Great for beginners, loads of places to hire stuff right on front Atmosphere: I found some of the locals pretty vocal. Cos it's close to a big-ish town many people surf here rather than drive 45 mins or so north to the better basque breaks. Plenty of travelling camper-van types. Plenty of drop-ins as the quality of surfer there is lower than other basque spots. Can be good when the sand-bars produce clean, peeling A-frames. Lots of local groms getting slammed in the shorey. Additional Info: Can be a good sand bar in the middle of the bay at mid tide. Really only works when it's overhead at Hossegor for example. Surprisingly heavy shorey. Will become ultra-crowded when it's too big elsewhere. Good for beginners. More and smaller waves are guaranteed here and its a long beach so plenty of room for everyone.

Lost count of how many epic fun days I've had here over the years. Atmosphere: Tends to get pretty crowded these days. Has shifts of surfers jumping in and out all day. Tide and wave consistency generally allow everybody to get their share of the action. Vibe is pretty good here, but beware. This is Dave Macaulay's home break, and he owns it ;). Over 50 years old and still going strong. Really friendly bloke though. Additional Info: One of the most consistent small to medium surf spots on the whole coast. As such, it always attracts a crowd. Starts working at 1.5 metre swell (low tide at this size). Fun lefts and shorter rights to be had all round. Holds right up to 3 metres (Big days are easier on higher tides. Tends to close out otherwise). At a little over head high the offshore shelf starts to break (we call it the 6 foot bubble). This outside break is an easy takeoff if your in the right position, and reforms on the inside. On the mid to low tides the inside left barrels and is a lot of fun. Wave is fast allowing plenty of high performance surfing. Bigger days, or very westerly swells at over 2 metres can sometimes close out with the right hander next door to lefties. On the very rare occasion you get bigger waves coming from a more southerly direction at 3 and a half metres or maybe more. With a deep tide, and good East or North Easterly wind, these days go NUTTS!!!. I've only really caught one of these days, as other spots are usually firing when it's this big, and lefties is difficult at this size. It breaks on the 6 foot bubble regularly. If you get the inside reform on a day like this with one of these big ones, it barrels like crazy. Watch the end section, even on smaller days. It gets pretty shallow. WARNING!! Numbers of surfers in the water have dropped off on this coast from time to time in recent recent years due to a couple of fatal shark attacks close by. Keep a close eye out, especially around mid Autumn (Australian Salmon breeding in the area), and September to October (Humpback migration). Lots of sea life (Not all of it friendly)." } ["1062"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "1589" [1]=> string(6) "France" [2]=> string(18) "Nouvelle-Aquitaine" [3]=> string(17) "Charente-Maritime" [4]=> string(12) "La Tremblade" [5]=> string(21) "Côte sauvage - Le 46" [6]=> string(18) "cote-sauvage-le-46" [7]=> string(11) "45.70821717" [8]=> string(11) "-1.24282837" [9]=> string(280) "Drive the Côte sauvage road from La Palmyre to the North.

Atmosphere: On its day its world class (Rip Curl have a photo of it in their 'Search' series), very long, and needs a bigger 4-6+ foot swell. Some of my best, uncrowded waves in Peru here. Additional Info: Like the main Chicama point, it needs a bit of swell to get going, but it will be a foot or two bigger than Chicama. And like Chicama, it definitely gets better the bigger it gets, getting world class once it hits a solid 4-8 feet, when the main point will be firing at 3-6+. Bigger than this (up to 10 feet a few times a year) the locals say it gets dangerous, as it doesn't break all that far from the rocks. It really needs to be at least 4 feet+ to be good, otherwise its too slow. But if you hit it at 4-6 feet, mid to high tide?, you won't forget it, you can get an incredibly long, fast ride up to 600m and with a clean hollow wall and always howling offshore wind all the way, with the odd barrel section. It can be an excellent wave, but again, it does need a bigger swell to show its true form. It peaks just next to a small black jutting outcrop, and walls up into a big clean face, then backs off a little, before running fast up to another 600m towards the main point, dying out towards the end. Most surfers don't paddle back as its way too long, but paddle across to the main point another few hundred metres." } ["1070"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "1602" [1]=> string(11) "New Zealand" [2]=> string(8) "Gisborne" [3]=> string(0) "" [4]=> string(8) "Gisborne" [5]=> string(10) "Roberts rd" [6]=> string(10) "roberts-rd" [7]=> string(12) "-38.67174863" [8]=> string(12) "178.01310539" [9]=> string(0) "" [10]=> string(23) "Instant access (<5 min)" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(3) "Yes" [14]=> string(11) "Beach break" [15]=> string(14) "Right and left" [16]=> string(5) "Sandy" [17]=> string(39) "a:2:{i:0;s:8:"Ordinary";i:1;s:3:"Fun";}" [18]=> string(23) "Regular (100 days/year)" [19]=> string(12) "Short (<50m)" [20]=> string(19) "Normal (50 to 150m)" [21]=> string(77) "a:4:{i:0;s:5:"North";i:1;s:9:"NorthWest";i:2;s:4:"East";i:3;s:9:"NorthEast";}" [22]=> string(62) "a:3:{i:0;s:9:"SouthWest";i:1;s:5:"South";i:2;s:9:"SouthEast";}" [23]=> string(7) "3ft-5ft" [24]=> string(5) "10ft+" [25]=> string(16) "Low and mid tide" [26]=> string(11) "Rising tide" [27]=> string(5) "Empty" [28]=> string(11) "Few surfers" [29]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [30]=> string(0) "" } ["1071"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "1604" [1]=> string(6) "Mexico" [2]=> string(19) "Baja California Sur" [3]=> string(0) "" [4]=> string(18) "San José del Cabo" [5]=> string(8) "The rock" [6]=> string(8) "the-rock" [7]=> string(11) "23.02452189" [8]=> string(13) "-109.71379638" [9]=> string(118) "the rock is located about a half a mile down the beach from zippers. there is a cliff above which overlooks the break."

Sand fleas can be a bit annoying, so best to keep in the water as much as possible. We use a mixture of a touch of Dettol in our sunscreen that seems to help keep the sand-fleas at bay. Additional Info: We normally surf to the right of the village (where we park). There are man-made barrier cement blocks to protect the village from floods, and we usually surf to the east of these. Typically where the mouth of the (sometimes dry) river dumps to the ocean, either side works.

Hard to judge, jacks up very quickly, long hold downs. If you are going to surf here, have your life insurance policy paid up. Additional Info: Best to get here by boat, a jet ski with sled would be great to have handy to save you from drowning. Definitely bring a gun, at least a 7 footer. Bring an extra leash and board because you might break both. + It only breaks when Dumpers passes 8ft." } ["1096"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "1645" [1]=> string(8) "Thailand" [2]=> string(16) "Chang Wat Phuket" [3]=> string(20) "Amphoe Mueang Phuket" [4]=> string(12) "Tambon Karon" [5]=> string(8) "Kata Noi" [6]=> string(8) "kata-noi" [7]=> string(10) "7.80885683" [8]=> string(11) "98.29768181" [9]=> string(116) "On Phuket island, next beach south of Kata Beach.

Also, this is the heart of the red triangle, and you will be sitting at its tip like a tender morsel on the edge of a stick. But, no shark attacks on surfers yet. Spot can get very heavy Hawaiian-style, and giant boulders towards the inside make it an experts-only wave on most days. But can be a score. Better to paddle out with a buddy. Additional Info: Don't park or conspicuosly tresspass out on the point beyond the 'Private Property' fence. Some of the locals who live there are friendly, but many are like fascists when it comes to protecting their turf. Pedro Point is good on a south wind and big swell, and can hold lots of size. It's essentially a big wave spot and doesn't even break when it is under about eight foot faces. Never really closes out, although not always that good on huge swells. A few different sections, all of which connect together maybe once or twice a year. The outside is big and powerful, and a good left bowl if you can get into it. I've seen guys get out of the water just to grab a gun and give it another go. These waves are tricky to get into, but can be big, fun, and uncrowded. There's another section towards the inside which can get good at higher tides and a big swell. It's a smaller wave and the take off is over some shallow boulders, then the wave backs off a bit for a fun, albiet short, workable section.

Slack tide is best but not necessary. Compensate the current by hopping off the tip of the jetty or walking north to the kiddie pool, opposite of the current. Look both ways before crossing as there are ships coming to and from port and they cant see you! amazons is by far the best wave the gulf coast has to offer, the wave is best on a south east swell. it goes off a lot in the winter because we get so many hard onshore s/e windswells that can be like chest to head and sometiems it gets overhead. due to the direction the pass is facing a SE wind is strait offshore, not to mention the jetty blocks most of the wind anyways so its almost always glassy. the jetty formed a perfect shaped sandbar that breaks just like a left pointbreak. theres even a channel. its a left that starts off crumbling and can jack up and barrel on the outside depending on the size, then once it hits the middle the barrel ends and it starts to peel again once it gets to the middle and it goes for about 25 yards before it hits the inside then once it hits the inside its usually about 3/4 the size but still super heavey and can give u a rly fun backside barrel. during hurricane ivan it was about 5-7 ft (8-12 ft faces) and offshore barreling hard." } ["1128"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "1689" [1]=> string(6) "Russia" [2]=> string(18) "Kaliningrad Oblast" [3]=> string(22) "Zelenogradsky District" [4]=> string(8) "Rybachii" [5]=> string(3) "Wef" [6]=> string(3) "wef" [7]=> string(11) "55.18932426" [8]=> string(11) "20.84815085" [9]=> string(171) "Park at Ef's High, go straight to the beach by stairs and 30-50 right.

The locs won't let you get a wave if you're new and you try to pull that. Atmosphere: This spot is pretty friendly for the most part. Although, when it gets good you need to know your place in the line up. By no means is it as localized as windansea or some of the other GREAT breaks in SD but when its good this left is really fun and can be intense(sometimes/rarely).

The locals are cool, the atmosphere on the island is horizontal and the break, if a little fickle is well worth checking out. People doubt this spot, which is good because it keeps the crowds down. If you ask me its their loss! If you like your rights, its not such a bad thing to give up 7 meter desert point to 5 meter secret point! Atmosphere: The local boys are a trip. I've never met a more welcoming set of guys. They actually pull off waves that are so blatantly theirs to watch you surf! I know a few guys in Kuta Bali that wouldnt do that! The spot itself is a little fickle, but when it starts breaking it really cranks. Its just a long wall that produces flawless barrells and when its going, everybody has a smile on their face! A word of warning though, i got caught by a rogue 15 foot set from a typhoon swell last summer which appeared from nowhere and nearly made me shark food. This is quite a ledgey reef and when the swell starts getting above double overhead, they jack up from nowhere. However, for those kamikazis out there, you'll be glad to know that at a bigger size, it still broke completely flawlessly. Additional Info: This spot is called sectrets by the local boys who are more than welcoming to travelling surfers! (Cheers for screwing me over on arak and mushrooms once again ade!)I've surfed it twice in the last 4 years and it picks up more swell than you'd expect. The take off spot on the outside point is fairly easy, but it quickly jacks up to produce long and hollow walls. It breaks over a shallow reef for a long and fast ride. Its fun up to double overhead with long tube rides, but over that it becomes one serious wave that walls and walls and walls.

Seat confortably and order the best hot chocolate in the world.BONUS BONUS: take the car (again) and get to a point called the "Tas de Pois".Once you've been there, life will be more beautiful. Atmosphere: Confirmed-surfers only makes the place cool to surf, even if the surf in itself can get serious,particularily because of the shallow waters.If you are caugt inside, DO NOT DUCK DIVE : just let it happen and wait for the end of the set.It's O.K because, anyway, if you feel tired, just stand up to see how deep it is : foot deep or waist deep...See what i mean when i say shallow ? Additional Info: This spot is placed on the opposite side of the usual swells and this is why you need a BIG swell to make waves turn around the Touliguet point.In order to break on that spot, the swell outsidfe porz Naye bay must be indeed huge (i.e. 3.5 to 4.0 m minimum while all the other spots around camaret are saturated at that time). But in the bay itself, the biggest waves are 2.0m. Below 1.0 to 1.5m waves in the bay, water is really too shallow for a good surf session.Porzh neil is breton language and it means secondth harbour. XIXnth century's fisherman came here to shelter from gales.It means you can also get there by boat from the harbours of Camaret or Brest. DO NOT ANCHOR !!The ground is a reef of rocks and your anchor could stay down when you want it to come up...Also, in the surf zone, it is ONLY SHALLOW WATERS.Bringing and WEARING A HELMET would be a good idea, especially if it's your first time here.Maybe it would also be a good idea to wear it when you walk down the path (get there, you'll see why).In any case, make sure you surf at high tide or very end of rising tide (otherwise, say bye-bye to your fins and maybe your feets !)." } ["1281"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "1897" [1]=> string(5) "Japan" [2]=> string(7) "Okinawa" [3]=> string(0) "" [4]=> string(5) "Uruma" [5]=> string(11) "Tengan Pier" [6]=> string(11) "tengan-pier" [7]=> string(11) "26.40447812" [8]=> string(12) "127.84858704" [9]=> string(432) "From the main gate at Camp Courtney, take 329 north approximately 2 miles (3.2 klicks) past the Army fuel dump on your right.

The picture was taken 48 hours before a typhoon hit in June. Most days I've cruised by it it's flat, but the rare times it breaks, you're bound to have some good rides. The Okinawans have eyes all over the island and know where the break is on any given day. The best thing to do is learn some Japanese, get to know a local surfer, and get yourself put on the phone list to receive the latest surf report. This spot doesn't break as often as Sunabe, but when it's on, the wave quality is the best I've seen on the island. Atmosphere: The atmosphere is laid back. The Okinawans are very chill, and localism is not a problem. A good word to remember is "Gomennesai" in case you drop in on one of their rides. It's Japanese for "Sorry." Additional Info: Park your car in the dirt lot (if it's a good day you'll have trouble finding a spot). This is definitely a shortboard wave but a good longboarder can still hold his own. The wave can break 100-200 meters out, so it's recommended to wear neoprene boots to walk across the coral unless you plan on paddling a heck of a lot. If you paddle out, be careful. It's shallow enough that I've gotten urchin spiks in my thumb. It breaks right starting at the point.

