I WANT TO READStories from the lineup, surfhouses worth knowing and inspiration for your next trip.
The best winter surf destinations: Canary Islands (consistent waves, short flight), Sri Lanka (December–March, all levels), Indonesia (Mentawai and Bali, advanced surfers), South Africa (Jeffrey's Bay, iconic breaks), and Nicaragua (Popoyo, uncrowded lineups)
Autumn surfing at its finest: Morocco, Portugal, the Canaries, and Northern Spain peak between September and November. Fewer crowds, better prices, and Atlantic swells that leave summer in the dust.
Summer surf for beginners: top destinations include the Canaries (Las Palmas, Lajares, Adeje), Northern Portugal (Figueira da Foz, Estela Porto), France (Vieux Boucau), and Australia (Arrawarra NSW, austral winter).
A DIY surf trip comes together in five steps: pick the right destination for the season and your level, book your flight 6–10 weeks out, find a verified surfhouse close to the breaks, sort your gear before you leave, and read the forecasts on Windguru or Surf-Forecast
Surfhouses and surf camps are different formats — neither is better than the other. A surfhouse is an independent base for surfers who already ride, close to the spots and with a built-in surf community. A surf camp offers structure, instructors, and guided progression, even for intermediate and advanced surfers.
Choosing the right surfboard comes down to your level, the type of waves, and where you're headed. Softboards and funboards for beginners, fish and mid-lengths for intermediates, shortboards for advanced surfers on powerful waves. Volume is the single most important factor
Take the next step toward your dream surf house. Whether you're a beginner or a pro, our team is ready to guide you through the process.
