South Upolu
A heavy reef on the south of Upolu, not a lagoon swim. Boulders is a named peak on the Samoa coast, warm water, a takeoff that is not a first morning. Salani is the other name people use on this island. This page is the reef.
When.
April to October
South swell in the southern winter. A small day is just the reef edge.
Worth knowing.
- 1. This is not a beginner lagoon. The reef is the session.
- 2. Watch a set from the sand before you paddle. The water is warm. The takeoff is not mellow.
- 3. Southern winter is the window. The wet months are a different wind.
- 4. Apia is the town. The south coast is the other side of the island.
