August is a month with cozy weather in American Samoa, with the average temperatures between 76°F (24.4°C) to 84°F (28.9°C). The conditions are among the best of the year for game fishing with ample tuna, marlin, skipjack, and fully-equipped fishing boats for hire. The crystal-clear waters in the coral reefs give one of the most amazing views of underwater marine life, with a variety of fishes just near the coast. Visitors can spot green turtles near the coast, whose numbers peak. Maintain distance from turtle nesting sites, especially during the nights when they are active. The sunshine is bright, and the call of the rocky cliffs, volcanic islands, and dense rainforests is irresistible. Loose-fitting summer clothing is suitable during the day, but wear stout shoes while roaming through the rainforests. August is heavy on the wallet with the tourist season at its peak in American Samoa.
