Samoa Peninsula is located along the coast between Samoa and Fairhaven, offering about four miles of beachbreak. It's an area that's easy to access and a favorite for many surfers looking for a spot that's convenient yet not too crowded. The vibe here is pretty chill, but it can get busy at popular times, so be prepared to share the waves with others.
The surf at Samoa Peninsula works best with a Northwest swell, and it can handle swell sizes starting from 1 foot (0.3 meters). You can catch waves breaking over sand, both left and right, making it a decent choice for surfers with intermediate skills. The preferred wind direction is Southeast, and the spot is good during low, mid, and high tides. If you're planning to hit the water, aim for the incoming tide for the best conditions. Just keep in mind that it can be a bit sharky out there, so stay aware of your surroundings.
Popular access points include Power Lines, Pulp Mills, and Bay Street. Each of these spots has its own unique feel and can influence the wave quality, so it might be worth checking them all out to see which you prefer. Make sure to check the conditions before heading out, and enjoy the ride!
