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.

Wind certainty

Wind certainty tells you how much the weather models agree on the forecast.

  • High certainty: Models agree closely; forecast is reliable.
  • Medium certainty: Some disagreement; conditions may shift slightly.
  • Low certainty: Models diverge; treat forecast with caution.

We calculate this by comparing wind speed, gust and direction from multiple models (like GFS, ECMWF, Arome, and Harmonie) and seeing how closely they match. They are weighted, meaning that some models count more than others, depending on how good they are for a certain spot.

Forecast Cheat Sheet

Short on time? Focus on wave energy. It’s the best single metric to gauge how big and powerful the waves will be.

Click any table cell to jump to that forecast hour. The map will update with forecast arrows, so you can see if wind and swell direction are lining up.

Use the table sidebar to switch units for height and speed.

Log your surf sessions to compare forecasts with real sessions and sharpen future predictions.

On the map, click a metric label to bring that arrow to the front — handy when arrows overlap.

Models and Updates

Surfnerd blends multiple global and local wind and swell models using advanced interpolation and spatial techniques to create an "ensemble" forecast. Forecasts are refreshed hourly.

Surf Predictions

Our AI-driven algorithm scores surf quality, shown by green, orange, and gray dots. Each forecast hour is rated for wind, swell, and tide quality, then combined into an overall score. Here’s the scale:

Perfect
Good
Average
Bad or No Data

Session logs also feed the algorithm — the more you log, the smarter your forecasts get.

With Surfnerd, no more "you should have been here yesterday"
