The Lowdown
Hey, it’s Rusty. Let’s be real with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak for a proper surf. We’ve got a lot of onshore and cross-onshore wind stirring up the surface. There is some swell, but it’s going to be messy, and you’ll be fighting the chop more than riding the waves. It’s one of those periods where it just doesn't line up.
The only option on the map for Samoa Peninsula is a tiny window early Thursday morning, the 10th. We’ve got a pulse from the southwest with a long-period groundswell, running about 2ft with a 17-second interval. The energy is moderate, so there’s some push to it. The water temp is around 58°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
But, the wind is light and onshore, and the call is "marginal surf forecast." It’s a long shot, but it might be your only chance to catch a clean-ish wave. If you’re really desperate, that’s your window. After that, it’s a flat-out wall of poor conditions.
From Thursday afternoon onward, we’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf quality. The wind stays onshore and choppy, just ruining any potential. Then, around the 22nd and 23rd, we see a real pulse of northwest energy, with swell heights hitting 7ft to 8ft and energy levels getting strong. But the wind is howling from the north at 19 mph to 25 mph, making it a total mess. For a beach break, that’s not surfable; it’s just a washing machine. If you have a kite, this might be more your scene, but for a paddle board, it’s a hard pass.
So, there’s one, very marginal, maybe-option on Thursday morning the 10th. Otherwise, we wait. The combination of bad winds and short-period swell is going to keep things poor for a while. It’s a disappointing forecast, but it’s what we’ve got. Things can always change, but right now this looks like a real dry spell.
Keep your head up and your board ready.
Rusty.
