Aganoa Right
Aganoa Right is the signature wave of Savai'i, Samoa's largest and wildest island. A powerful right-hander breaking over reef on the south coast, it's the anchor break for Aganoa Lodge. Catches S-SE groundswells year-round at 2-10ft+, with a hollow takeoff and barrel sections. The setting is pure tropical Polynesia—remote, uncrowded, and stunning.
