K-Land
K-Land is a world-class reef pass on Savai'i's south coast, named after the legendary G-Land in Java. A long, wrapping left with both hollow barrelling sections and rippable walls, surfable from 4-12ft+. Accessed by a 30-minute boat ride from Aganoa Lodge, it's one of the South Pacific's most elite waves—heavy, long, and virtually uncrowded.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of wave is K-Land?
K-Land is a reef break in Savai'i, Samoa, that mostly breaks left.
What swell works best at K-Land?
K-Land picks up swell from the SE round to the SSW, and it's best when it's coming straight out of the S. It starts working at around 1m and handles up to about 4m, with the sweet spot around 2.3 to 3.3m. Period matters too: aim for 16s or longer, as anything under 11s tends to be weak. These are the numbers our scoring uses, so treat them as a guide rather than a promise.
What wind is offshore at K-Land?
A N wind is dead offshore at K-Land, and anything from the NW round to the NNE keeps it clean. The morning is typically the best window, roughly 6am to 10am. Light winds from other directions can still be fine; strong offshores can make it hard to get into waves.
What tide is best at K-Land?
K-Land is at its best around mid tide, roughly 0.6m to 1.8m on the local chart. Below 0.3m it gets dangerously shallow.

The most reliable run of swell at K-Land comes Apr to Oct. April-Oct S swell season.
How cold is the water at K-Land?
