Samoa's most famous wave, a powerful right-hand reef break on Upolu's south coast. Salani produces hollow, barreling waves over a shallow coral reef. The Polynesian island setting, warm water, and uncrowded lineups make it a South Pacific gem. Several surf camps provide access to this and neighboring breaks.