One particular caution. There are no lifeguards here or segragation between bathers and surfers so during the summer season sorting out safe space to surf can involve some discussions and negotiation. Ian Kimber AKA Soul Surfer Regular British Isles surf forcasts on http://i.am/waveski/ Atmosphere: This is a beautiful spot with a friendly family atmosphere during the summer but in big winter surf it can produce some awesome and demanding waves that should not be underrated. It is privately owned and maintained and there is a beach hut with standard beach kit food and supplies for a small touring caravan site at the side of the car park. Camper van owners can also park overnight on the hard standing at the back of the car park. The toilets are excellent and have won awards. The car park is shut at quiet periods during the winter. If the gate to the car park road at the top of the hill is shut proceed with caution because although there is often acces available to the hard standing at the rear of the car park available there may not be and it is very difficult to turn round and get back out if the bottom gates are closed. Additional Info: A complex beach break that takes a lot of learning. I could write several pages about the way the waves run under different conditions and states of the tide two main peaks are oppodsite a line of rocks and further down the beach. A strong rip can run out to sea near the rocks at the south end of the beack this can be helpful or dangerous according to your experience. Nevertheless it is a good beginners break with very clean water. Best known as a storm surf break because it is slightly sheltered from the south and south west and will filter out messy waves to give a good ride. Can tend to close out on large long range swells. Works best at the top half of the tidal push but can work at all states of the tide although usually very much smaller than the other local breaks at low tide but becomes equal to them or (under certain conditions)bigger at high tide because it can use very long period groundswells." } ["1291"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "1909" [1]=> string(11) "New Zealand" [2]=> string(5) "Otago" [3]=> string(0) "" [4]=> string(9) "Papatowai" [5]=> string(9) "Papatowai" [6]=> string(9) "papatowai" [7]=> string(10) "-46.578082" [8]=> string(12) "169.47335958" [9]=> string(58) "Between Papatowai and Tautuku on the Southern Scenic Route" [10]=> string(21) "Good walk (15-30 min)" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(2) "No" [14]=> string(12) "Reef (rocky)" [15]=> string(5) "Right" [16]=> string(40) "Reef (coral, sharp rocks etc.) with sand" [17]=> string(25) "a:1:{i:0;s:8:"Powerful";}" [18]=> string(31) "Sometimes breaks (50 days/year)" [19]=> string(18) "Long (150 to 300m)" [20]=> string(23) "Very Long (300 to 500m)" [21]=> string(57) "a:3:{i:0;s:5:"North";i:1;s:9:"NorthWest";i:2;s:4:"West";}" [22]=> string(42) "a:2:{i:0;s:9:"SouthWest";i:1;s:5:"South";}" [23]=> string(8) "8ft-10ft" [24]=> string(13) "16ft and over" [25]=> string(10) "Don't know" [26]=> string(10) "Don't know" [27]=> string(5) "Empty" [28]=> string(5) "Empty" [29]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [30]=> string(344) "Chronic.

To get to straddie you must first brave the sometimes dicey paddle across the seaway, picking the direction of the current can sometimes be tricky as can be the entry and exit as swell pulses through the seaway mouth and breaks against the rock walls so watch out timing is everything. Once you arrive on the other side you are greeted with an epic set up, as you stand looking from Porpoise Point you have Moondarewa Bay in front of you and about 400m down the beach is the reason Straddie gets so good, a pipeline spews sand from the sand pumping jetty back across the seaway at the spit into the water creating sand banks of your dreams. On a good day there will be chunky peaks running from Moondarewa Bay right up the beach for kilometres but close to the sand pipe is the place to be! Most waves are short intense hollow and powerful with the odd bowl section on the inside just begging to be smacked. Straddie is a definite must for any visiting surfer, the waters warm the waves are good and the locals aren’t too bad as long as you wait your turn and pay some respect, so get out there and tear bags out of some Straddie Juice!" } ["1293"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "1913" [1]=> string(13) "United States" [2]=> string(10) "California" [3]=> string(16) "San Diego County" [4]=> string(9) "San Diego" [5]=> string(9) "Avalanche" [6]=> string(9) "avalanche" [7]=> string(11) "32.75212726" [8]=> string(13) "-117.25529909" [9]=> string(235) "Hwy 8 West to Sunset Cliffs Blvd. Take a right at West Point Loma Blvd. then a Right on Voltaire Street.

It'll be you, a few seagulls, and an ocean full of really nice surf. Hit the bars after your surf up on Hampton Beach for some hot chowder and cold beer. There are a lot of really great people up in this area. Just be nice to the local bubbas, they tend to dislike the surfing type. Atmosphere: You walk down a narrow boardwalk set directly into the sand dunes. Up over the dunes, the beach spreads out before you. On the left, to the north, is the south piece of the Hampton River jetty (itself, part of Seabrook). To the right, you can see all the way down to the pavillion on Salisbury Beach and all the way out to Gloucester at the very tip of Cape Ann. This is a really beautiful area, even without any sizeable surf. Towards the jetty to the north, a sandbar tends to form that breaks a nice mini-point at low tide, look for it to work around 2-3 feet up to chest high. The sandbars can be a pain at low tide, coming out of nowhere and giving you a good dose of sand in the crack. All in all this place is a great beach to take your buddies to to put some dings in their shiny new boards without pissing anyone off. Additional Info: This place can really be a great wave on the right day. It is a miles long sandy beachbreak extending all the way down to Salisbury Beach, Massachusetts (An even better break). You've gotta know someone to park anywhere near the beach, but if it's off-season, no one really pays attention. For hurricane season, you have to sneak in later in the day to avoid crowds / guards. Check it out on your way up to the other breaks. Good for beginners as it lacks the appeal of The Wall and Rye Rocks." } ["1303"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "1933" [1]=> string(10) "Martinique" [2]=> string(8) "Le Marin" [3]=> string(0) "" [4]=> string(11) "Sainte-Anne" [5]=> string(12) "Anse Trabaud" [6]=> string(12) "anse-trabaud" [7]=> string(10) "14.4066666" [8]=> string(12) "-60.84872246" [9]=> string(514) "South of the island.

The right is the way to go, peaking up nicely on the outside with the chance for a tube ride, backing off a bit, then jacking up on the inside shorebreak for a closeout.

Atmosphere: Natural, isolated, in the zone. This spot is a secret even to most SA surfers but I divulge in the name of adventure seekers like myself. I've left the whereabouts and swell direction etc for you to figure out, which means that you're probably a dedicated bastard if you find it. The spot has been rated as better than JBay and has a far more consistent swell window. Seek, respect and enjoy. Additional Info: Vleesbaai is a rare gem. Swell, wind, tide are: East swell, SW wind, low tide. There are three waves along this 1.5km super-point TOADS at the top, Middle Point in,,, er the middle... and Tidal pool at the end. All three cook, so you have to choose your spot based on the conditions of the day. This is no joke: Vlees is notoriously fickle and even though it may have the right swell and wind it can change in a heartbeat. You will only ever hear of one or two perfect sessions a year, and they last only a few hours. 1. If the SW wind blows a little too strong then a strange contour wind blows up the point in the opposite direction and causes speedbumps in the face - on a fast wave, this is a dead end road. 2. Even a slight onshore wind makes the sections crumble and the wave becomes almost impossible to ride. 3. When the tide fills in too much it literally goes from breaking on one set to nothing the next set. Too much tide and it hits the rocks (stabilised dunes by Rooikrans trees have left little sand on the point. Having said this, the wave works like the superbank when its on; and although this is only once a year or maybe two (if you're lucky) its well worth the search. Thing is that when its really on, everyone has already sent the SMS out and you will always have a thick crowd these days. Rarely breaks - once or twice a year, only an hour before and hour after low." } ["1343"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "1991" [1]=> string(6) "Brazil" [2]=> string(23) "State of Santa Catarina" [3]=> string(10) "Navegantes" [4]=> string(0) "" [5]=> string(16) "Gravatá (1 e 2)" [6]=> string(13) "gravata-1-e-2" [7]=> string(11) "-26.8318832" [8]=> string(12) "-48.62196922" [9]=> string(0) "" [10]=> string(23) "Instant access (<5 min)" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(3) "Yes" [14]=> string(11) "Beach break" [15]=> string(14) "Right and left" [16]=> string(5) "Sandy" [17]=> string(54) "a:3:{i:0;s:4:"Fast";i:1;s:8:"Powerful";i:2;s:3:"Fun";}" [18]=> string(32) "Very consistent (150+ days/year)" [19]=> string(19) "Normal (50 to 150m)" [20]=> string(19) "Normal (50 to 150m)" [21]=> string(77) "a:4:{i:0;s:5:"North";i:1;s:9:"NorthWest";i:2;s:4:"West";i:3;s:9:"SouthWest";}" [22]=> string(57) "a:3:{i:0;s:5:"South";i:1;s:9:"SouthEast";i:2;s:4:"East";}" [23]=> string(13) "Less than 3ft" [24]=> string(4) "8ft+" [25]=> string(9) "All tides" [26]=> string(24) "Rising and falling tides" [27]=> string(11) "Few surfers" [28]=> string(7) "Crowded" [29]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [30]=> string(0) "" } ["1344"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "1995" [1]=> string(14) "United Kingdom" [2]=> string(7) "England" [3]=> string(0) "" [4]=> string(0) "" [5]=> string(13) "Widemouth Bay" [6]=> string(13) "widemouth-bay" [7]=> string(11) "50.79093479" [8]=> string(11) "-4.56001282" [9]=> string(75) "Car-parks on beach with showers and toilets, also little cafe open in hols."

Don't f--k with it! Naa is the northernmost tip of Tarawa. There is also a good spear fishing spot for dinner just on the other side of Naa. Waves Typically come from the N-NE as a result the west reef is typically like glass. Fantastic place to spearfish or just fish. little hike from land through lagoon to reef. Maybe 5 mins. There is occasionaly waves on this side. I lived at Naa for 2 years and saw waves here only a few times. Additional Info: Great right point. Swells that smack the barrier reefs bend around the point in a pristine setting. Absolute world class potential when on. High tide only, exposed coral heads otherwise.

Huge sandy beaches for a twenty mile stretch. Excellent beachbreaks with standup barrels on bigger swells. The only problem is that there are lots of hidden metal objects underwater, like empty oil drums, ammo shells, unexploded tank shells, etc. It's a little spooky, but the waves can be really good, and the crowds are made up of just you and whoever you bring. If you can somehow get a pass and go on base, well then it's all yours, otherwise, you have to be a sneak like me. Atmosphere: Now listen carefully. Do not surf here on a foggy day, because amphibious watercraft often come out of nowhere and on to the beach. Those machines are huge and will squash you. The officers will be ticked if they see you there. Also, don't be under the freeway bridge if a tank comes by. It could very easily break your eardrums. Don't be seen if possible. Usually, if caught you will be told to leave, but they actually can arrest you. I was caught twice. Once they made me leave, the other time they borrowed my board and surfed (some Marines are surfers too). I am not a racist, but in all honesty, people of Middle Eastern heritage of Central American heritage will be treated a lot worse than others. Many illegal aliens sneak through this area on their way to Los Angeles, and, well, I guess people of Middle Easter heritage who are caught illegally on a military base might be considered terrorists, so think about it, and good luck. The adventure alone is worth at least one visit. Additional Info: Drive about seven miles north of Oceanside, California until you get to the rest area. Pull over and park in the back of the parking area as close to the chain link fence as possible. Do not leave valuables in the car. Take them with you to the beach, or better yet, leave them at home. When no one is looking, throw your board over the fence and climb it. Wear shoes. Follow the tank path (that's right, tank path) under the freeway and down to the ocean (about a fifteen minute walk). Hide from any Marines you see along the way, especially after September 11th. Hide your towel in the bushes near the beach, and move quickly. Get out there and surf. Don't go unless you are an experienced surfer, because no one is around to save you when things get bleak." } ["1402"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "2084" [1]=> string(7) "Ireland" [2]=> string(12) "County Sligo" [3]=> string(0) "" [4]=> string(5) "Easky" [5]=> string(3) "Gaa" [6]=> string(3) "gaa" [7]=> string(11) "54.29493518" [8]=> string(11) "-8.97768214" [9]=> string(0) "" [10]=> string(23) "Instant access (<5 min)" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(3) "Yes" [14]=> string(11) "Point break" [15]=> string(4) "Left" [16]=> string(8) "Boulders" [17]=> string(25) "a:1:{i:0;s:8:"Powerful";}" [18]=> string(31) "Sometimes breaks (50 days/year)" [19]=> string(19) "Normal (50 to 150m)" [20]=> string(10) "Don't know" [21]=> string(62) "a:3:{i:0;s:9:"SouthWest";i:1;s:5:"South";i:2;s:9:"SouthEast";}" [22]=> string(42) "a:2:{i:0;s:5:"North";i:1;s:9:"NorthWest";}" [23]=> string(7) "5ft-6ft" [24]=> string(10) "Don't know" [25]=> string(16) "Low and mid tide" [26]=> string(10) "Don't know" [27]=> string(10) "Don't know" [28]=> string(10) "Don't know" [29]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [30]=> string(0) "" } ["1403"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "2086" [1]=> string(9) "Australia" [2]=> string(17) "Western Australia" [3]=> string(17) "Greater Geraldton" [4]=> string(14) "Tarcoola Beach" [5]=> string(19) "Tarcoola - chanties" [6]=> string(17) "tarcoola-chanties" [7]=> string(12) "-28.80713243" [8]=> string(12) "114.61899877" [9]=> string(166) "go to the car park in front of chant court and there will be a beach rite in front of you. it may look small but once you get out there you will relise how big it is."

It costs about a buck US to travel to the beach near Punta Pita. from there it is a straight forward walk up the beach for about 15 min. Take some purified water and maybe some sandwiches, or snacks. The morning and evenings are great here, provided the swell is S or SW. Very few crowd. Some rather rude Americans did show up occasionaly and claim to be locals...they spoke very poor spanish for locals, my 10 year old nephew from Canada does a better Job!.

