Surfing in Samoa is amongst the most challenging in the South Pacific. Treacherous shallow reef breaks make this the complete thrill / risk experience for the most adventurous surfers.

Both Upolu and Savaii have some excellent surfing in both winter and summer. Winter surfing is generally more reliable (May to Oct) with southern swells hitting the south coast of Upolu and Savaii. A few of the best sites include Boulders and Nu'usafe'e Island on the south coast of Upolu (access by boat), Aganoa Beach on the south east tip of Savaii, Satuiatua Beach Fales on southern Savaii (accessible from beach) and the summer surf at Fagamalo on northern Savaii. It is customary to pay a ST$5 per day surfing right to the local villages.

Sa'moana Resort on south western Upolu caters almost exclusively to surfers and offers either deluxe bungalows or a shared bungalow for more budget minded surfers. However, it's almost a 2 hour car / boat trip to the best surfing breaks of Boulders, Coconuts and Nuusafee Island which means getting up at 4am. The best location is to stay at either the upmarket Coconuts Beach Resort, or the budget Maninoa Beach Fales which share the same beach and from where surfers can paddle out to Coconuts break at will - its also only a 10 minute boat ride from here to Boulders and 20 minutes to Nuusafee Island.

There are no surf shops in Samoa so you will need to bring your own boards and equipment.
