Hi all,

Well its been a while since we’ve heard from the legendary Sa’Moana resort so when the below surf report with pictures came through we got a little excited.  Samoa is cooking right now! If Summer Mush is getting you down then Sa’Moana might be the answer.

Enjoy WS

Report No: Week 40

Period: 29^th Sept to 8^th Oct

By Surfguide: Rudi Schwartz

Sunday.

First day with World Surfaris group: Geoff, Red, Eric, Marti, Henri and Nev. Light southerly winds and a good south swell provided great conditions to head to some isolated spots.  We got to the boat at dawn and motored to Spot-X, a fun wrapping right hander that although was a little side-shore, had really fun head high walls, with a few barrels here and there.  After about an hour the breeze picked up a bit so we pulled anchor and headed to Y-Tops, a more serious left-hander that had overhead sets, and some fast sections.  It was great for some turns but the breeze wasn’t allowing it to barrel.  Later in the Afternoon, as the tide started to drop, the wind swung offshore and it started to tube strait away!  Everyone got some great waves and we got back to the resort just in time for beer o’clock.

Monday.

Again conditions looked good for the same stretch of coast.  We surfed head high Y-Tops, with a few bigger sets, which were providing some nice tubes again.  The wind however started to pick up, so we decided to motor about 45 minutes to another left, Pebbles.  Pebbles had a wedging take-off on the inside bowl, which was a barrel from take-off.  Marti and I got a few fun shoulder high waves and I also proceeded to get a nice Samoan tattoo on the inside after falling off.  Meanwhile Red, Geoff and Henri went out the back, where head high walls were peeling along the reef, better for turns.  A very successful day once again!

Tuesday.

The winds shifted to the west overnight so we headed to a spot that looked good for the swell direction.  We got to Special K, which was empty, providing perfectly offshore, head high sets.  The take off had a few barrels and was really sling-shotting you into the next bowl, which rolled along the inside reef.  Only Geoff, Marti and Henri came out this day and really scored fun un-crowded waves.  We got back to Sa’Moana Resort and the other guys were a bit disappointed to hear that they missed out.  You’ve got to be in it to win it!

Wednesday.

We woke up early on the low-tide and the guys decided to do the “Trenches Tour”.  These natural sea caves allow you to snorkel through the lava tubes into the ocean.  On the ocean side we did a couple of fun rock jumps which was good and on the way back we checked out the waterfall.  After having their noses rubbed in it the previous afternoon, Nev, Eric and Red wanted to head out to Special K, while the other guys had a relaxing afternoon at Sa’Moana.  Even though the swell had dropped a little, the wind was still very good and we were greeted by chest to shoulder high waves, that were perfect for some turns providing 100m rides.

Thursday.

We woke up greeted by a bigger swell than the previous two days, with the same westerly winds.  Everyone was keen to go and see what Special K was doing in these conditions.  We had an addition to the team, Bevan who was happy to get some waves in boardies, coming from New Zealand!  We got out there and were pleasantly surprised that it was holding the swell and there were overhead sets, with a few nice barrels followed by wrapping walls into the inside section.  Everyone surfed and surfed until they couldn’t paddle much anymore and we headed back to Sa’Moana to have a few refreshments and play Bocce.  Bocce is a pretty addictive ball game originating  from Europe.  Frenchman, Henri, was really into it and we all soon were, which was awesome with a few beers after a long day’s surf!

Friday.

After five days of good waves everyone was pretty surfed out but Marti, Geoff and Henri were still keen to make use of the nice swell we’d been given, while the other guys went and did the “Apia Tour”.  The light winds were changing direction a lot so we headed out in the boat with no real plan, just taking it how it came.  We started to head to Y-Tops when the wind went really westerly, so we promptly turned around, threw out a couple lures and trolled over Mt. Fusi, an ocean mount that has a lot of sea life around it, rising from 60 metres to about 15m.  We were heading to a spot called Barra’s, a fun right-hander that looked promising on arrival despite the strong offshore.  The guys got out there and it was quite fun, about head high with some overhead sets and a few barrels.  The wind ended up dying completely about 2 hours before dark and the tide and swell were perfect for Barra’s, which started to produce some solid overhead sets, almost double overhead.  There were heaps and heaps of tubes and we scored it with nobody else in sight.  It’s a really unique wave that sometimes has a waist high roll-in to the bowl, which was going pretty square and spitting on the good ones.  We got back to Sa’Moana well after dark and we were super happy.  We found that everyone on the Apia Tour had turned it into a bit of a pub crawl!  With everybody in high spirits we ended up having a very fun night, including Bocce of course and then a sleep in was unanimously agreed upon for Saturday morning.

Saturday.

