The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you, it's a bit of a slow start, but there's a little light at the end of the tunnel.

So, looking at the whole 16-day window, the first week is pretty much a write-off for any decent waves. We're looking at a solid stretch from the 22nd of August right through to the 5th of September where the scores are just not there. The swell is small, the wind is coming from the wrong direction, and it's just messy. You'll see a few days with a bit of energy in the water, but it's all cross-onshore or straight onshore, chopping up whatever tiny waves there are. It's a real bummer.

Now, let's talk about the standout. The only time this whole forecast gets a pulse is around the 6th of September. That Saturday morning, the Samoa Peninsula is looking at a solid 8ft swell from the NW, with a period of 11 seconds. That's proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy reading is a whopping 1728, which is massive. That's a lot of power in the water. This is going to be a big, powerful wave. But, and this is a big but, the wind is cross-onshore at 12 mph, so it's going to be choppy. The afternoon gets even bigger, hitting 8ft from the NW, but the wind picks up to 16 mph, making it messy. This swell is going to be well over 8ft by the afternoon, which is expert territory, and the short period of 8 seconds on the afternoon session means it won't be holding its shape as well as the morning. For a beach break like Samoa, that long period (11s) might make it a bit too straight, but it'll still have some grunt. For the average punter, the morning might be a bit much, but for the experienced crew, it's the only real window of opportunity in the whole 16 days. The water temp is sitting around 57° which is about normal for this time of year, so nothing too wild there.

The rest of the second week, from the 1st to the 5th, is still just poor surf. There's energy in the water, but the wind is always ruining it. It's a long, dry spell. Honestly, for a spot that's fairly consistent, this is a frustrating run. It tends not to stay this bad for long, so keep an eye on the forecasts, but for now, don't bother waxing up.

Rusty.

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.