If you happen to see a big black ship anchored offshore the Blancs Sablons cove (with two big lights in the back) you can be sure there's going to be a big gale...it is the towing ship "Abeille Flandre" patrolling as soon as the wind is forecasted to get 7 Beaufort or more. Additional Info: Nice place to go for a walk on sundays...you can surf it with a big W swell (NW 3 meters at least, or W / SW 4 meters +) with an offshore wind and high or rising tide. It breaks mostly in winter where everywhere else begins to close out. In fact : the bigger it is with a E or SW wind, come check here ! The place is pretty safe, even for beginners and even during gales. If you see the waves are better on the right and on the left side of the cove (close to the cliff) DO NOT surf the left side : there's rocks! The right side is safer but watch the rocks indeed. The parking lot described is where you should go on winter because you've less chances to get your car robbed, as in the "grass floored" ones. I know, it happened to me. You can also come by boat, from the Brest harbour or else : have a seamap with you because of man made dangers around (fishing nets and buoys + forbidden places to anchor). If you anchor, DO KEEP a pilot in the boat : clean-up sets are not only for surfers..." } ["1410"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "2094" [1]=> string(9) "Australia" [2]=> string(17) "Western Australia" [3]=> string(22) "Augusta-Margaret River" [4]=> string(7) "Augusta" [5]=> string(18) "Augusta Rivermouth" [6]=> string(18) "augusta-rivermouth" [7]=> string(12) "-34.32458309" [8]=> string(12) "115.17954826" [9]=> string(89) "Turn off at Albany Tce off Blackwood Ave, travel to the gravel carpark and Lions look-out" [10]=> string(21) "Short walk (5-15 min)" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(3) "Yes" [14]=> string(7) "Sandbar" [15]=> string(14) "Right and left" [16]=> string(5) "Sandy" [17]=> string(20) "a:1:{i:0;s:3:"Fun";}" [18]=> string(32) "Very consistent (150+ days/year)" [19]=> string(19) "Normal (50 to 150m)" [20]=> string(18) "Long (150 to 300m)" [21]=> string(41) "a:2:{i:0;s:9:"NorthWest";i:1;s:4:"West";}" [22]=> string(22) "a:1:{i:0;s:5:"South";}" [23]=> string(7) "3ft-5ft" [24]=> string(5) "10ft+" [25]=> string(9) "All tides" [26]=> string(10) "Don't know" [27]=> string(5) "Empty" [28]=> string(11) "Few surfers" [29]=> string(50) "a:2:{i:0;s:15:"Rips / undertow";i:1;s:6:"Sharks";}" [30]=> string(419) "Basically produces one or two surfable days in Summer with a usual 30-40 knot onshore breeze but in Winter it is sheltered from strong NW and combined with huge southery swells from antarica produces some epic days with hardly anybody out.

Pressure may be very high, but it all depends on how aggressive crews are.

The surf season coincides with the south-west monsoon and runs from mid February to November when the best swells are generated by winter low pressure systems in the southern Indian Ocean. March and April also provide good surfing and have the best weather. The water is warm enough to swim without a wetsuit, though a light suit is a good idea, for protection from the sun and coral. Booties are essential for picking your way over exposed coral reefs, and a helmet is recommended. Surfing in the Maldives provides you with two options; either staying in a resort or booking a live-aboard surfing vacation on a charter cruiser (Safari boat). Resorts provide boats (Dhonis) to transport surfers out beyond the breaks between two to three times per day for two hour periods whereas charters offer surfers the chance to surf the reefs for longer periods." } ["1417"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "2104" [1]=> string(6) "France" [2]=> string(15) "Hauts-de-France" [3]=> string(13) "Pas-de-Calais" [4]=> string(20) "Neufchâtel-Hardelot" [5]=> string(14) "Hardelot plage" [6]=> string(14) "hardelot-plage" [7]=> string(10) "50.6365947" [8]=> string(10) "1.57564759" [9]=> string(0) "" [10]=> string(23) "Instant access (<5 min)" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(3) "Yes" [14]=> string(11) "Beach break" [15]=> string(14) "Right and left" [16]=> string(5) "Sandy" [17]=> string(20) "a:1:{i:0;s:3:"Fun";}" [18]=> string(31) "Sometimes breaks (50 days/year)" [19]=> string(12) "Short (<50m)" [20]=> string(19) "Normal (50 to 150m)" [21]=> string(61) "a:3:{i:0;s:9:"SouthEast";i:1;s:4:"East";i:2;s:9:"NorthEast";}" [22]=> string(21) "a:1:{i:0;s:4:"West";}" [23]=> string(13) "Less than 3ft" [24]=> string(4) "6ft+" [25]=> string(10) "Don't know" [26]=> string(10) "Don't know" [27]=> string(5) "Empty" [28]=> string(5) "Empty" [29]=> string(33) "a:1:{i:0;s:15:"Rips / undertow";}" [30]=> string(0) "" } ["1418"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "2105" [1]=> string(9) "Indonesia" [2]=> string(4) "Aceh" [3]=> string(16) "Simeulue Regency" [4]=> string(0) "" [5]=> string(7) "Cocaine" [6]=> string(7) "cocaine" [7]=> string(10) "2.49569544" [8]=> string(11) "96.16257548" [9]=> string(308) "Park at Batu Rundung surf Resort.

Straigth ahead there is a fun beachbreak in certain conditions, but for more experienced surfers there is a point to your right that has a reef in front of it. This is the "gem" surf spot on the east coast and the locals try to keep it quiet. Paddle out and try to sit as close to the area of the reef that is uncovered just before the wave breaks. It will be sketchy at first, but it is well worth it. On the right swell this place is like no other. Long, punchy, walled-up rights can be hade all day with very small crowds (sometimes empty during the week).

There are no home, hotels, or usually people. there is only miles of white beaches, teal water, and a ton of palm trees on the edge of the beaches. you will see all sorts of animals on the way; this path is littered with cattle (which I hate),iguana, and mongoose (you don't have to worry about snakes in PR due to the huge mongoose population). I moved away 2 years ago, and the sessions that I had here will haunt me forever, I love this spot and hope you do too!

Additional Info: Its a rivermouth style, shifty wave, about 100m+ north of the El Zonte Point, over boulders and sand. I think it lines up better on high tide. It's mostly a pretty heavy right from 3 to 6+ feet, but has the odd left as well. The right can handle more size than the nearby point, it gets pretty big-up to 6+ feet (double overhead plus), when the point maxes out at about 4-5 feet. If it gets bigger it breaks way way out and sucks up fast, so don't get caught too far inside. Very rarely it can link up with the main point (I know because I have done it), and it does barrel on its day.

This is an imperfect but fun wave. Learning to separate the closeouts from the good ones is essential to avoiding the reef having a good time. Atmosphere: Rick's reef has a mellow atmosphere. It is seldom crowded and surfed mostly by visiting Japanese and local kids on bodyboards. It can get crowded when it is the only spot breaking, but there are a couple of takeoff spots to spread out the crowd, and the hollow waves and shallow reef keep the beginners away.. This spot is not your average spot its a point break with shallow reefs and live coral, watch out for knee grinders thats a section of Ricks Reef, its a fast and powerful wave, which only the locals have mastered. there for if you got the balls to take on Rick's Reef and all the Hazards it comes with then by all means go for it Additional Info: Rick's Reef looks like a perfect point break setup, but in reality is more of a closeout, especially during larger swells. Nevertheless, it can produce some hollow but short rights and is one of Guam's most consistently breaking and accessible spots. Watch out for the shallow, live reef and the strong current that runs like a river down the point in big swells. Watch out for locals be respectful of them they are territorial about thier land and seas even worse then the Hawaiian Locals. Know the rules of surfing, hold your line, and if you're new try to suck up any way you can, otherwise the locals will police the area, in or out of the water." } ["1459"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "2173" [1]=> string(6) "Mexico" [2]=> string(12) "Quintana Roo" [3]=> string(0) "" [4]=> string(16) "Rancho Enríquez" [5]=> string(9) "El Galeon" [6]=> string(9) "el-galeon" [7]=> string(11) "20.45986637" [8]=> string(12) "-86.80383682" [9]=> string(172) "Easy.

Atmosphere: There is a sandbar directly in front of the lifeguard tower that can throw a freighttrain left on a good SW. A-frame peaks tend to occur on good NW. The place can also get hollow especially in the early morning. It's definitely not a world class wave but it does get good frequently and is much less crowded than surrounding beach breaks. The locals are fairly friendly. Unfortunately, a number of surf schools have popped up in the area and can crowd the spot with dozens of first-timers on big yellow foam boards. If you can surf no one will bother you as long as you don't drop in. If you're a beginner you may want to find your own spot even if it isn't breaking as well as the main peak. If you flounder in a local's wave, accidentally drop in, or even blow a good set wave, you may here it from a local. Just show respect and use common sense and there will be no problems. That goes for the beach as well. Additional Info: The best time for this wave is late summer through fall. Works best on a steeper-angled small to medium size swell with a long period. Best in the early morning on a rising tide - tends to blow out by late morning with the daily onshore winds although it sometimes will glass off near sunset. Locals in the water will leave you alone as long as you exercise good surf etiquette and watch your mouth. Avoid leaving anything of value on the beach or in your car. This is one of Southern California's last remaining beaches where it is legal to drink on the sand and many locals take full advantage of it. The summer experiences high tourist volume, mainly from Arizona.

To avoid paying any fees in the state parking lot, just head east from the exit, around the roundabout and park on the street. Walking distance from here is about 5 minutes to the beach. Usually pretty empty, but keep your eyes out for stingrays. The waves mostly break left, but can break right as well. Winds are the main problem at this spot.

It's a great wave. If it was closer to the beach it would be ultra-crowded. The left is very consistent in form with nice power and great for roundhouse cutbacks and floaters. The right can get really good with long walls but it's a bit fickle. It starts breaking when the beach breaks are about 5-6ft (big left 3ft) and a solid 8ft beachies will see the big left at about 5ft maybe 6ft sets. Then it's not generally surfed bigger than this. Atmosphere: windy near a gold course and hang glidy range and a big cliff. Pretty laid back spot with a wide variety of surf craft. The break breaks in different locations with each wave which makes picking up a wave a reasonably simple affair without too much hassling. It's a nice spot to surf (except the paddle!!) on an offshore day with blue skies. Paddling out it looks like an Indo wave but without the hollowness. It's usually a pretty relaxed crew out there but be careful of the waveskis and big mal ridders who can sometimes hog the waves. If it's a bit crowded, go right which less people surf. Additional Info: Good on a dead wind or a light northery get used to the paddle. Park the car at the west end of the golf course. If passing through the golf course from West Head, a quick check of conditions can be made. Can get very big swells. Gets very crowded when it good. About a ½k paddle offshore so it's better on a light breeze. It also has a right hander off the long left and is one of the most popular spots for Mals and Surf Skis. Park your car at the carpark at the end of the road that runs through the Flinders Golf Course. Get changed and follow the track down to the beach and paddle out which takes about 15 minutes. It seems sharky but don't know anyone who's seen a shark. Good to take a bigger board for the paddle." } ["1474"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "2194" [1]=> string(7) "Uruguay" [2]=> string(20) "Canelones Department" [3]=> string(0) "" [4]=> string(8) "Biarritz" [5]=> string(7) "Santalu" [6]=> string(7) "santalu" [7]=> string(12) "-34.79795255" [8]=> string(12) "-55.52904334" [9]=> string(0) "" [10]=> string(21) "Short walk (5-15 min)" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(3) "Yes" [14]=> string(11) "Beach break" [15]=> string(4) "Left" [16]=> string(15) "Sandy with rock" [17]=> string(20) "a:1:{i:0;s:3:"Fun";}" [18]=> string(32) "Very consistent (150+ days/year)" [19]=> string(19) "Normal (50 to 150m)" [20]=> string(18) "Long (150 to 300m)" [21]=> string(22) "a:1:{i:0;s:5:"North";}" [22]=> string(26) "a:1:{i:0;s:9:"SouthEast";}" [23]=> string(13) "Less than 3ft" [24]=> string(4) "8ft+" [25]=> string(13) "Low tide only" [26]=> string(10) "Don't know" [27]=> string(10) "Don't know" [28]=> string(10) "Don't know" [29]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [30]=> string(0) "" } ["1475"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "2195" [1]=> string(6) "Canada" [2]=> string(11) "Nova Scotia" [3]=> string(9) "Lunenburg" [4]=> string(15) "Upper Kingsburg" [5]=> string(7) "Hirtles" [6]=> string(7) "hirtles" [7]=> string(11) "44.25884726" [8]=> string(12) "-64.27036285" [9]=> string(140) "Take the Lunenburg Exit (10) off Highway 103 and drive, drive, drive....to Rose Bay, Kingsburg (towards the ocean).

Overall the Corpus Christi area is a great place to surf. Atmosphere: Locals are generally good-natured and friendly. Additional Info: There are several spots to surf around the Corpus Christi area (The Coastal Bend of Texas). On the northern part of the island, south of Port Aransas, at the Mustang Island State Park is the Fish Pass Jetties. These twin short jetties offer some current protection in any swell direction with quick take offs and good wave shape. South from there are the jetties at Packery Channel. This channel was recently completed and displaced the pilings of the now-defunct J.P. Luby Surf Park. Surf can be good here, longer jetties providing more protection from chop than at the State Park. This is still the party beach of Corpus Christi with cars constantly cruising the shoreline. The locals have struggled against outside interests who want to close the beach to cruising and tailgate parties. Next south is the premier surfing spot of the Coastal Bend of Texas, Bob Hall Pier. This spot gets very crowded due to the consistent quality of the wave. Bob Hall Pier can get very hollow and makes for some great tube rides. To get to the spots farther south, you will need a 4WD vehicle. Big Shell is about halfway down the whole island and is after Little Shell. A 4WD sign is almost the beginning of Little Shell. There is a really dumpy wave here on this natural wave focusing area that is filled with millions of crushed, weathered Giant Gulf Clam shells. A little farther south is Little Shell. Finally we get to the north jetty at the Port Mansfield cut. This spot is classic with absolutely no crowds, nice hollow waves with perfect shape. Because of the lack of crowds, desolate location and excellent waves, this spot is a very special place for the intrepid surfer." } ["1495"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "2223" [1]=> string(9) "Australia" [2]=> string(15) "South Australia" [3]=> string(14) "DC of Elliston" [4]=> string(8) "Sheringa" [5]=> string(8) "Sheringa" [6]=> string(8) "sheringa" [7]=> string(12) "-33.89613842" [8]=> string(12) "135.18479347" [9]=> string(413) "You drive towards Elliston and there is a left turn off to go to Sharinga.

