The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's see what we've got.

Honestly, the first week is a bust. From the start right through until Sunday, September 3rd, there's nothing worth getting wet for. Most mornings have a light offshore breeze, but the waves are tiny or messy. The water's at 58°, which is just normal for the season.

The first real sign of life comes on Thursday morning, September 3rd, at Samoa Peninsula. Swell jumps to about 7ft out of the west-northwest, with an 11-second period. That's a solid push – combined energy reads 1514. The wind is light and cross-onshore, so it's not perfect, but for experienced surfers, there's something to work with. By the afternoon, it gets choppier.

Your best bet is Saturday, September 12th. That morning is glassy – no wind at all. The swell is 3ft from the southwest with a 14-second period. Clean, lined-up groundswell with 461 units of energy. The crowds are listed as "sometimes," so you might have a few buddies out, but with those glassy conditions and that long period, it's going to be smooth. The afternoon is glassy too.

Don't waste your energy on the early stuff. The real session to mark on your calendar is that Saturday the 12th – small, clean, and just about perfect.

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.

Samoa Peninsula is 5 km (3 miles) from Eureka. If you plan a vacation in Humboldt County, look for hotels and other accommodation in Eureka. Eureka has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
