The island is 1,125 sq km and is the most populated of the islands. Faleolo International airport is to the west of the island and the capital Apia is to the north.
Upolu island, one of 2 principal Samoan islands, the other being neighboring Savaii, is a virtual swell magnet with surf on 3 sides: south, east and north.
The breaks along the South Shore of Upolu Island which Sa’Moana guests surf on a regular basis via the resort’s 28ft and 34ft powerboats are all reef breaks, 2 rights, and 5 lefts, with the exception of 1 rather incredible lefthand pointbreak, Boulders.
Surfing on the north coast of Upolu involves even more challenging logistics than surfing on the south coast, and since the prevailing winds at this time of year are also north, it makes surfing missions to the north coast far from a sure bet.
