageable wave. Everything else is a gamble on the wind, or just too big and messy for a good time.
Signing off, Rusty.

Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Samoa Peninsula may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
