I live in California and surf almost every day before school. The beach breaks make it so that there's always something and the reefs turn on as soon as it gets over 2ft.
Grew up with similar on the east coast of South Africa
But your surrounded by SEPPOS
FACTS! HB always has surf
Hey mate!! Sick... Yeah Cali would definitely be up there as well!
@@DanHarmon123 Thanks for the great vid!
Im seeing this living in Belgium, probably one of the most constantly flat place in the world
Getting into stand up paddle boarding
Hahha! How many days of the year can you surf there?
@@DanHarmon123almost never, we’re happy if the waves get over 1ft
I've been surfing around the world 50+ years, trust me bro Romania is flatter. I love it here but have a serious jones for some waves
@@amauryvankerkhove9831 next week!
Sometimes in the winter Portugal even has too much swell and too much wind, but there’s always a place to surf.
In the Summer and around that there’s always lots of NW wind, specially in the evenings and sometimes fog in the morning. October/November/December are probably the best months and then January/February/March
West Java indo. Been there 25 or so times over the last 30 years and never had a day where it was too small to surf
Good stuff Dan!❤
Great selection - thanks!
My pleasure!
Love your videos!
keep it up legend
Hey Dan! here in Chile the north swells can create a true barrel fest on the left-hand point breaks, but only the high energy north swells arrive. The south swells of the Pacific are really busy on summer too, so even if there are no north swells, it's very unlikely to find a flat day.
Ahhh interesting! I guess it creates an interesting angle on those points as opposed to the prevailing south swells!
Goin to popoyo next month, cant wait!!
Love Portugal. Going again in Nov
Here in Portugal in winter sometimes gets too much you have to be on sheltered coasts as Lisbon or South Algarve. But still, nothing to complain, even in summer we have well overhead waves on the west coast, just mind the cold waters...
I live in Chile for the last 22 years and NEVER seen it flat here.
I lived on Oahu for 8 years. It definitely has what locals consider “flat spells” especially in the summer when those south swells get shadowed. Tourist will go out in any old junk to say they surfed Hawaii. But ther a plenty of times that no self-respecting local will go out. There are even periods on the North Shore during the winter, when locals stay home.
😅really surprised he left off Mexico. a place like Rio Nexpa gets NW swells in winter Southern Hemi’s in Spring, Summer & Fall. AND hurricane swells. A massive swell window. If there’s a ANY storm in the Pacific, this area gets waves.
Your ideas for videos are really great. There are a lot of surf channels, but few of the hosts take the time to explain in detail what it's like to visit a place, and how to get the best out of a visit. Thanks Dan for putting in the time and dedication so that other people can become better surfers✌🤙
South Island NZ! Can surf every day in Dunedin year round 🎉
Lombok, Indonesia is paradise.
Duranbah seems to be 3 foot, maybe 2 foot on a bad day, pretty much all year round.
Costa rica pura vida❤
Just gonna go to Kaisers and Ala Mo bowls and call off all the bro's: "Comin' down!!" Kala welcomes ALL..... Is this Wave Hunters?
Dan head up north to "The Boom" and you will get some good barrels!
Rio de Janiero. Waves year around. Summer doesn't get as big but you can find waist to head high waves.
Rio is dogshit for surfing
@@SurfistaCamad How? And compared to what?
Summers suck in Hawaii.
EL SALVADOR IS MORE OF A SURFERS DESTINATION THAN Nicaragua and Costa Rica.
wheres this western Australia you talk about?,
the wa i live in is a lake half the year 😅
Hi Dan, excellent review, please don't forget Peru, here is almost waves 370 days per year. big hug!
Hey mate! Yeah great shout actually, swells from both directions also!!
Yes, I can attest as a Peruvian. Central and southern Peru are extremely consistent, with very few flat days in the summer. Northern Peru gets slightly smaller surf from south swells in the winter and receives good north swells in the summer. Also, northern Peru is not just consistent, but also world class.
@@ramzitubbeh-fy8szwhere would you recommend in Peru for the entire months of December and January? Near Chicama?
@@texassurfjournal Your best shot would be northern Peru: Lobitos (intermediate/advanced) picks up swell from many directions; Cabo Blanco (experts only) and Mancora (intermediate surfers) pick up north swell. Chicama is in north-central Peru. It requires big swells, so I don't recommend it in the summer. Pacasmayo is just 1 hour north of Chicama--it's very long, a bit bigger, and more consistent, so not a bad choice. The surf just south of Lima (south central Peru) is reasonably consistent in the summer because it picks up even small south swells and the occasional big north swell. In any case you would have to fly to Lima, so maybe you can refine your plans once you're there, based on the forecast.
