Salani Right surf guide

Surf: Salani Village has a long established surf resort thanks to the top drawer rides on either side of the channel. Salani Rights will consistently barrel and fizz along the reef edge in any S swell and hopefully any N wind. More E in the swell will split the line-up with shorter, bowly hooks arriving from deep and shifting the take-off spot around, while SW will lengthen the ride and open up the face for turns. A little more flexible with lower tides and even onshore winds on certain days. Environment: Like most Samoan waves, plucky intermediates will handle the average days, but beyond overhead is for more experienced riders. There's another longer, larger and less-reliable right on the outer reef nearby. Surf: General: One of Samoa's most famous waves, and most surfed. A high-quality, relatively user-friendly barrel with a couple of different takeoff sections, all visible from Salani Surf Resort. High-performance and quite round when it wants to be, the wave isn't very long, but fairly mechanical in its perfection. The "go-to" wave at Salani Surf Resort. Tides: Any, depending on the swell Size: Knee high-double overhead Wind: N to NE Swell: S Bottom: Reef Paddling: Mellow. Spot Rating: Has to check a lot of boxes to properly work, but is a great wave when the swell and wind work out. Access: 20-minute paddle or 5-minute boat ride. Crowds: Crowd Factor: Just the other surf tourists. Local Vibe: None. Environment: Good. Hazards: Bouncing off the reef. Season: May-August