There have been reports of massive white sharks eating dead hump back whales only 25 feet from the shore at the mouth to wonboyn lake only a few hundred meters away from the reef." } ["1502"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "2235" [1]=> string(13) "United States" [2]=> string(6) "Hawaii" [3]=> string(11) "Maui County" [4]=> string(7) "Kapalua" [5]=> string(11) "Honolua Bay" [6]=> string(11) "honolua-bay" [7]=> string(11) "21.01511079" [8]=> string(13) "-156.63979411" [9]=> string(95) "Drive towards Kapalua and take noth shore highway until you reach teh bay parking on your right" [10]=> string(21) "Short walk (5-15 min)" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(3) "Yes" [14]=> string(11) "Point break" [15]=> string(5) "Right" [16]=> string(30) "Reef (coral, sharp rocks etc.)" [17]=> string(42) "a:2:{i:0;s:6:"Hollow";i:1;s:8:"Powerful";}" [18]=> string(32) "Very consistent (150+ days/year)" [19]=> string(19) "Normal (50 to 150m)" [20]=> string(18) "Long (150 to 300m)" [21]=> string(41) "a:2:{i:0;s:9:"SouthEast";i:1;s:4:"East";}" [22]=> string(57) "a:3:{i:0;s:5:"North";i:1;s:9:"NorthWest";i:2;s:4:"West";}" [23]=> string(7) "3ft-5ft" [24]=> string(4) "12ft" [25]=> string(9) "All tides" [26]=> string(24) "Rising and falling tides" [27]=> string(11) "Few surfers" [28]=> string(7) "Crowded" [29]=> string(51) "a:2:{i:0;s:7:"Urchins";i:1;s:15:"Rips / undertow";}" [30]=> string(550) "This is a great break when it's firing.

The wave hugs a cliff and peels along it. There is another wave to the immideate north that may work on small swells, a rivermouth/point combination that can produce perfect lefts from 2-8 feet.

Use caution the reef is dangerous. There are strong currents, you can paddle to the break, but it is highly reccomended you go by boat--if just for the fact after your done with your surf session, you are going to be tired and still have to swim back to shore about a mile against the current if the tide is heading out. Water depth at the break is about 5 thru 20 ft deep. The wave has a huge bowl which if it is a big swell will put the fear of god in you. Try not to get caught too far inside, there is an area where the waves refract, causing 3 waves to hit against each other constantly creating huge 6 to 8 ft backwash type chop.

Then, there are days where you don’t even wanna look at it. Atmosphere: This spot is kind of weird to describe, because it hasn’t really been discovered by all the surfers yet, because it’s not very popular. Most of the surfers go to Posto 3, 5 or 6 in Barra da Tijuca. The thing is, that the spot mostly doesn’t have as good waves as the other postos I mentioned, but I know, from my own experience that this spot can be compared with some very popular beaches where only pros surf and which normally are very crowded. If you ever have the luck to surf here on this spot when it’s good, then you’ll think you are in Australia, Hawaii or something like that. There was this one day; the waves were so perfect that I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. That day you couldn’t really do anything wrong. The waves were that good. Well, the water was a bit cold, but I would accept that everyday if it was that perfect all the time. The waves where hollow, it was easy to get in them and they broke peeeeeeerrrrrrffffffeeeecccctttttllllyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No doubt! To be honest, there aren’t a lot of days like these. When it isn’t like this the waves normally break on a very shallow sand bank and they have a lot of strength and break with a great tube!! It is kind of strange because you can’t see how the waves are from outside the water, you have to be in front of them, you have to surf them to see how big they are and how they break. From the outside they normally look tiny, but when you are in front of one you’ll probably change what you thought about it before. Additional Info: You can park your car right on a parking spot.

The one straight out from the bathrooms is very much a longboard spot, with mostly mushy waves that break further from shore. The closer and closer you get towards the jetty, the waves breaker closer to shore, are much shorter rides, and get much more hollow. Right next to the jetty is mostly a bodyboarder spot, as it can be caught a little outside, then turns into powerful barreling shorebreak. Straight out between the jetties is another spot, and my opinion one of the best. It only breaks on days with 4+, but it will sometimes barrel for a long time as a left, all the way to the shorebreak just north of the jetty. The problem is it only breaks at a very low tide coming in, and there is a VERY strong tow that trys to pull you towards the jettys. You must be a very strong swimmer to surf this spot for more then a few minutes. The last peak is actually just off the south jetty. It breaks at anything 3ft+. It doesn't barrel nearly as much as tamarack, but is a very fun right when the other peaks are crowded, and there are multiple peaks to take off on. On a good wave you can catch the right from 25 yards outside the jetty all the way in to the beach." } ["1576"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "2339" [1]=> string(13) "United States" [2]=> string(10) "Washington" [3]=> string(19) "Grays Harbor County" [4]=> string(8) "Westport" [5]=> string(10) "The Groins" [6]=> string(10) "the-groins" [7]=> string(11) "46.91134377" [8]=> string(13) "-124.11512375" [9]=> string(151) "Go past the westhaven state park access.

Just be very carefull of the current. Of every spot i have surferd in washington i think that the groins has the worst rip. Very VERY stong. With the exchnage from grays harbor a lot of water is being sucked out. Have fun. Can get crowded, but with the movement of the tides it opens up other breaks along the small jetties. Atmosphere: This is a very fun spot to surf when the jetty is out of control or when you feel like some smooth longboard waves. I suggest hauling your beautiful longboard in a bag over the break wall rather than trying to navigate the narly bolders. Put too mayn dings in my board trying to crawl over the rocks. Just have to find you "secret" smooth way down. Additional Info: When this place is working it can be very good. I have been there and seen it 10ft +. I would say it is for exprienced surfers becuase when the tide starts going out you better know how to paddle very well. Seen people get sucked all the way out the the bouy and had to be rescued by the cost guard. Some times the westport cam is directed towards the groins, however mostly toward the cove. Park your car right on the other side of the break wall. Great spot for shortboarders. Just park your car on the other side of the jetty, keep it securely locked because lots of things have been stolen. It breaks right in front of the 4th jetty on teh third groin. Use the rip to get into position for the peak, and you better be aware, because the current is very swift. You can watch the wave form for a long time, and you can see as it reaches the current, the water just gets sucked up the face. Paddle hard and pop up as quickly as possible. Milk as much as you can out of the wave, because the rides are usually pretty short, but you should have enough time to make a few turns or airs if your lucky, you might even get shacked. Its better to just ride in to the beach and walk back over the 4th jetty and paddle back out then to fight the rip." } ["1577"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "2340" [1]=> string(6) "Brazil" [2]=> string(7) "Paraná" [3]=> string(9) "Guaratuba" [4]=> string(0) "" [5]=> string(21) "Guaratuba Praia Brava" [6]=> string(21) "guaratuba-praia-brava" [7]=> string(11) "-25.8977582" [8]=> string(10) "-48.564291" [9]=> string(0) "" [10]=> string(23) "Instant access (<5 min)" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(3) "Yes" [14]=> string(11) "Beach break" [15]=> string(14) "Right and left" [16]=> string(5) "Sandy" [17]=> string(54) "a:3:{i:0;s:4:"Fast";i:1;s:8:"Powerful";i:2;s:3:"Fun";}" [18]=> string(23) "Regular (100 days/year)" [19]=> string(12) "Short (<50m)" [20]=> string(19) "Normal (50 to 150m)" [21]=> string(21) "a:1:{i:0;s:4:"West";}" [22]=> string(41) "a:2:{i:0;s:9:"SouthEast";i:1;s:4:"East";}" [23]=> string(13) "Less than 3ft" [24]=> string(4) "8ft+" [25]=> string(8) "Mid tide" [26]=> string(24) "Rising and falling tides" [27]=> string(11) "Few surfers" [28]=> string(11) "Few surfers" [29]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [30]=> string(582) "The water is not much polluted, this wave can give you very funny momments when it's in good conditions.

Needs a HUGE swell (atleast 8+)to start working and wrapping around the point properly. Kind of like the Vlees Bay of the West coast so it works rarely but when it does its classic.

Jet skiers love the place and really screw up the lineup anymore. Breaks very far off the beach and the as the wave pulls up all the rocks roll along the bottom making a weird noise. If you make the wedgy drop which is steep and fast you have lots of speed to run out on the shoulder but it hits deep water quickly so lots of cutbacks are needed. Additional Info: Parking is an issue as it's surrounded by condos. Best to park in front of catholic church 4 blks away and walk to public acess by Points of America (15 min walk) The setup: dredged rocks from inlet being cut through reef lines. Runs straight out from beach and gets very shallow at low tide. A swell will wrap back on itself making a wedge about 3 times swell size. Peaks are very very shifty, mid-tide current is strong from water leaving inlet. Rarely breaks and rarer good and clean. Good about once every 5-10 years.

Good place for wave starved east cost surfers to come and get some real waves. Atmosphere: Ruapuke is a nice wave when its on. It packs some serious power. Go here when Raglan is flat or 1 foot and Ruapuke will be 3 -4 feet. Best winds are from the easterly quarter. Quality depends on the banks, which can be world class or utter shite. Generally there is something to ride. Watch for the seabreeze in summer. Best swell is a southwest north west combo for wedge tube fun. Generally the beach has about 4-5 main banks that always are in the same general area. Additional Info: A typical west coast beach in New Zealand that is more often than not, too big and out of control to surf. Its a beach break so the banks shift around with the rips etc. Pick your bank, you can see them all from the car park which is about 1 meter from the sand.

Atmosphere: great wave for all surfers, sometimes theres a bit of agro( isnt there everywhere now days!!) this wave was built to relive the crowd situation at other local breaks, and cost the local tax payers quite a bit of money. it was generally a success but was placed in a position where there is a very small swell window , needing a solid nor west swell to start to work. Additional Info: only really starts to work on a big swell, has some intersting sections, including a sucky take off and a fast barrel section, but soon fades out into a deep channel, sometimes on a really big swell you can make it into the inside section on the beach for an extra long ride!!if you get rolled you usually end up in the channel soon enough so is pretty safe in this respect. I went to tafe in freo for 2 years straight and almost every day i passed this spot on the train. I saw i working about 5 or 6 times and only 2 or 3 was it really creating a nice wave and usually after a rather large storm which was crap because than you had to wait for the weather to lull somewhat." } ["1670"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "2485" [1]=> string(13) "United States" [2]=> string(6) "Oregon" [3]=> string(16) "Tillamook County" [4]=> string(16) "Neahkahnie Beach" [5]=> string(15) "Neakahine point" [6]=> string(15) "neakahine-point" [7]=> string(11) "45.73292059" [8]=> string(13) "-123.94951344" [9]=> string(219) "Turn off highway 101 at Neakahine beach or Manzanita beach , the wave is at the northern end of Neakahine beach, the boulders start at the end of the beach walk around until you see the wave breaking along the boulders," [10]=> string(19) "Long walk (>30 min)" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(3) "Yes" [14]=> string(11) "Point break" [15]=> string(5) "Right" [16]=> string(8) "Boulders" [17]=> string(25) "a:1:{i:0;s:8:"Powerful";}" [18]=> string(23) "Regular (100 days/year)" [19]=> string(19) "Normal (50 to 150m)" [20]=> string(18) "Long (150 to 300m)" [21]=> string(61) "a:3:{i:0;s:9:"SouthEast";i:1;s:4:"East";i:2;s:9:"NorthEast";}" [22]=> string(61) "a:3:{i:0;s:9:"NorthWest";i:1;s:4:"West";i:2;s:9:"SouthWest";}" [23]=> string(7) "3ft-5ft" [24]=> string(5) "10ft+" [25]=> string(9) "All tides" [26]=> string(24) "Rising and falling tides" [27]=> string(5) "Empty" [28]=> string(11) "Few surfers" [29]=> string(66) "a:3:{i:0;s:15:"Rips / undertow";i:1;s:5:"Rocks";i:2;s:6:"Sharks";}" [30]=> string(173) "Turn off high way 101 about one mile past Oswald west state park, park at the car park on the headland above this wave , then look down the cliff face to check out the surf," } ["1671"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "2486" [1]=> string(11) "New Zealand" [2]=> string(9) "Northland" [3]=> string(0) "" [4]=> string(12) "Waipapakauri" [5]=> string(13) "90 Mile Beach" [6]=> string(13) "90-mile-beach" [7]=> string(12) "-35.03758654" [8]=> string(12) "173.15380096" [9]=> string(0) "" [10]=> string(10) "Don't know" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(7) "Unknown" [14]=> string(11) "Beach break" [15]=> string(14) "Right and left" [16]=> string(5) "Sandy" [17]=> string(52) "a:3:{i:0;s:6:"Hollow";i:1;s:4:"Fast";i:2;s:3:"Fun";}" [18]=> string(23) "Regular (100 days/year)" [19]=> string(19) "Normal (50 to 150m)" [20]=> string(18) "Long (150 to 300m)" [21]=> string(21) "a:1:{i:0;s:4:"East";}" [22]=> string(26) "a:1:{i:0;s:9:"SouthWest";}" [23]=> string(13) "Less than 3ft" [24]=> string(4) "3ft+" [25]=> string(17) "Mid and high tide" [26]=> string(11) "Rising tide" [27]=> string(5) "Empty" [28]=> string(5) "Empty" [29]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [30]=> string(132) "Drive along beach until you find a sand bar producing good wave.

