The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's coming up for the Samoa Peninsula over the next couple of weeks.
Right now, we are in a bit of a slow patch. The first few days are pretty lackluster, with small, weak swell and messy wind. It's not until the morning of Thursday, the 3rd of September, that things start to get interesting.
That Thursday morning is the clear standout for this whole forecast. The swell is coming from the WNW at about 6ft, which is a decent size for an intermediate surfer, and the period is a nice 9 seconds. The wind goes glassy with a light NW breeze, so the surface will be clean. The combined energy is strong (807). This is a great window. By the afternoon, the wind swings onshore though, so get on it early.
The energy builds further into Friday the 4th, with the swell hitting 6ft from the NW and the combined energy jumping up to a strong 1075. But the wind is onshore or cross-onshore all day, so the quality won't be what it was on Thursday morning. It's a lot of water moving around but choppy conditions will ruin it.
After that, the swell drops back down over the weekend and into the start of the following week. You get some small, glassy conditions on Monday the 7th, but the swell is tiny at about 2ft.
Then we see a bit more size again around the 10th and 11th of September, with waves in the 5ft to 6ft range from the WNW. But it's all onshore wind from the north, so it's going to be choppy and messy. Not worth paddling out for.
Looking further out to the 12th and 13th of September, the swell picks up again, hitting 7ft from the NW on the 12th. That's getting into expert-only territory, and with a short period of 8 seconds and cross-onshore wind, the quality is still marginal. There is potential, but it's a long-range call and less certain.
Overall, your best bet is to pencil in Thursday morning, the 3rd of September. That's the one session where the conditions align for a really good wave.
