Alao surf guide

Alao is a surf spot located in American Samoa that offers some decent waves when the conditions are right. It tends to work best with a northwest wind and can handle swell sizes around 3 feet (about 0.9 meters). This spot is well-known among locals and can be a good choice for an intermediate surfer looking for consistent surf. While it might not be the most famous spot around, it can deliver some pleasurable sessions when the swell is coming from the right direction.

This break works best on a north swell, but can also pick up waves from the northwest or northeast. The waves here typically break over live coral, providing a unique surfing experience. Most of the waves are lefts, so if you prefer going that direction, you'll be in luck. For the best conditions, aim for high tide and keep an eye on the wind – northwest winds are your friend here.

Though Alao is primarily suited for intermediate surfers, it's a good idea to scope out the situation and make sure you're comfortable with the conditions. It’s not the most challenging spot, but it can still provide fun rides. Keep an eye on the local surf scene and you might find a few fellow surfers around to share tips and fun vibes.
