The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
The next 16 days for the Samoa Peninsula are a bit of a rollercoaster. There’s swell, but it’s often fighting with the wind, so you’ll have to be patient.
The first real chance comes Monday morning, August 10th. There’s a solid 7ft NW swell rolling in with an 8-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 715. The wind is light and from the NNW, which is offshore for this spot, making for clean, glassy waves. This is a good option for an intermediate surfer. The water temperature is about normal for the time of year.
Monday afternoon, the swell bumps up to 8ft from the NW, but the wind shifts to a light cross-on. The energy climbs to 863, but that breeze will put a bit of texture on the face.
Tuesday, August 11th, is similar. Morning offers a 7ft NW swell with offshore NNW winds. The afternoon brings a bigger 8ft NW swell (907 energy), but the wind goes cross-on again.
Wednesday the 12th gets messy with cross-on winds and choppy conditions. Not the best.
From Friday the 14th through the weekend, the swell drops off significantly to under 5ft, with weak, onshore winds. The energy falls below 400. It’s pretty flat and poor.
The real standout is Thursday, August 20th. The swell builds back to 7ft from the NW, with a longer 10-second period. The wind is offshore from the NNW and light. The combined energy hits a solid 883. This is your best window for clean, decent-sized waves. The afternoon holds at 6ft with 742 energy and still offshore.
After that, the swell fades again for the last few days of the forecast, with small, long-period SW swells that just don’t have the juice.
Target the mornings, especially Thursday, August 20th. That’s the pick of the run.
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.

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.
