Salamumu surf guide

Salamumu is located on the western coast of Upolu, Samoa. It's a quieter spot compared to the more crowded areas on the island. The waves here can vary based on the swell direction, which influences whether you’ll find rights or lefts breaking over the reef. The location is in front of the Sa’Moana Resort, giving it a nice backdrop, and there's also a decent left that peels down the reef near the village.

This spot works best with southeast swells but can handle south-southwest swells too. The optimal wave size is around 2 feet (0.6 meters) but it can handle bigger conditions. The waves break over live coral, so be mindful when you're paddling out. The wave types here are mostly reef breaks, and they tend to run left. For the best conditions, you want the wind from the north and mid to high tide is preferable. It's definitely an intermediate spot, so it's not the best for beginners.

Typically, you'll find mostly surfers from the nearby camp at Salamumu, which helps keep it a bit more relaxed than some of the busier breaks on the island. If you're looking for a place to surf that's not swamped with crowds, this might be a good option.

"Great Forecasts. Nothing more, nothing less."
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"