I got skunked so bad in Portugal during a month long stay in December. what are the odds.. left early. this was like maybe 5 years ago or so
Hawaii obviously has its days, although there are a lot more things that have to line up than you might think. A lot of the time the offshore wind is too strong to get a good surf in, and the swell direction matters a lot depending on the spot. I’ve lived in both California and Oahu and in terms of just consistency I’d say California takes the crown
Grew up islands, West Honolulu, graduating from town to country, and anywhere else that had waves. West side is home. Stuck up mainland now, and will never acclimate to wetsuits, and no option of offshores.
Yeah wow! That's interesting actually, wouldn't have though that! Thanks for the info :)
At least on an island, one side is gonna be offshore, and you only need some swell. 😜🙏🤙
Hi, where did you stay in Nicaragua?
Is mexico consistent year round?
As an added tip. For all the destinations he mentions avoid the name spots. Overpacked and not worth surfing due to human traffic.
You mention costa rica,but el salvador,nicaragua and panama are the same,not many world class waves but every single day of the year are wave.
Actually el salvador is the most consistent surfing country in the world during all year around.
Thanks for all the videos!! Planning a surf trip for February. Thinking Sayulita, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Bocas del toro, or Puerto Escondido. Wanna surf as much as possible!! Anything over double over head I'll be watching from the beach. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks
So maybe I should've said if you only had 1 month out of the year to travel and wanted surf which would you pick
7:47 how long is that paddle out, my god 🥲
Ya got west oz just a bit wrong. for alot of the year the tides and swell directions render most decent waves un-surfable and the rest are constantly swarmed by marauding packs of backpackers and fifo workers.
I did not know south shore oahu got waves. secret spot?
👍
So California is a grovelers paradise. Way overrated. We get good surf one month a year. The rest of the time it’s 2ft.
Great video Dan. Keep it up! Love your videos.
Yo Scott! Nothing wrong with a grovel a day haha ;) Thank you!
You omitted NorCal's Santa Cruz. Top 3 on this list.
Santa Cruz gets flat pretty often. If we’re talking about NorCal I would say SF and ocean beach
Absolute wave machine, that coastline. Highly localized. Be respectful.
....Agua, pronounced Ah-GWah not Ah-Gu-Wah. Thanks 😅
Yep.. world of waves .. no one owns the ocean
Dan🎉🎉🎉… Is there a clip about surfing in Canada? ❤
You have more views than subscribers, give them candy
No Mexico ? North swell South swell Hurricane season ??
Yeah to be fair!! Should have put it in there!!
And Morocco ? France ?
Definitely up there!! I guess France gets stormy in winter and doesn't have the same reefs/corners as Portugal though.. Not sure what Morocco is like in summer?
@@DanHarmon123 North of Morocco is very good during summer, especially the beach breaks.
Surfing is lame these days, most surfers these days started during covid to be culture vultures and post to instagram, bodyboarding way cooler now, jus tlike the 90s 😂😂
Surfing is never lame. People can be lame, but surfing always rules all sports and all activities in my opinion.
Too bad so much air travel is required to visit all these far flung locations, lots of CO2 emissions are a result, but what the F we don't care much for the future until it arrives with a vengence
Lol Indo is tiny and no where near 4th or 5th in the world
My mistake!! It's not tiny though... it's the 15th largest country in the world!
No surf in WA. No idea what you’re talking about
There are lots of waves there I’ve even seen them
@@jimjam8687Obviously there’s waves you’ve seen in WA, probably didn’t surf them, but the point you miss is the WSL contest in April had lots of lay days due to lack of swell , which is unusual for that stretch of coastline at any time of the year!
What you said about Western Australia was true before climate change, this year they had trouble getting swell at the Margaret River Pro. With the situation being reversed, where Super Bank on the East Coast has been getting months and months of swell , and often uncrowded, despite your claims there’s always hundreds out, even when it’s no good! You stopped surfing it when you left, and I kept surfing it because I live here.Thats why your instant expert wherever you go , doesn’t always work!
Don’t think this guy claims to be an expert eh. Seems to me like he’s just someone out there surfing, travelling, and reporting it on TH-cam. There are lots of variables to surfing and travelling, don’t stress about it bro.
@@hipsonsogboExcept for his previous dismissal of my opinion, because he’d surfed Super Bank ‘many times ‘.His definition of many times is significantly less than mine
@@hipsonsogboAnother annoyance is he never acknowledges or corrects his assumptions
mUh CliMaTe ChAnGe
@@Jason124-zp9os you are getting upset over nothing significant, go and enjoy ya life man its a short one, you could even start your own youtube channel if you put ya mind to it
Mate, please learn how to pronounce both Costa Rica and Nicaragua. Your attempts are painful !😂
South Island NZ! Can surf every day in Dunedin year round 🎉
