Indonesia
If you’ve ever seen Indonesian surf videos (which you likely have if you’ve been sifting through the “best surf videos” on the Internet) then you know exactly why surfing Indonesia is a must. With unreal waves, excellent local cuisine, and warm weather, it’s a no-brainer summer trip.
San Clemente, CA
San Clemente is easily one of the best surf spots in California. With insane swells in the summertime that even the pros can’t seem to resist, it’s a spot for seasoned surfers. Make sure to bring a tent and take advantage of the nearby campsites.
Portugal
Portugal has some of the best waves in Europe, along with a welcoming temperature most all year-round. Take your shortboard out there and shred some overheads or pack your beater from Catch Surf Boards on the flight and womp around on smaller sets. Portugal has got something for every level of surfer!
Morocco
Morocco has a variety of surf spots from the beginner-friendly shores of Essaouira to the head-high walls at Anchor Point. You should definitely check out the Tagazhout Bay Surf Camp while you’re there if you want to sample some of Europe’s most prominent waves.
Tonga
The beaches of Tonga leave plenty of breathing room for those who want a quieter surfing experience. Though you won’t find any massive waves here, there are regular reefbreaks throughout Ha’atafu Beach that are easy to get to.
Spain
The weather in Spain is near perfect during the summer months and Basque Country has some of the most beginner-friendly spots in Europe before the major swells hit in winter. If you’re looking for something a little heavier, we recommend making your way over to El Brusco.
Costa Rica
Costa Rica has got it all from the gorgeous, tropical climate to the world-class waves that can be found in Jaco or Salsa Brava. It’s a great place to begin a Caribbean surfing vacation as well, especially if you’re looking for less-crowded shores.
South Shore, HI
Surfers that are constantly in search of the big swells at North Shore seem to miss out on the consistent mid-sized waves on south shore that are built for fun. If you want to surf in Hawaii but aren’t experienced enough to hit those double-overheard, South Shore is where it’s at.
Montauk, NY
For city folk trying to escape the humidity that the looms on the Big Apple during summer, Montauk is a haven surf spot. From the variety of reefs to the ever-changing swells, you can always expect to find something different in Montauk for every visit.
Nicaragua
Nicaragua is known for its big waves and long beaches with tons of sun and wonderful locals. Make sure to hit San Juan del Sur, the jewel of Nicaragua surfing, as well as Playa Popoyo if you want to hit some groomed-to-perfection, veteran-style waves.
