CoarlHead - Nu'uuli, American Samoa CoarlHead features a heavy short slab wave, primarily a bodyboarding spot, but surfers can also enjoy its powerful breaks. The wave breaks both right and left over a sharp coral reef, making it hollow and fast. It works best at high tide during rising and falling tides, with optimal conditions from a south swell and north to northwest winds. Located on the eastern coast, CoarlHead is accessible mainly from Vaitogi. The area is characterized by sheer cliffs and a quiet surf scene, often resulting in less crowded conditions. While the wave can mush out after take-off due to onshore winds, it offers a unique challenge for those willing to drop in. Nearby, Pua Trees provides additional opportunities for intermediates during smaller southeast/south swells, featuring makeable walls and occasional cover-ups. Caution is advised due to sharp rocks in the water.
