Aganoa Savaii
This break has a great set up! The camp is about 5 meters from the water and the right hander is a short powerful barrel. I was there for 5 nights and we every morning and afternoon you could surf on the high tide and it was perfect. I was out surfing when the tsunami hit and the camp was hardly touched. We were able to continue our holiday and the waves continued to roll in. There was neevr more than 3 of us in the water but i think lots of people cancelled their holiday thinking it had been affected byt the tsunami.

Yeah i agree with Trader Jim. This wave is very surfable if you are talking about the wave in front of the resort that breaks right. Its known as "Grazed Knees" because of a big coral mushroom at the end of the wave which gives you a bit of a scare first time you get near it cause its blue. You can be surfing 2ft waves and then a 5ft two wave set comes through. The left futher down can be nasty. Don't straighten out whatever you do or you'll end up in coral hell. Watch for the mutant waves that break west and out to sea. Also on the north of this island in february near Fagamolo. Only breaks for 3 months, but is an awesome down the line wave. Watch out for the breaks near them, some of them look rideable, but are NOT. Mutant tides and nasty finger-coral abounds.

pros and kamikazis
If this is the same braek you are talking about that is on Savaii. Pros or Kamikazis is a bit of an overstatement.
Sure it's a heavy wave on its day over a fairly uncompromising reef, but any surfer with abit of experience should be able to surf it
