Surfing Highlights
Salani Right
Savai’is’s premier wave will barrel at any size and has a large, clearly defined channel and current to carry you back out to the lineup.
Boulders
One of Samoa’s best known big wave spots, Boulders is a left hand point that breaks off a lava cliff starting with a relatively easy drop followed by a steep wall section, then barrels off down the line, often spitting as it ends – sometimes 150m away.
Tiavea
A large bay located on the NE coast containing 4 separate waves; a big wave right hander off one end, a fast shallow left off the other side, and a nice river mouth in the middle with a wedging right and shorter left. The rivermouth is super fun in the North Pacific Groundswells from October to March.
Salani Left
Salani Left is a long, fast breaking full barrel ride over coral reef/flat rock that gets faster, and hollower as you go down the line. This wave is typically surfed from 2-10ft faces. The wave does not end very close to the channel, so on bigger days getting back out can be a little tricky. Best at medium tide with SE swell.
Waterfalls
Is located on the North Side of the island which is about a 40min – 1hr drive from Apia, the capital. A steep takeoff but if made one of the best barrels you will ever experience extremely hollow at 3ft and you can drive a bus through it at 6ft. Make sure you have a back up board in the car and a camera! This wave is very popular with Body Boarders!