If its to bad, go for an extra 15min drive south along the coast were you find Trigg Beach, which should be braking alright! Additional Info: The wall is a small wedge in the north suburbs of Perth. It wedges because of a groyne/breakwall on tha north side. The south west swell hits it and bounces back forming a nice little wedge. This place only works in a BIG swell, but even then it's only 3-4ft. If ya go out a bit further in a big swell you can ctach a biger wave with a nice longish ride. If not hang around the pipes and wait fer the wedge. Its a short but quick ride mainly going right, but ya can go left and wait fer the double up to come over the top of ya....but dont go too far left into the rocks ! This place is very shallow and a piss easy paddle from shore, great for beginners.

The beach has to main waves; the one in front of the beach entrance (step descent) breaks both ways, the left is better but not always works; the right is acceptable quality, very hollow drops, and a very very hollow inside section (beware of the rocks in this section, they sometimes show their teeth, especialy in low tide); otherwise the wave is a bit fat. The other wave is a left that breaks to the right of the beach; it's a long fat wave, not so shallow as the main point, so a better option in the low tide. There also is a wave to the left of the beach (also breaks to the left), in front of the cliffs, rarely surfed, and can handle waves from 1m up to 5m. Good options when the main wave is crowded.

You will either love it to death, or hate the place because it will definitely put you in your place if you don't watch out. Atmosphere: From the beach, on a good sized day, this place will fool you into thinking that it is an easy wave. Looks are very deceiving here. Once you are out there you will realize that you have stepped into a heavy, and fast wave. You need to respect the ocean, as well as the locals even if they aren't Hawaiian, or you may bite off more than you can chew. If you are up for it, and you get it on a good day, you can easily get barreled and still have three or four good turns all on one wave. Keep an eye out for sneaker sets. It is really easy to get caught inside. You have to pay your dues to get this place wired. If it is small though it is a mellow place, perfect for beginners and children. Additional Info: It's best on a good sized west swell. Once it gets past 6' it will stay open faced all the way across to the inside section of reef, called the Toilet Bowl. As more North starts to fill in the peak shifts over more and makes for a shorter ride, but gets more ledgy and sketchier on the take off. It also starts to section and close out. There is always a big rip current that constantly draws you in toward, and past, the take off zone if you don't constantly paddle to stay ahead of it. When it is smaller there are perfect reforms on the inside for the beginning surfer to start out learning to surf." } ["1722"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "2560" [1]=> string(6) "France" [2]=> string(18) "Nouvelle-Aquitaine" [3]=> string(7) "Gironde" [4]=> string(7) "Baurech" [5]=> string(16) "Mascaret Garonne" [6]=> string(16) "mascaret-garonne" [7]=> string(11) "44.72098191" [8]=> string(11) "-0.44759095" [9]=> string(152) "The most famous place for surfing tidal wave in the area is Saint Pardon in the Dordogne river; but sometime, we can also surf in the Garonne river too."

From bad to worse, you can find your most miserable session at any one of them. Can be however an outlet when the crowds elsewhere are out of control, but then again, if you want it, - one wave at trestles is better than 100 waves at trails ! South trail ( Trail 6 is a notorious nudist beach - loaded with men lurking and trolling the shore for victims. Full on creep factor. And there is a contingent of nudist surfers whom have absolutely no skill but let it all hang out while skimming these crappy waves. Fronted by one loud mouthed nude blond female surfer, a bruntette body boarder and a handful of fat old men. Easily provoked. Can be good fun to get 'em going! )Countless times I've wondered to myself as I can see good waves firing off the points at Trestles to the north, why in hell am I here again? Beach however is picturesque, with undeveloped buffs to the ocean, sandy beaches ( What california looked like 100 years ago. ) and the area is relatively litter free. If there waves were 100 times better with surfable shape, barrels and the nude men to women ratio was reversed to hetro-levels, this would the greatest spot ever! Parking hassles, fee to get in, lousy waves, long walk to the beach, weird folks, and better spots close by = no fun for you or me. Additional Info: Mostly not worth the walk. Mushy, mediocre, flat faced, thin lipped, gutless surf most of the time, closed out and strong currents up or down beach during bigger swells. Have to park the car on top of the bluff and walk down to the beach. ( Finding parking on week ends can be tough. ) Can be a good longboard wave on small days, but when theres surf, why waste your time when Trestles is so close, or the so many quality waves in San Clemente or Orange County to choose from. Look forward to lugging your gear down to the beach, then in order to get a good wave, Paddle hard and hop up and down like mad to connect the powerless outside to the powerless inside.

At size it can get powerful, just like anywhere else, but doesn't handle over about 8 feet. Watch the obvious rock pen at the very end of the wave on big days. A softer alternative on most days, it does therefore get crowded, but you should be able to get a peak somewhere. Additional Info: This wave is one of the most consistent and easiest to surf in the Mentawais. Always seem to have a wave, often with two peaks, one outside and one inside along the rock shelf.

I dont mind giving the spot away because Im never going back after what I saw there in the water. >.>" } ["1748"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "2600" [1]=> string(9) "Australia" [2]=> string(15) "New South Wales" [3]=> string(9) "Newcastle" [4]=> string(9) "Newcastle" [5]=> string(17) "Newcastle harbour" [6]=> string(17) "newcastle-harbour" [7]=> string(12) "-32.91649976" [8]=> string(12) "151.80057406" [9]=> string(37) "from breakwall at entrance of harbour" [10]=> string(23) "Instant access (<5 min)" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(3) "Yes" [14]=> string(16) "Breakwater/jetty" [15]=> string(5) "Right" [16]=> string(8) "Boulders" [17]=> string(42) "a:2:{i:0;s:6:"Hollow";i:1;s:8:"Powerful";}" [18]=> string(10) "Don't know" [19]=> string(12) "Short (<50m)" [20]=> string(19) "Normal (50 to 150m)" [21]=> string(42) "a:2:{i:0;s:9:"SouthWest";i:1;s:5:"South";}" [22]=> string(26) "a:1:{i:0;s:9:"NorthEast";}" [23]=> string(7) "3ft-5ft" [24]=> string(5) "10ft+" [25]=> string(10) "Don't know" [26]=> string(10) "Don't know" [27]=> string(5) "Empty" [28]=> string(11) "Few surfers" [29]=> string(94) "a:3:{i:0;s:15:"Rips / undertow";i:1;s:29:"Man-made danger (buoys etc..)";i:2;s:9:"Pollution";}" [30]=> string(517) "when it gets big you worry about hitting the bottom, made up of huge concrete lumps twisted metal old train tracks shopping trolleys with pieces of steel protruding through the concrete and old car bodies but the waters so brown and shitty youd never know Atmosphere: scary fricken scary Additional Info: needs a big NE swell to wrap in through the harbour entrance where the swells hit the inside of the eastern breakwall. the takeoff is really heavy below sea level wedge before the wave barrels into a heavy tube" } ["1749"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "2601" [1]=> string(9) "Indonesia" [2]=> string(12) "West Sumatra" [3]=> string(24) "Mentawai Islands Regency" [4]=> string(0) "" [5]=> string(9) "Sometimes" [6]=> string(9) "sometimes" [7]=> string(11) "-1.79584179" [8]=> string(11) "99.23118067" [9]=> string(22) "Boat, nothing on land."

Lefts are preferred for their shape and occasionaly flawless spitting tubes. The rights are slabby and unpredictable beasts. A pain in the ass. Both hold good size and dish out slaps when underestimated. The bottom is a rocky reef, high tide = no worries, low tide = sketchy! T's breaks fairly consistently but needs a 6ft+ swell to work well. North swells provides shorter rides with sections at the end, South swell is best with way longer rights/lefts. Fun on small 6 ft days. I've surfed it over 13 ft and it gets extremely intense! Sometimes mushy but with a good sized swell, gets very hollow and powerful. Ideal Conditions: early morning, mid tide, big south, offshore winds. If you want mushy and unpowerful, go to Pismo Beach.

Swells hit a subwater shelf (consisting mainly of rounded rocks) then break making and nice steep long right ending in the channel. New Surfers must show respect to the locals, there law mainly states that you are not allowed to catch a wave unless they let you, I said ok when they told me but then kept on riding regardless. Small kuts a commen on feet from walking out of water. Falling on waves is not too dangeroius. I try not to worry too much.

A lot of fun! I'll be adding some pictures to the site soon. The entire 8 days I was there the wave never got under 1 1/2 meters. The biggest day was 2 1/2 meters. Atmosphere: Beware of the pigs that live on the little Motu. The locals keep them there. I don't know if they are friendly but I stayed away from them. Show some respect for the locals. I surfed this break during the week days with no one in the water but myself. There were only 6 or 7 guys in the water on the weekend and that's only because the waves at Fare, etc. had too much wind on them. I helped pick up trash on the little Motu because it is so beautiful, and also help one of the local surfers get his boat un-anchored by swimming out in the inlet to where he was and held the anchor while he pulled in the line. He cut a Papaya in half and gave it too me, which I ate for lunch on the beach. Everyone was either very nice or didn't make a comment. I suggest you do the same. Additional Info: You can park your car at the public access at the entrance of the Sofitel Hotel. You can either paddle across the lagoon and walk down the reef (this would be a long walk). Wear sandals or booties. The other option is to walk down the resorts beach and then paddle over to the Motu. You'll still need you sandals or booties to walk around the island. There is tons of broken coral on the beach. This is a real easy paddle across a flat calm lagoon. Once you get to the Motu the walk around the island is about 300-400 yards. Once you get to the inlet side, the break is only about 35 yards out. It's amazing. You can jump into the inlet and paddle out without even getting your hair wet (total paddle time 3-5 minutes). You'll be able to see the waves lining up, and since I didn't have anyone else out as a reference point, I just kept moving over until I was in the zone and took off. Almost every wave is makeable, and begins to bowl up and barrel as it raps into the inlet and then it spits you out into the channel. I almost went over the falls once, but I'm glad I didn't. The reef is pretty sharp and I recommend you take some booties if your feet aren't tough." } ["1781"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "2649" [1]=> string(6) "France" [2]=> string(15) "Hauts-de-France" [3]=> string(13) "Pas-de-Calais" [4]=> string(5) "Berck" [5]=> string(14) "Terminus berck" [6]=> string(14) "terminus-berck" [7]=> string(11) "50.42413201" [8]=> string(10) "1.56505823" [9]=> string(145) "spot is on north side of berk, park on famous discotheque named "Terminus".

Park here and make your way along the seashore south (easier at low tide). Alternatively, 500m before the bridge, turn right and follow the signs to the restaurant on the river front (a slightly surreal experience - but good food and a very chilled place to hang out). From here get a boat to take you across the river - you will end up pretty close to the foot of the cliffs where you would park, had you driven. This route is quick and easy - make sure you arrange a pick-up, as it would be a bad idea to try and paddle back across (sharks and crocs)...

Additional Info: Three spots are surfable here, all of them lined up under the multi-coloured cliffs. The first two are small point/beach breaks which are OK but not worth the detour. The third is the main location as it is a form of submerged rocky reef running straight out under the main cliff at its highest point. The reef breaks both right and left, with the right being slightly more hollow and shorter. In big swells this closes out completely.

You'll likely never see a pro here, however, because if it's excellent here it's gonna be better somewhere else in town. There can be some very aggro local guys here that will run you over (I'm looking at you, blonde dreadlocks). Remember that most of the people here are just trying to squeeze in a surf and share some stoke. This is a very popular spot for beginners, especially the spot in front of the clocktower. However, despite it's popularity, it is not necessarily an easy wave to learn on. The waves can be strong and powerful, and are very likely to close out everywhere except the right off the pier, and that right off the pier is usually being caught by a more skilled surfer. If you're not surfing, this is a great spot to watch, whether its from the beach or the pier. don't throw things at the surfers (unless they're harassing groms) Atmosphere: The most common spot to surf here is the north side of the pier. Due to ocean currents hitting the Pier Pilings, there is pretty much always a sandbar just north of the pier, and south swells will hit it and create excellent right-handers that will barrel easily. You can get long rides here too, as long as they aren't too big. This place gets very heavy on large swells, and will close out and send you to the bottom, so be safe. If you go left, you can shoot the pier and get some cheers from the onlookers watching from the pier... listen closely and you'll hear their feet scurrying across the planks. There are sometimes more peaks further north of the pier, and you will generally see a clump of people sitting straight out from the clocktower on the beach. It can get peaky here, but closeouts are common. On a medium sized winter swell, the south side of the pier can produce excellent waves. Ideal board size depends directly on swell size. If it's under 3 feet, bring your log and wait for a lower tide. Otherwise, you'll be wanting your shortboard. Additional Info: There's lots of paid parking, it only fills up on busy summer weekends. If you're lucky, you can find free street parking in the neighborhoods ~ be respectful, we live here. Please Don't litter. Paid lots are free before 10am or after 5pm. Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, the only spot that isn't blackballed is the area north of the Pier. The rest of the year, you can surf on either side." } ["1787"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "2657" [1]=> string(4) "Peru" [2]=> string(8) "Moquegua" [3]=> string(15) "Province of Ilo" [4]=> string(3) "Ilo" [5]=> string(25) "Ilo Moquegua - Big sister" [6]=> string(23) "ilo-moquegua-big-sister" [7]=> string(11) "-17.6403413" [8]=> string(12) "-71.34718895" [9]=> string(23) "ilo, Moquegua Perú" [10]=> string(21) "Short walk (5-15 min)" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(7) "Unknown" [14]=> string(12) "Reef (rocky)" [15]=> string(14) "Right and left" [16]=> string(30) "Reef (coral, sharp rocks etc.)" [17]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [18]=> string(31) "Sometimes breaks (50 days/year)" [19]=> string(10) "Don't know" [20]=> string(10) "Don't know" [21]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [22]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [23]=> string(7) "5ft-6ft" [24]=> string(10) "Don't know" [25]=> string(9) "All tides" [26]=> string(10) "Don't know" [27]=> string(5) "Empty" [28]=> string(5) "Empty" [29]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [30]=> string(0) "" } ["1788"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "2658" [1]=> string(5) "Japan" [2]=> string(8) "Miyazaki" [3]=> string(0) "" [4]=> string(8) "Nichinan" [5]=> string(8) "Shoojiun" [6]=> string(8) "shoojiun" [7]=> string(11) "31.60429824" [8]=> string(12) "131.41922951" [9]=> string(0) "" [10]=> string(23) "Instant access (<5 min)" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(3) "Yes" [14]=> string(11) "Beach break" [15]=> string(14) "Right and left" [16]=> string(5) "Sandy" [17]=> string(25) "a:1:{i:0;s:8:"Powerful";}" [18]=> string(23) "Regular (100 days/year)" [19]=> string(12) "Short (<50m)" [20]=> string(19) "Normal (50 to 150m)" [21]=> string(41) "a:2:{i:0;s:9:"NorthWest";i:1;s:4:"West";}" [22]=> string(41) "a:2:{i:0;s:9:"SouthEast";i:1;s:4:"East";}" [23]=> string(13) "Less than 3ft" [24]=> string(4) "6ft+" [25]=> string(10) "Don't know" [26]=> string(10) "Don't know" [27]=> string(10) "Don't know" [28]=> string(10) "Don't know" [29]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [30]=> string(18) "classic beachbreak" } ["1789"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "2659" [1]=> string(8) "Malaysia" [2]=> string(5) "Sabah" [3]=> string(0) "" [4]=> string(13) "Kota Kinabalu" [5]=> string(14) "Nexus west end" [6]=> string(14) "nexus-west-end" [7]=> string(10) "6.11688356" [8]=> string(12) "116.09759331" [9]=> string(0) "" [10]=> string(21) "Short walk (5-15 min)" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(2) "No" [14]=> string(11) "Point break" [15]=> string(14) "Right and left" [16]=> string(40) "Reef (coral, sharp rocks etc.) with sand" [17]=> string(90) "a:5:{i:0;s:6:"Hollow";i:1;s:4:"Fast";i:2;s:8:"Powerful";i:3;s:8:"Ordinary";i:4;s:3:"Fun";}" [18]=> string(31) "Sometimes breaks (50 days/year)" [19]=> string(12) "Short (<50m)" [20]=> string(19) "Normal (50 to 150m)" [21]=> string(41) "a:2:{i:0;s:9:"NorthWest";i:1;s:4:"East";}" [22]=> string(46) "a:2:{i:0;s:9:"SouthWest";i:1;s:9:"NorthEast";}" [23]=> string(7) "3ft-5ft" [24]=> string(4) "12ft" [25]=> string(16) "Low and mid tide" [26]=> string(11) "Rising tide" [27]=> string(5) "Empty" [28]=> string(5) "Empty" [29]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [30]=> string(1014) "Very quiet and serene.