The last day of everyone’s trip split the group up again, some opting to relax and unwind fully at Sa’Moana, while we headed out in the boat just after lunch.  We had a look at a fun left-hander, Wakka’s, that had waist to shoulder high sets.  There were 5 or 6 other people out there so we decided to check Pebbles, which went side-shore as soon as we got there, so we headed to Special K where we had fun shoulder high walls, although a bit windy and a few other people out there, the waves were fun for some turns.  We were waiting for the other boat to leave and a bit over an hour before sunset, they did.  The wind had dropped to pretty much nothing by now and it allowed the waves to get really fun, for the guys to catch their last of the trip.  In that last hour everyone got heaps of waves and the vibe was awesome, everyone knew that we’d had such a good week for waves.  We motored back to the mooring and Henri had a go on the wake-skate behind the boat, which he got the hang of pretty quickly!  All in all, an excellent week of waves and a real pleasure to meet everyone who passed through Sa’Moana this week.  Good times!

Hi all,

October is almost upon us. 4 more days and the Summer season kicks off there’s some small activity in the northern pacific already as if its waiting and getting ready to send the first small ripples down south to the north facing breaks of Carolines, PNG, Samoa and Tonga.  Summer spots are still pretty open if anyone is keen to escape their locals dismal offerings. If not hopefully these pics will put in good stead and see you through until the next swell arrives.

Enjoy WS:)

Hi all,

Paul, a recent returnee from Sa’Moana Surf Resort, sent through some sweet pics of his April trip . We didn’t get a written report but lets be honest – You can form your own opinion!  We have and that opinion is largely – “Awesome, let’s go surf  Samoa!!!!”.

Hi All,

Normally we can’t move for surf reports from Sa’Moana resort, a sudden lack of Surf reports from the Polynesian pocket has left us unsettled. Looking at the charts we know they’re getting swell this time of year, but still nothing….. Until yesterday, phew! So here it is Sa’Moana reporting in with a couple of great pics.  Samoa southern season is open now – Book Today!

Hi All,

  Sa’Moana is undergoing a staff change so we haven’t heard from them in a while, but they have just pushed out a you beaut special that will make your head spin.   Sa’Moana Resort is offering  50 % off all accommodation for travel by March 31st and booked by 21st of March. The swell is cranking this time of year so if you’ve ever dreamt of doing it – NOW IS THE TIME!

The pic just came in today from our pal and Samoan contact George and is of the surf back in Feb of last year in case you needed proof of how great this time of year is…..

Cheers

Hi all,

Please read on for the latest report from Sa’Moana resort its the new year and Sa’Moana isn’t holding back ringing in the new year with some chilled friendly and  fun surf earlier in the week and then something more challenging in offshore perfection later on in the week.  Looks like a great start to yet another year of consistency. Read on for full report……..

Monday 10th to Sunday 16th of January

Monday  The south coast was really small but exceptionally clean and so the crew headed out to hunt some waves at Outside Siumu but ended up fishing more than surfing catching a nice Wahoo, 2 Trevally, and a Striped Tuna.

Tuesday  With the south coast waist high and really clean it meant the north had some head high wind swell in very windy conditions. No surfing guest today.

Wednesday   The crew surfed at Resorts and Robbo’s out the front which was producing some waist high waves in very clean conditions. North Coast had a small northeast wind swell

Thursday   Guests surfed Resorts again this morning which produced chest to occasional head high fun surf with peaky fun waves in light on shore wind. North was small and windy

Friday    The crew headed North in the early am to hunt some fun waves and discovered very nice conditions at heaps of breaks with no one around……..funnn.

Saturday  With a new south swell showing the crew headed to Pebbles for some first day of the swell action producing head high plus sets, with a heavy Guillotine section with the off shore westerly winds.

Sunday  The swell had picked up from the south and with SW wind guests headed to Special K and found epic conditions. Clean glassy with light offshores hitting slightly overhead sets and making for a great surf session with only 6 guys out!   Awesome!!

Hi All,

        When World Surfaris started pushing Sa’Moana Resort as a summer destination I was a tiny bit sceptical. No place, I thought, was blessed with regular consistent waves and generous offshores year round. I was wrong and it turns out that surf experts like resident surf guide John Long, our own Shaun Levings and a couple locals from Samoa do in fact know what they are on about. Samoa and Sa’Moana Resort may in fact be all that its cracked up to be, the below photos are testament and if you’re an unbeliever, then go through all the blogs entries and prepare to be converted – the place cooks!

Monday 29th of November to Sunday 5^th of December

Monday   Our All Zone Trip went to straight to Salani Right and scored slightly overhead east bowls with very rippable top to bottom surfing and the occasional barrel to boot.  They then headed out to Wakas and scored great conditions with 2 foot overhead sets making it really fun with barrels and wackable wall sections. Epic day of Surf by Sa’Moana Resort surf guides!

