If You’re Going On A Surf Holiday You Must Visit These Places
First on your surfing holiday itinerary should be the amazing Cocoa Beach in Florida. This beach can provide some of the best surf around but you have to time your visit right. Head here in the summer months and you stand a chance of getting some waves but there is also quite a high risk you’ll spend a lot of time sitting on the beach wondering where they have all gone. Visit in winter however and it will be a different story. The winter surf is a great deal more reliable and often kicks up swells of close to 10ft. The surf is some of the safest around and the area has a great party vibe going on. This makes it very popular with beginner surfers and people after a but of fun. If you’re after the best surf possible, make sure you visit between November and March
Secondly, why not go back to where it all began. Hawaii has long been known as a surfing paradise. Mainly because it’s home to some of the best and largest waves on earth but also because it embraces surfing so openly. It’s so steeped in surfing history that you could easily spend your whole time on your Hawaii holidays, cycling around on the traditional second hand bikes, visiting historic sites, talking to locals about the good old days when surfboards were made out of wood, or checking out the thousands of surfboards on sale. Well, maybe not all of your time, you need to set some aside to witness the 20ft swells at Oahu or do some riding yourself at the stunning Ehukai and Waimea beaches. absolute paradise
Last but not certainly not least, no American surf holiday would be complete without experiencing the “surf city” of the USA, Huntington, which funnily enough is also known for the snowboards they produce. The sun never seems to set on this place and it attracts great surfers like moths to a flame. Some of the biggest names in surfing spend a lot of their year here and its no surprise there are surf comps going on all the time.It does have a tendency to get a little cramped here though, 11 million people come each year. So if the bustling atmosphere isn’t your scene then come in winter to enjoy equally good riding conditions.