You can get a car or taxi to take you to the Nexus Karambunai Resort which is about 25 mins away from Kota Kinabalu city.

But that would be late evening dodging the mid day crowds. I remember getting stuck out there in the dark at 6ft cause it was so good. A lot of the time getting it at the pushing tide is what you want (the rocks are close at low tide) and it usually gives up at full high tide unless the swell is really big. Atmosphere: A world class reef break when it is working, right next to the harbour, sharks follow the fishing boats apparently so be aware, you can easily catch a train there as the station is also on the edge of the sea. The first time i surfed this spot i was shit scared because i heard all these hectic stories about the locals and the reef. was not that bad but i did hit the reef hard. i've seen a guy snap his board here and a guy get cut very bad. the locals thats are cool if you keep out of their way. Barry McDermid says: I'm a surfer so if the spot is small or blown out (strong NW/N) the bodyboarders tend to have more success. It's a quaint spot set at the base of a beautifull mountain. The paddle out is short and the water temp is usually fine. If you respect the few 'gods' in the water then you'll be ok. A tip is to surf it when the kids are at school (like 07:00 - 14:00) cause the crowd factor goes up when schools out. If it gets overhead and glassy you can get some classic tubes. Additional Info: Be nice to the locals. Do not hesitate, you will become part of the lip if you do and you will hit the reef. Park in the parking lot just before cape to cuba restaurant, the spot is directly in front of you across the railway lines, small takeoff spot into a hollow spitting barrel section. You can see your car clearly from the lineup and there is usually a car guard in the carpark. Barry McDermid says: Depends on the size really and I'm no expert at the spot but the idea is to get into the wave as early as you can by paddling hard comming at the peak from the right hand side accross it.

Not really what you come to indonesia for. Gets blown out early by SE trades in the dry (swell) season. If you leave Jakartha early on Saturday mornings around 4 am you can usually get there in about 2-3 hours depending on your driver and the weather at the time. You have to realise that you are basically driving through 30-40 million people. It is only around 160 km (100miles) but the road can be pretty dodgey. Have seen quite a few pot holes that would happily eat a Kijang no worries. I know of people who have been stuck for 6 hours on the road to Cimaja. If you are keen for a surf and haven't been for a while then it is definitely worth it but if you are planning to drive down every weekend then I think you should make your car your next best friend because you two are going to be spending a hang of a lot of time together.

Just about anyone who grew up in the San Juan Metro area has surfed here, especially when they were just starting out. (Even me) So I have fond memories of this place but I could swear the waves have gotten smaller over the years, or maybe I just got bigger,lol. Additional Info: Parking will probably be your biggest problem as it is very limited, if you cant find one then drive back to main road and go east about another 600 ft to the entrance for the last multistory building, this is a hotel that has a pay parking lot, its not too expensive and your car is quite safe, plus there is easy access to the beach, but now you'll be to the right of the break. As for surfing the spot well, not much to say as it is just a beach break, except bring a good attitude, relax, and have fun as there are a lot of beginners here, and they don’t know all the unwritten official rules of wave selection and right of way. Useful data-Almost all sand bottom except were the take off area is, but it is too deep anyhow to touch bottom there, wave reforms as it hits a sand bar on the inside, very shallow here (about 2-3 ft)and sometimes quite hollow. Many times there will be a fun backwash that will launch you in the air if you time it right. Wave breaks left and rights with much longer lefts. Will start working on 3-5ft swell. Works best on any swell bigger than 6 to 8 ft the bigger the better. I have seen it pumping on a 12-15 ft swell, though just so you beginners don’t get the wrong idea and freak, the wave will only be about 4-5 ft face as the waves have to pass over an outside reef about a mile out in the ocean and lose most of their power." } ["1842"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "2733" [1]=> string(5) "Spain" [2]=> string(20) "Comunidad Valenciana" [3]=> string(1) "A" [4]=> string(16) "Bahía de Jávea" [5]=> string(15) "Montgo di Bongo" [6]=> string(15) "montgo-di-bongo" [7]=> string(11) "38.78774024" [8]=> string(10) "0.18286966" [9]=> string(201) "It's easy to find.

Then it's like a little bay and in between Dicky Beach and Moff shory there is a rocky place known as The Cove. It is very shallow and heavy and hollow. Then you will see in front of coves about 200 metres out is The Reef it is a perfect A frame reef break and on a good day can be compared to Pipe or Teahupoo. Atmosphere: A local icon, semi-frequent contests. Can get super crowded on good days and most weekends. Big slow rolling surges to carve slice and hack. Long boards proliferate while boogers flounder. Can sort a barrel in the right winds. Try not to hit the turtles, they ding. This headland is really crazy in big surf when the swell is right and the wind the wave creates a huge bowl section where pros can find themselves deep inside a barrell. If you're on a surf trip it is a must to stop here and check it out. if it's messy out the back and unsurfable, the shorebreak might be worth a look great fun (and some times pain) when u pull into a huge keg (u wont come out). This is one of the best spots around if you want lots of variety there are all sorts of waves they are mainly rights but if you want to walk over to Dicky Beach (which isn't far) it's a bit further north there are some sick little lefts for boosting. Additional Info: This wave is easily accessible with a short walk to the headland. When the surf is small it can only be ridden by long boards but when it is big only shorboards or pro mal riders because a large swell makes it break further out on a different ledge which sucks up and offers an awesome bowl section which barrells fast and heavily. DONT GET STUCK INSIDE IN BIG SURF. great longboard wave on mid to high tide better for short boarders when low tide. The easiest way to get out is to jump off the rocks, I do not advise trying this on a big day thoug it is easier to paddle around from the shory if it's big......Do not ride a stand up in the shorebreak unless 2 way lake is breaking properly.....Be cautious of the random shelfs that pop up at cove on a small day when it's breaking inside closer the the rocks......and be very wary of your position at reef on a big day its not unusual to have 12 step sets come through at a time and you find yourself in the position that you normally get cleaned up by the last one which is always massive." } ["1898"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "2805" [1]=> string(7) "Ecuador" [2]=> string(6) "Guayas" [3]=> string(9) "Guayaquil" [4]=> string(7) "Posorja" [5]=> string(19) "5 1 2km & 8 1 2km" [6]=> string(15) "5-1-2km-8-1-2km" [7]=> string(11) "-2.73121336" [8]=> string(12) "-80.24688721" [9]=> string(122) "you go straight to posorja and it´s on the right the 5 1/2 after 3 km is the 8 1/2 . it ´s very easy to go there" [10]=> string(23) "Instant access (<5 min)" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(3) "Yes" [14]=> string(11) "Beach break" [15]=> string(14) "Right and left" [16]=> string(5) "Sandy" [17]=> string(21) "a:1:{i:0;s:4:"Fast";}" [18]=> string(10) "Don't know" [19]=> string(12) "Short (<50m)" [20]=> string(19) "Normal (50 to 150m)" [21]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [22]=> string(42) "a:2:{i:0;s:9:"SouthWest";i:1;s:5:"South";}" [23]=> string(13) "Less than 3ft" [24]=> string(4) "6ft+" [25]=> string(17) "Mid and high tide" [26]=> string(24) "Rising and falling tides" [27]=> string(5) "Empty" [28]=> string(11) "Few surfers" [29]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [30]=> string(176) "it a great wave there is a little barrels or somethimes some great barrels Additional Info: you better find a local surfer who provides you of all the indications or e-mail me" } ["1899"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "2806" [1]=> string(9) "Australia" [2]=> string(17) "Western Australia" [3]=> string(6) "Broome" [4]=> string(11) "Cable Beach" [5]=> string(11) "Cable Beach" [6]=> string(11) "cable-beach" [7]=> string(12) "-17.93006915" [8]=> string(12) "122.20916748" [9]=> string(68) "Go to Broome City. 2300km North East of Perth . easy car park access" [10]=> string(23) "Instant access (<5 min)" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(3) "Yes" [14]=> string(11) "Beach break" [15]=> string(14) "Right and left" [16]=> string(15) "Sandy with rock" [17]=> string(59) "a:3:{i:0;s:8:"Ordinary";i:1;s:3:"Fun";i:2;s:9:"Powerless";}" [18]=> string(31) "Sometimes breaks (50 days/year)" [19]=> string(19) "Normal (50 to 150m)" [20]=> string(19) "Normal (50 to 150m)" [21]=> string(61) "a:3:{i:0;s:9:"SouthEast";i:1;s:4:"East";i:2;s:9:"NorthEast";}" [22]=> string(42) "a:2:{i:0;s:5:"North";i:1;s:9:"SouthWest";}" [23]=> string(7) "5ft-6ft" [24]=> string(4) "12ft" [25]=> string(17) "Mid and high tide" [26]=> string(11) "Rising tide" [27]=> string(11) "Few surfers" [28]=> string(11) "Few surfers" [29]=> string(39) "a:2:{i:0;s:5:"Rocks";i:1;s:6:"Sharks";}" [30]=> string(1480) "its great,but you gotta wait for a cyclone. don't travel up here for waves, you really have to be a local and be super keen to be able to get a wave. also don't be afraid to look around there's lots of beaches which will break differently depending on the swell and wind direction. there's always a bit of a crowd at Cable Beach however if you go up the beach you'll have it all to yourself! just watch out if you drive your car on the beach as a few people lose their car to the fast tides each year (mainly tourists).

Good for couples. That means no more than 6-8 guys on it at a time. EPIC. + Had the best waves of my life, and the best holiday of my life at Nagigia. Uncrowded - the only surfers out will be island guests. All the fun of reef surfing with none of the hassles. Access available - weather and swell direction permitting - to a cracking right hander, Uokatokou. Beginner reform break near the island too for the missus. Additional Info: better to go deep n take off on the smaller ones(wall up longer)Line up with a trench(crack on the bottom of the reef)Set's break wider so always keep an eye on them.... + Awesome wave as is the Nagigia Resort. Anyone going to Fiji should not overlook it!! It's remote and easily comparable to any other resort in Fiji. Although only the adventures should go. A lot of boating and scary 4 seater planes. + Ideal break for anyone looking to try their hand at a reef wave. MUCH safer than Tavarua etc. Normally surfed on a mid tide plus, so there´s more water under your feet. Gets very hairy when the swell picks up and the tide drops. Offshore in the trade winds. Bring your reef boats. Surf guide on hand at all times. Friendly people on Nagigia island.

Shortly after you reach the coast you will come to a turn where you can see down to the beach and campground. After you reach the bottom of the valley you will cross a woden bridge that crosses Usal Creek. Once you have crossed this bridge look for a road to the left, this will take you to the beach. The road ends at the beach and just kind of opens up into a parking lot. This is a state park and campground, follow the side roads through the trees to find a campsite." } ["1978"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "2930" [1]=> string(4) "Peru" [2]=> string(17) "Provincia de Lima" [3]=> string(17) "Provincia de Lima" [4]=> string(13) "Punta Hermosa" [5]=> string(8) "Puntilla" [6]=> string(8) "puntilla" [7]=> string(12) "-12.33839955" [8]=> string(12) "-76.82216093" [9]=> string(136) "Just go along the Panamericana Sur until km 43 where your reach to Punta Hermosa.

The right breaks closer to the river mouth and is often at least 200-300 yards, making for a rippable long wave with only a few really hollow sections.

