The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – this 16-day run for Samoa Peninsula is a tough one. The wind is stubbornly out of the north, which is cross-onshore for this break, and it's just ruining what could be decent wave energy. The forecast is basically a long, frustrating stretch of poor surf, with a few days that are only barely worth a second look. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so at least the paddle won’t feel weird.

The first real standout is a bit of a conditional one. On Tuesday morning, the 4th of August, we’ve got a north-northwest wind swinging onshore, with a clean 8ft swell from the northwest. The combined energy is moderate, at 970, and while the conditions are still classed as marginal, the light breeze offers the best chance of a clean-ish wave all week. The swell is solid, but with a 9-second period, it’s not a classic groundswell, but there’s enough push to get you into something. Keep an eye on the tide.

Then, we jump to the second week. For the morning of Wednesday, the 12th of August, there’s a window with a very light west-northwest breeze, only 3 mph, and a 6ft swell from the northwest. The energy is weak at 593, and the period is short at 8 seconds, so it’s not going to be a barrel fest, but it’s the cleanest we see in that period. The cross-onshore wind is barely there, so it might be okay for a quick paddle.

There’s a three-day gap with no real recommendations from the 14th to the 16th. The swell hangs around, but the wind turns into a moderate north breeze, creating choppy, messy conditions. The morning of Sunday, the 16th, has a 5ft swell and a light breeze, but it’s still classed as poor. Honestly, the whole setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer through most of this run.

Rusty.

Information about the Samoa Peninsula Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Samoa Peninsula provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Samoa Peninsula can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Samoa Peninsula surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Samoa Peninsula) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
