The Lowdown
Alright, let’s check out what’s cookin’ for the Samoa Peninsula. Honestly, it’s a slow start, and I mean slow. From Tuesday the 25th of August, the swell is tiny and the wind is blowing cross-on or onshore, leaving the surf flat and ugly. That lasts pretty much all the way through the end of the month and into the first days of September. The water temp is 58°F, right where it should be for the season – nothing to write home about.
The first real sign of life comes on Saturday, September 5th. The morning is still a bit iffy with a 5ft swell from the NW, a short period of 7 seconds, and the energy is moderate at 443. But the afternoon? That’s the one. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, and the swell bumps up to 6ft from the NW. The energy hits 517 (moderate). The waves will be clean and tidy, but with that short period, they’ll be a bit close together and not the most powerful. It’s a good window for beginners, but 6ft is pushing the upper limit for a learner.
Then Sunday, September 6th, the afternoon again goes glassy – this time with a light offshore breeze from the west. The swell is a solid 7ft from the NW, period 8 seconds, and the energy is 665 (moderate). That’s a bigger wave, cleaner than the morning, and the offshore wind will keep the faces smooth. For intermediates, it’s a fun size, but beginners might want to sit this one out – 7ft is getting into the more challenging zone.
The Samoa Peninsula is a fairly exposed spot, and the optimum swell direction is NW, which is exactly what we’re getting. Crowds are listed as “sometimes,” so you might see a few others, but it’s not going to be a zoo. The consistency is “fairly consistent,” so you’ll get plenty of waves.
After those two afternoons, the wind gets messy again and the swell backs off, so Saturday and Sunday are your clear winners. For the rest of the 16 days, it’s pretty grim – this is more of a kite-surfing window with the cross-on winds and modest swell, not a quality paddle-surfing one.

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.

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.