Atmosphere: Pushed around by Western ways for hundreds of years, one of the last ethnic Hawaiian strongholds rests among the valleys fringing the West Side of Oahu. Wedged between Kaena Point, the Waianae Range and Kamaileunu Ridge, Makaha represents the island's last stand, a friendly place if you know the right people, but far from inviting. A small, self-contained community with its share of problems, this is where big-wave surfing began. In the '30s, a few brave souls went searching for something more challenging than the safe rollers of Waikiki. Wally Froiseth and John Kelly, two Hawaiian haoles with a major role in making boards that could handle sizable surf, led the charge. Their Hot Curl design, with a sliced-down tail, enabled them to ride across a breaking wave without sliding ass, breaking from the standard mentality of riding straight to shore. On a high school camping trip up the west coast of Oahu in 1937, they noticed a perfectly tapered pointbreak, so they returned with their boards, thus opening the door to exploration. They were later joined by George Downing, a teenager whose scientific study of big waves made him a legendary surfer and one of the earliest shapers of legitimate guns. The wave at Makaha contains four distinct breaks: the Point, the Bowl, the Blowhole and the Inside Reef. Ridable at any size, it truly becomes a challenge over 10 feet. More even and lined-up than other spots when serious swells from the north and west turn the North Shore into a death zone, Makaha attracted the attention not only of the Waikiki emigrants, but of the first wave of Californian hellmen. Transplants Buzzy Trent and Walter and Flippy Hoffman were the first mainlanders to sample Makaha during the early '50s. In 1953, The San Francisco Chronicle ran a photo of Trent, Downing and Woody Brown riding the biggest perfect wave anyone in California had ever seen. Immediately, another group followed, setting up camp wherever they found space. As word spread across the mainland, more and more surfers headed for Makaha. For a few years, Makaha was the place, but continued exploration of Oahu and beyond saw its heyday as the epicenter of big-wave surfing come to an end less than a decade after it gained notoriety. Nevertheless, Makaha remained the site of some of big-wave surfing's seminal moments. For two days in early 1958, Makaha point surf was as good as it gets, 25 feet and perfect. Downing was the hero, and Trent also stood out. But by then, the North Shore mystique had been debunked, and the West Side had become nothing more than an escape valve when everywhere else was out of control. It happened again in December of 1969, considered the largest swell in recorded history. California transplant and longtime leader on the North Shore front, Greg Noll, rode what was deemed a 30-foot wave. In 1954, Froiseth organized the Makaha International Surfing Championships, an event considered the determinant of the world's best surfers before the advent of the World Contest and a professional tour. At first, the field was limited to Hawaiians and Californians, but after early filmmaker Bud Browne traveled to Australia showing footage from Makaha in 1957, it became a truly international affair. Contests have been a part of the lifestyle ever since, but not in the traditional sense. The late Rell Sunn began her menehune event here in 1976, offering hope to countless troubled youths over the years. While Sunn was undisputably the Queen of Makaha, the West Side's first family is the Keahulana clan. Father Buffalo, Makaha champion in 1960, has h held his annual Big Board Classic here each year since 1977. Featuring canoe-surfing, tandem surfing, bullyboarding (oversize tandem bodyboards), bodysurfing and longboards over 10 feet, it brings together the entire community for a day of fun. All the elements making Makaha what it is -- families, fishermen, food and pick-up trucks -- abound. If all this sounds like an ideal surfing vacation, think again. Despite the variance of watercraft in the lineup, a clear hierarchy has always existed, and gatecrashers are not welcome. The people of Makaha are wary of outsiders -- and for good reason, given their history. Unemployment and crime are West Side epidemics, and residents are known to strike back when faced with intruders in the only way they know how. Offering ridable surf most every day of the year, Makaha provides its residents with everything a community needs. Small surf, big surf, fishing and a daily gathering place, Oahu's last frontier will continue to stand its ground.-- Jason Borte, December 2000 Additional Info: During the Winter, these beaches have high surf that does indeed exhibit "fierce" conditions, often averaging fifteen feet and sometimes peaking as high as thirty feet plus. This is not a time for swimmers to be in the ocean at all. The waters are otherwise safe except when there is high surf. Strong back washes are created and the shorebreak and resultant undertow becomes very dangerous.

And try to spread yourselves out when you come as most people tend to cluster in one spot when there are quite a few decent sandbars spread along the whole length of the beach.

The spot used to be notorious for problems with banditos, but has upgraded the facilities recently to include short wave radio. Much safer than in the past. Good friendly atmosphere. 2008-2009: Violent crime and police extortion once again common in La Ticla. Aquila police in camp almost every night extorting money. Banditos armed with pistols and carbines dragged 8 people from their tent 2 nights ago stealing money and electronics then taking 2 hostage for a lift out of town. Two tents razored last month with surfers losing wallets. Two boards stolen last night and one more two nights ago. The shit is back here and the Ejido needs to step in to stop this. Seriously reconsider your trip here for now. Additional Info: La Ticla has a 180 degree window for year round swell. Best in summer during storm swells.

The reef consists of a bunch of huge flat rocks with large, deep, sand filled cracks in-between them, but small enough to not effect the wave quality. Starts maxing out after 10 foot (Closes out with nearby beach break). The higher the tide, the better... a pretty epic spot sometimes although not world class.

I had a blast with these guys in the water yelling each other into waves and screaming and laughing all the time. Felt like i was living the endless summer right at the spot! If you come do not forget to bring wax for these guys .... they surf on half broken boards with so little wax its amazing they even can snap the lip!!! For sure one of my best surfing experiences ever!!!!!!!!!! Additional Info: From Solo take (typical java) 6 hours busdrive south to Pacitan. Tell the busdriver to stop at the happy bay beach bungalows-entrance and walk your way (about 800 m) to the beach. This is the only accomodation near the beach. Everyone will notice, smile and waive to you when walking to the bungalows and probably in no time the 5 local indo's will appear in front of the bungalows to invite you to come surf!!!

It´s a spot that you can´t miss surfing if you came to Peru. You can always find foreign surfers here. If Chicama is too small, head for Pacasmayo - it picks up much more swell. Additional Info: The spot is very rocky reef, you have to be carefull and it is preferable for you to use booties. It´s a good idea to first have a look at the spot at low tide to check out the form of the reef, because where the wave breaks there are dangerous rocksThere is a STRONG current that increases depending of the size of the swell. The waves are high, fast, powerful and very long. Good paddle and long Surfboards are necessary. Watch out for the strong easterlies that blow here, these can knock the wave into a pile of mush. The thing is that when a really big-big southern swell reaches the peruvian shores, Pacasmayo breaks 4 meters plus (about 12 feet) and the wave really has no end... its longer than chicama,and, of course, much bigger, a 4 m. + wave longer than chicama!!!! it seems the wave is going in direction to the east- in direction to Australia, and not to the shore.. its amazing ... you need a 7'4" minimum...

There are a couple really cool locals that are world class surfers like Alan Cleland, Mike Johnson, Terry Gallard, Mike Gallard, who are very cool and can give pointers if you are out on huge days there because this wave can be very unpredictable at times. Additional Info: IB was always a safe bet on any swell when I didn't want to hassle with the long drive and traffic to North County or deal with the crowds. IB can be good during a variety of swell size (and directions), from small to huge. Up to head-high, conditions on both sides near the pier can be good, and you can usually find several peaks along the beach running south of the pier. There is also a good break in front of the "dinosaur cage." The clever among you can figure that one out on your own. IB can get crowded on good days (especially the weekend). I think the best spot is in front of the last house on the beach before you get to the estuary. The locals do regulate there, but I never had a problem with them. Just be respectful and dont bring a crowd. When it gets huge Sloughs really wakes up. If you can make it through the shore pound, there is an offshore sandbar directly in front of the mouth of the estuary. It doesn't really fire until it gets overhead during the winter swells. Personally, I think comparing it to Mavericks in size-potential MIGHT be overstating it a bit but I have never seen it close out. The bigger it gets, the further out it breaks. I have been out there in double-overhead conditions several times, and I would either be alone or with only a few other guys out. The right is fun, but its the left that goes off. You can get rides that are several hundred yards long - NO JOKE! Word to the wise though; this place is not for the faint of heart. Its kinda spooky being out there by yourself, a quarter of a mile offshore with a shifty peak and strong side-shore current, with the occaisional shark sighting. It is very polluted from the Tiajuana River and the sharks come in to eat the garbage out of the river. It is not uncommon to have sting rays which are infecyed with diseases and to see logs, washing machines, ect floating by when you are surfing.

Additional Info: It's off Kavite Road, there's a few different places to park up and then you have to walk down the access path to the beach. In the wet season (when it gets swell) the dirt roads are usually closed so you cannot drive on them (or risk a $$$ fine). You can drive to the port industrial estate and then park up there on McDaniel Road and walk the rest of the way (800m). bring some food, water and vinegar with you as it's a tough walk through the mud.

And a good place to use as a reference when out in the water of where the wave breaks/. Heavy beach break when its firing. The inside bar walls up and allows for cover. And the outside break is nice walls coming out of deep water.. Atmosphere: Punta Morena is a chill little spot. There is no major commercial development on the East side Cozumel , (windward side) .. Nothing but a few restaurant / bar/ gift shops dotted along the coast. But if your looking for a beautiful coastline and long rides this is the spot. Its a tubing wave, but it offers power,azure colored waters and no surfers or sharks in site. Been there twice , once in Dec 14' and Oct 16' and was the only one in the water both times.. Additional Info: Park at the Punta Morena Bar/Grill. Rent a board from the surfboard rental stand for $35 an hour. Walk up the beach towards the North and paddle out. Few rocks and sand mix. When its 3ft plus you wanna time punching through the first break, it can fold pretty heavy .. Once on the outside you can get into the waves pretty easy with a 9'0 board.

It can hold alot of people, so its great when respectful, skilled surfers come and visit. it takes care of itself at size. Everyone welcome as long as they pack their trash, don't drop in, and don't bail their board. This place can get epic, near perfection in the fall when a late season south swell is running. Respect and enjoy. Atmosphere: cold and choppy, exposed to wind, swell and lots of really big sharks, only epic and glassy in the fall, with occasional exceptions year round. everyone is very friendly IF you hold onto your board and dont drop in. could drown real easy here if you dont know what your doing. Doran Beach, to the south, is a much better learning spot. Very, very sharky. Several attacks here in last 10 years. Also getting progressively more crowded. Gets around 50 guys out on any given weekend day when its not to big. However, big stretch of beach, so it can hold a crowd. Also, very pretty beach, natural surroundings, pack your trash! south end of beach is all sand dunes and beach grass, north end gets rocky with cliffs. the beach is seperated by the beautiful, sand-bar creating, shark attracting salmon creek. Most people surf near the mouth of the creek, can always find empty, surfable wave to the south. Additional Info: dont need much skill if its small, but gotta be experienced if its big, paddle can get gnarly. get the longest rides on good souths. can be mushy after a nice drop, but can also get hollow and long. kinda like ocean beach, but one notch less gnarly. if beginner/trannie, find a peak to yourself down the beach and leave the better peaks to the skilled locals.

Definitely worth a look anytimg you're in the Cape Cross region. Additional Info: Very long lefthand pointbreak, that works and looks simular to Cape cross. Perfect and with less seals around. I dont think it is factory point, it is further north from there. **Update 9/11/08: This is a tremendous point. The wave peels perfectly over a soft, flat reef covered with a perfect bank of sand. The beach here faces NNW, so the constant South wind is offshore/cross-shore. There are not that many seals around probably because this is probably the best shark fishing spots in all of Namibia.

You'll arrive on the dune of sand and then you'll be able to pick up your spot as you have a view of the whole area. Normally the wind is offshore from 6h a.m. to 11h a.m. and then sometimes in the evening after 18h p.m. Some days you'll have like 15 meters to paddle out to the line up and on other days you can have like 80 meters with strong current when there are big waves (+ 2.5 meters)." } ["2205"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "3265" [1]=> string(9) "Indonesia" [2]=> string(18) "East Nusa Tenggara" [3]=> string(17) "Rote Ndao Regency" [4]=> string(0) "" [5]=> string(13) "T Land Bommie" [6]=> string(13) "t-land-bommie" [7]=> string(12) "-10.88049951" [8]=> string(12) "122.81313846" [9]=> string(87) "It breaks about 1km north from T Land in the open ocean on bigger days and lower tides."

One is nearby the Atlantic Playa Hotel where the sea is mostly flat with small till moderate waves and you have the other side nearby medano beach where you can ride the nice and big waves and have the most beautiful jumps.But be carefull because of the rocks!!!

The best is east's swell When Itapuca breaks the all the locate surf go there, and make sometimes unsurfable. Additional Info: The frequency is not good, breaks only with big east swells. There are two spots in Itapuca: Tapete, the waves breaks only for right and Canal that breaks to the both sides. The bottom is made of rocks and sand, although it is not a dangerous spot. A good spot for beginners when the waves size doesn't exceed 1m. Localism is always present when Itapuca breaks classic. + Easy to get there. Easy to park, and easy having fun despite the crowd. + In Itapuca there are 3 diferents spots, The first one is the Tapete that is locate between two rocks, the Indio's rock and the Fileira's rock in the Tapete exist a rock tha is locate in the outside, this rock is called Peixe Porco's rock and in a god day with 0,5 meter wave, stay close this rock when the waves start to break to you drop easier, when the waves are bigger stays some meters behind the rock, close other rock, that are called Espedito's rock this is other spot, when the wave breaks in Espedito´s rock if you drop you can walk a good distance, you can even arrive at the middle of the beach, when the surfer do that whe call the wave Praião ou Big Beach. The third spot is locate between the Itapuca's rock and other small rock, in this spot you can drop 3 diferents waves, when the waves are not big you can drop fast and fun waves that whe call kikortas, there two rocks in the bottom that makes two bubbles and to drop the waves you can be close this bubbles. The other wave is called Primeira and you drop close to the first big rock in the outside, the waves must has a size to break in the first stone, this waves is powerful and fast, and the third wave in this spot breaks on the second rock in the outside and whe calls this wave Segunda, it is a powerful and fast wave. So if you never surf in this rock's bottom spot, you have to know somethings to make surf well in this spot. First learn the names of the rocks and the waves that breaks in this spot, learn where the waves breaks, learn where the rocks in the bottom are locate, to not be afraid with the rocks and be come a friend of a local surfer and good waves ! + Has several distinct peaks, the big part rights, one close to the other, like Que Corta, Primeira, Segunda, Fileira, Peixe-porco, Expedito, Passagem, Lage, Prainha and Praião, and others.

