Salailua surf guide

Salailua is a popular surf spot located in Samoa, known for its consistent waves and beautiful surroundings. This place attracts surfers looking for a fun session in a laid-back atmosphere. The scenery around Salailua is pretty picturesque, making it a nice spot to chill and wait for the right wave.

The waves here break both ways, but the lefts are a bit more favorable, especially when the swell comes from the south. It works best for swells from the southeast and southwest, so keep an eye on the conditions. You can catch decent waves in the head-high range and even smaller ones at around 2 feet (0.6 meters) with good form. The break is over live coral, so be careful while paddling out. For the best experience, you’ll want to surf during low to mid tides. Winds coming from the northeast work well here, which helps keep the sessions enjoyable.

This spot is generally fun and suitable for intermediate surfers looking to improve their skills. If you're around Satuiatua, check it out, as there are more waves in that area worth exploring. Salailua’s mellow vibe, coupled with its manageable walls, makes it a solid choice for a surf trip.
