7 best surfing spots

1. Portugal
Pay attention to Portugal. The coast of this state is completely washed by ocean waters, which create wonderful conditions for boarding. Beginners are advised to visit the southern part of the country, as the wave heights are lower there than on the western side.

Surfing and recreation can be combined on the Portuguese Peniche Peninsula, which is visited by tens of thousands of tourists from all over the world every year. The advantage of surfing in Portugal is that it can be practiced at any time of the year. The disadvantage of this direction is the rather low water temperature (in the summer season not higher than 23 degrees), which is typical for many European beaches.

Those who are used to traveling on their own and sightseeing without a guide or excursion groups can rent a car from a rental office in Portugal and not depend on anyone. At Lisbon airport, car rental will cost an average of 12 euros per day, at Faro airport you can rent a car from 10 euros per day.

2. Morocco
Morocco is almost the only African state (the only competitors are South Africa) where you can go surfing. Many Russian surfers choose this destination due to its relatively close proximity to Russia (the flight takes no more than 5 hours).

3. Bali
Bali is one of the best surfing islands in the world for beginners and pros alike. Sandy beaches, crystal clear ocean waters, big waves - isn't it the ultimate dream? The surfing season is open all year round, but the best time to surf is from June to September.

4. South Africa
There are many places in South Africa where it is better to surf for those wave conquerors who can easily endure high temperatures. You can go surfing here at any time of the year, but it is better to give preference to the summer period (at this time it is winter in Africa).
Surfing enthusiasts should definitely visit Cape Town's coastline, where you can meet friendly locals. In total, South Africa has more than 150 surfing points.

5. Barbados
One of the popular destinations among wave conquerors is Barbados. You can surf here all year round, but the best time is from October to March. Barbados is perfect for beginners, as the wave height here rarely exceeds 3-4 meters. The air temperature practically does not drop below 30 degrees, and the average water temperature is 25-27 degrees.

6. Sri Lanka
The best surfing in the world is different for everyone, but many wave conquerors love the island of Sri Lanka. This place is famous for its beautiful coastline and picturesque landscapes. The clear ocean, warm water, a huge number of coastal restaurants - all this opens up amazing Sri Lanka to its visitors.
The boarding season runs from October to April. At this time, the waves reach a height of 1.5-4 meters, and their structure is such that surfers can move through the water in any direction.

7. Maldives
The Maldives is the go-to surf destination for professionals and amateurs alike. The season is open here all year round, but the best time to visit is the second half of the summer. The Maldives has a tropical climate. From May to November, there is a high probability of wet weather, strong winds and storms, so during this period it is necessary to make a choice in favor of a different direction.