Tuesday  The swell had dropped overnight and after a full day of surfing the day before the call was to hit Pebbles in the arvo for some head high challenging barrels at the Guillotine section.

Wednesday  The boys hung out at the resort and surfed out front at Resorts for some head high peaks with many fun waves to choose from.

Thursday   With a small swell and stormy conditions the crew headed out to Outside Siumu to surf some rights and lefts to break up the crowd in the less than epic conditions but had fun none the less with some head high sets coming through both ways.

Friday   With a north winds swell today they headed on an All Zone trip to the scenic and remote Tanoa Bowls for some light onshore lefts offering up some chest to head high sets, but a strong squall came through that blew out the surf after an hour and half session. Still heaps of fun though.

Saturday  Out front at Resorts was the call this morning with clean head high peaks offering up some really fun conditions straight out of bed.

Sunday   A non surfing day today but Resorts had a few peaks to be had with the small swell but clean conditions.

Sorry the shots are a bit grainy today but you can still see the quality of the waves, with our guests pulling in.

Hi All,

The real question is what are waiting for? Sa’moan resort – Click here

Monday 22^nd of November to Sunday 28th of November

Monday   A small but clean swell started off the week and a first up surf at Coco’s producing chest to head high playful peaks and some good turn sections in the otherwise tiny ocean conditions. They finished the morning session off at Pebbles as the winds came up. As the tide came back in the arvo the boys surfed Pebbles with the offshore blowing into the barrels of the Guillotine section.

Tuesday   The call was to go to Pebbles today for some clean fun shoulder to head high surf in the small south west swell offering up barrels and the usual inside Guillotine bowl in the offshores.

Wednesday  Again with the small swell and super clean ocean conditions the call was for an Ultimate Sa’Moana Experience offering surfing, fishing, and snorkeling in a full day trip. They headed off to the east and hooked up a big Wahoo that had a great fight, then we hit another smaller one before heading for a surf at Tautua’s and a snorkel off Aganoa at Magic Mushrooms snorkel site. Then on the way back we hooked up with a small Barracuda to end the day off.

Thursday   The crew hit Pebbles and Outside Siumu for some really fun lefts in head high clean conditions with small south swell hitting the reefs as every anticipated the coming swell.

Friday   The Local Option headed to Pebbles for the incoming tide and got 1 foot overhead sets with clean conditions while the All Zone headed to Salani right for the first day of the new swell and found some fun conditions with playful peaks. Later the All Zone crew headed out to Pebbles for a fun head high surf as the tide dropped out.

Saturday   The swell was peaking today so the crew headed out early to Boulders for some epic conditions with clean double overhead sets and no one out. The boys stayed out for a few hours and then headed off to hit Pebbles for some maxed out Guillotines and mostly ride-able waves on the outside section coming through and avoiding the A frames on the inside.

Sunday   The crew went west and scored Y Tops with solid 2-3ft overhead sets in clean super fun conditions in amazing and epic surroundings and only our crew out. They caught 2 Skipjack Tunas on the way home which was a fitting end to a great week at Sa’Moana Resort!

Hi All,

The latest has come in from Sa’Moana resort and it is again cranking and awesome! When going through previous entries its pretty much the status quo for Samoa. If you want consistency then have a look through the entries and send out an enquiry. With a new summer package available at a great price Sa’Moana is cooking – Don’t Miss out!

Monday 15^th of November to Sunday 21^st of November

Monday When our new influx of surfing guests arrived today they hit Pebbles for a late arvo session finding clean shoulder high bowls running into the Guillotine section offering up the occasional makeable and very enjoyable barrel.

Tuesday With a small swell and stormy conditions the crew headed to north side for an exploratory mission but ended up heading to the sea caves to enjoy some of the magic on land that Samoa has to offer when the surf is just not happening, luckily a rare occasion.

Wednesday The was a small increase in swell so the crew was waiting for the high tide in the afternoon to hit Pebbles.  Again they found head high fun walls with the ever barreling Guillotine section doin its thing

Thursday A new north swell had hit so they headed over to Dragon’s Breath to find overhead heaving A frames with super fast sections and occasional bomb set sent down from the North Pacific.  They then we headed back to the south to score Special K and Pebbles with head high and really fun waves to ease the morning jitters BD’s is definite challenge and not for the faint hearted.

Friday The crew headed to Salani Right for overhead wedging peaking sections creating challenging take offs and fast rides

Saturday Outside Siumu lefts were perfect and slightly overhead with really fun carvable walls offering everyone in the group a ton of fun quality waves. When they got back to the resort the crew headed out for another session out front at Resorts for some really fun lefts to finish off the day.

Sunday The gang surfed Resorts again this morning, as the swell had backed off a bit, and it was still offering up some slightly overhead fun clean waves nice Samoan waves.  Vailima time later.
