Salani Left Surf Guide
A clean, lined-up swell will produce fast, spitting barrels over a forgiving but shallow coral reef at the Salani Left. Notoriously fickle, the wave gains momentum and opens up more the further down the line you go, making this a favorite among goofy-footers and general barrel-hunting visitors to Samoa.
