Ultimate Surfing Holiday Sites In America

Firstly, if your in America on a surfing holiday your first stop should really be Cocoa Beach in Florida. The swells can serve up some pretty sweet surf but you have to be there at the right time. 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. Pay a visit in winter however and it will be whole different ball game. The winter surf is a great deal more reliable and often kicks up swells of close to 10ft. This place is a lot of fun and is a friendly and safe place to hang out, making it perfect for amateurs or those looking for a good party. For the top conditions, pay a visit between November and March

Secondly, it would be criminal not to visit the iconic place where surfing was born. Hawaii is well known for being a surf haven, and for good reason. There are waves here that are as tall as sky scrapers and as regular as day and night. 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 the whole of your time, you must save a little for the 20ft monsters at Oahu and the sheer beauty of the beaches and surf and Waimea and Ehukai. Heaven on Earth

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.This places attracts top surfers like bees to honey, probably because the sun never seems to set. 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 can become pretty manic here though, eleven millions people came to visit last year. So if you’re after more of quiet surfing holiday come and enjoy the water in the winter months.