Mosquitos and sand flies are the worst iv'e ever seen. Camping is free in some places if you consume food and drinks ( take care of your belongings as theft is a big problem).

It's a very long paddle to the peak but at the same time you get very very long rides." } ["2263"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "3351" [1]=> string(5) "Spain" [2]=> string(8) "Canarias" [3]=> string(2) "TF" [4]=> string(9) "La Caleta" [5]=> string(18) "La Caleta de adeje" [6]=> string(18) "la-caleta-de-adeje" [7]=> string(10) "28.1031779" [8]=> string(12) "-16.75706863" [9]=> string(55) "At la caleta de adeje in the harbour of lado del muelle" [10]=> string(23) "Instant access (<5 min)" [11]=> string(3) "Yes" [12]=> string(2) "No" [13]=> string(3) "Yes" [14]=> string(12) "Reef (rocky)" [15]=> string(14) "Right and left" [16]=> string(10) "Flat rocks" [17]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [18]=> string(23) "Regular (100 days/year)" [19]=> string(18) "Long (150 to 300m)" [20]=> string(23) "Very Long (300 to 500m)" [21]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [22]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [23]=> string(9) "10ft-12ft" [24]=> string(13) "16ft and over" [25]=> string(9) "All tides" [26]=> string(11) "Rising tide" [27]=> string(11) "Few surfers" [28]=> string(11) "Few surfers" [29]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [30]=> string(46) "there is a wave for either side when it is big" } ["2264"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "3352" [1]=> string(11) "New Zealand" [2]=> string(13) "Bay of Plenty" [3]=> string(0) "" [4]=> string(6) "Ōhope" [5]=> string(20) "Ohope Beach West End" [6]=> string(20) "ohope-beach-west-end" [7]=> string(12) "-37.95543267" [8]=> string(12) "177.02519417" [9]=> string(94) "Turn left at bottom of Ohope Hill and drive along sealed road say 2km; carparks at end of road" [10]=> string(23) "Instant access (<5 min)" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(7) "Unknown" [14]=> string(11) "Beach break" [15]=> string(10) "Don't know" [16]=> string(5) "Sandy" [17]=> string(25) "a:1:{i:0;s:8:"Ordinary";}" [18]=> string(31) "Sometimes breaks (50 days/year)" [19]=> string(12) "Short (<50m)" [20]=> string(19) "Normal (50 to 150m)" [21]=> string(26) "a:1:{i:0;s:9:"SouthWest";}" [22]=> string(41) "a:2:{i:0;s:4:"East";i:1;s:9:"NorthEast";}" [23]=> string(13) "Less than 3ft" [24]=> string(4) "6ft+" [25]=> string(17) "Mid and high tide" [26]=> string(10) "Don't know" [27]=> string(5) "Empty" [28]=> string(7) "Crowded" [29]=> string(41) "a:2:{i:0;s:5:"Rocks";i:1;s:8:"Localism";}" [30]=> string(0) "" } ["2265"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "3354" [1]=> string(13) "United States" [2]=> string(10) "California" [3]=> string(14) "Ventura County" [4]=> string(6) "Malibu" [5]=> string(11) "County Line" [6]=> string(11) "county-line" [7]=> string(11) "34.05197496" [8]=> string(13) "-118.96086752" [9]=> string(76) "If you are coming from LA flip an immediate U turn.

It gets mediocre when there is a solid swell and the wave is sucking up off the rocks. For an additional rush, go left. Itll pull you over the rocks and you can see the boils rising up the wave face. Heavier than Teahupoo, but still a challenge to beat the wave. If your a beginner, Zuma is a fun beachbreak that can hammer you into the sand. Catch it in the morning before the wind gets on it.

Additional Info: This is about as remote as you can get on the UK mainland. I've visited twice for a total of 7 days, and never seen another surfer. Never seen another person in the water. It's a long sandy beach, with a couple of central rock outcrops which break up the swell lines and make for interesting waves, and also offer a bit of shelter on paddle outs in some conditions. Hard to call the waves, (not being a regular!)but a combination of sand bars, the rock outcrops, and also a hint of a point break at the southern end on the rising tide all means there is stacks to work with. Exposed beach, it will pick up any swell going (usually a couple of feet more than Oldshoremore - which you can see just off the road on the way there) it also gets hideously blown out." } ["2272"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "3365" [1]=> string(9) "Indonesia" [2]=> string(4) "Bali" [3]=> string(15) "Gianyar Regency" [4]=> string(0) "" [5]=> string(7) "Ketewel" [6]=> string(7) "ketewel" [7]=> string(11) "-8.64680027" [8]=> string(12) "115.28031349" [9]=> string(100) "hard to find but check out map. east coast 2km away from padang galak. near the s patasn rivermouth."

Only use the groyne to get out to the main peak if you are very comfortable surfing reefs with difficult entry/exits, climbing on very slippery rocks, duckdiving set waves without bailing your board, and sharing a competitive tight take-off zone without stepping on any toes. you might get some silent treatment and cold stares from the "this-is-my-wave" crew, but that is just the locals being protective (bless em!). Additional Info: Aberavon picks up as much swell as gennith perhaps more if the direction is right . Its pretty exposed and only really works on mid-high tide. There are a few chioces of wave here . The first point is mainly for the ripping locals , swell bounces off the breakwater and creates a nice steep powerfull wave (lefts mostly) Further along th beach are several other places to surf all with good quality and power The water can be really bad and it can get pretty hectic in winter. Get out well before high tide on big swells otherwise you will be in trouble cos the waves bounce off the man made breakwater and cause havoc.

Additional Info: mini pipe is really fast in sections and tends to close out further down the line so dont get caught to deep for the barrel.

The course of a year will see solid head+ barrels in 40 degree murky spring-time water to long mushy longboard lines in the summer to the fall surf where everyone except for the Hawaiian North Shore's big wave chargers can find some great sessions. Atmosphere: You couldn't find a more relaxed beach on the South end of LBI. Much less competitive than neighboring Taylor Avenue or Holyoke Ave and Wooden Jetty, the locals for the most part are extremely accepting of surfers of all skill levels. During the summer the beach is guarded during the summer by two veteran guards combining for 7 seasons on 5th street. One of two has even guarded as far away as the Gold Coast in Queensland Australia. The beach is a pretty even split between summertime families and weekly tourists. In the evening watch out for the blue shorts of the lifeguards just getting off of work as this is one of their favorite spots to paddle out after work. When you see them go out of your way to say hi, and they will watch your back not only from water hazards but also from the occasional surfer mouthing off. During the offseason the beach is quiet. Often frequented only by a few of the islands older locals sitting in the pavilion and a fisherman or two checking out the standing rip that invariably forms later in the summer just south of the pavilion. Additional Info: During a hot summer day look North as you walk past the white pavilion for the surfing zone (black and white checkered flags). There you will often find longer rights peeling off towards Taylor and short steep lefts. During the fall and winter storms (and summer dawn and dusk patrol) look South for a good right off the 3rd St jetty." } ["2349"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "3485" [1]=> string(13) "United States" [2]=> string(10) "California" [3]=> string(16) "Del Norte County" [4]=> string(13) "Crescent City" [5]=> string(12) "Garth's Reef" [6]=> string(11) "garths-reef" [7]=> string(11) "41.77067154" [8]=> string(13) "-124.24425602" [9]=> string(16) "Off Pebble Beach" [10]=> string(10) "Don't know" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(7) "Unknown" [14]=> string(11) "Point break" [15]=> string(5) "Right" [16]=> string(30) "Reef (coral, sharp rocks etc.)" [17]=> string(20) "a:1:{i:0;s:3:"Fun";}" [18]=> string(31) "Sometimes breaks (50 days/year)" [19]=> string(10) "Don't know" [20]=> string(10) "Don't know" [21]=> string(42) "a:2:{i:0;s:5:"North";i:1;s:9:"NorthEast";}" [22]=> string(61) "a:3:{i:0;s:9:"NorthWest";i:1;s:4:"West";i:2;s:9:"SouthWest";}" [23]=> string(7) "5ft-6ft" [24]=> string(5) "10ft+" [25]=> string(16) "Low and mid tide" [26]=> string(10) "Don't know" [27]=> string(5) "Empty" [28]=> string(5) "Empty" [29]=> string(33) "a:1:{i:0;s:15:"Rips / undertow";}" [30]=> string(40) "Works only with the large winter swells." } ["2350"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "3486" [1]=> string(6) "France" [2]=> string(18) "Nouvelle-Aquitaine" [3]=> string(22) "Pyrénées-Atlantiques" [4]=> string(8) "Biarritz" [5]=> string(28) "Biarritz - Plage de Marbella" [6]=> string(26) "biarritz-plage-de-marbella" [7]=> string(11) "43.46911678" [8]=> string(11) "-1.57455325" [9]=> string(61) "this spot rocks, definitely for keen bodyboarders or surfers."

Look for winds out of the NW on an incoming tide. There's a Birch Bay webcam pointed at the point in the State Park and this is the best way to see if there are any waves breaking. Usually only 1-2 people will be at this spot, but on good days there may be a mix of surfers, SUP surfers, kayaks, and surf skis but everyone gets along. Additional Info: Seaman Spit In Birch Bay State Park breaks 15-20 times a year or more. While it's difficult to predict and requires good winds out of the NW, W or SW for swell it's a fun small wave with a nice shape that holds for 75-100 yards down the shoreline in the state park.

Also at really low tide and a decent swell the wave gets really hollow but breaks in super swallow water, great time to get barrels but also an easy way to get hurt or eat a facefull of sand. Additional Info: always cut left otherwise you risk crashing on the rocks Tide really makes this a tough place to surf, outgoing tide creates massive and strong rip that keep you constantly paddling, while incoming tides continually push you towrds the impact zone, not a good place to get caught inside on a big day, very hard go get back out if you get stuck in the impact zone. Best bet on a epic big day is to walk back down the point and hop into the channel/rip which will carry you back to the takeoff zone for another epic ride.

The weakness is the wind. There are normally constant onshore what make the surf normally not as good as it gets. I've seen it brake big. It can work at up to 8' on the right swell. But the biggest it gets, the further you paddle. Atmosphere: The place is great. The water is warm (and mean warm) all year round. On the weekends the beach gets a lot of people. There are like these beach huts where you can get most of the locals culinary to eat and you can have anything to drink (for those how like some booze after the surf). The food is great and people also. The surf can get crowed on weekends but in the summer it's really bad at this spot. How ever there are many good spots around to choose from and most are actually reef brakes. There is no Place Like Salvador Bahia. Additional Info: It's not a hard wave. It can get hollow and fast on good days, so that will probably ask little more of the surfer. The wave is normally not very good on very low tides, it closes out allot and really pounds. We don't get all that much offshore, mostly during the morning time but quite always the wind will turn before noon. The best months are surely April, may, August and September that's when the winds are lighter and offshore is more cumin. If you got a car you can park it right in front of the brake.

When my buddy and I got there, we had a guy trying to convince us to eat at one Ranchito and another guy trying to get us to eat at the one next to it. We finally chose one and they showed us where to could change and leave our stuff. They also showed us nice cheep places to stay. This place is actually a fairly big town full of nice people. There are a couple of fishing equipement stors that recently stared carrying surf gear. You will find whatever you need there. You can pull up a chair at on of the ranchitos at about 6pm and wait for an incredible sunset. Suposidly, surfing is starting to be a big interest for lots of kids there ever since the little surf shops opened. When kids see you with a board they come up to you and ask to check out your board. most of them are learning on their own. If you go, visit one of the shops and if possible buy a Champe surf shirt or something to give them some support. They will always be welcoming and treat you as an old friend. I LOVED the milk shakes too. Additional Info: When you get off of the bus in Champe just go strait on the main street and you won't miss it, in fact just listen and you'll find it. You'll see abunch of little "ranchitos" (small beach restaurants with palm-roof decks facing the beach) all along the beach front. If you brought a car you can park it by the little ranchito where you will be eating (a decent meal will only cost you about 40 Quetzales{less than 5 US Dollars}). Be sure to get there early(6or7am)to catch the best waves.

I like to surf doran during the first few good sized south swells of the year then after that I'm headed south to marin or north to undisclosed spots. longboarders are the bulk of the line up. Additional Info: This spot is only worth visiting if there is a good south swell and winds are offshore which they usually are because of the direction the beach is facing. Another time to visit is during the winter when everywhere else is too big. The wave will close out every once in awhile and almost all the time in winter.

The water stays warm and the waves are generally better at that time of year. Atmosphere: Sandbridge is a barrier island similar top the Outer Banks. Some excellent surfers ride Sandbridge, from the North End to Little Island; Lifeguards are stationed at both ends. About half way down to the park, most experienced surfers park and walk on the beach, or they continue on to Little Island. Best waves come in late summer/fall during the hurricane season. Sandbars shift from season to season and rips can be dangerous. It is a vacation spot where families rent beach houses or homeowners get away from the madness of the Va Bch oceanfront. The southern end of Sandbridge is a pristine environment with no houses or man made obstructions. Back Bay National Wildlife Sanctuary is west and south of Little Island. Show respect and you will be rewarded with a great time in a beautiful natural setting. Additional Info: Once in Sandbridge, drive to Little Island Park(3.5 miles south) to public beach access. Rest rooms and showers provided. Surfing area is north of the pier. Surfers should stay at least 50 yards from pier or people fishing get angry. Usually a sandbar is built up at the end of the peir and has a nice left on south swell." } ["2419"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "3598" [1]=> string(9) "Australia" [2]=> string(15) "New South Wales" [3]=> string(16) "MidCoast Council" [4]=> string(12) "Blueys Beach" [5]=> string(12) "Blueys Beach" [6]=> string(12) "blueys-beach" [7]=> string(12) "-32.35174215" [8]=> string(12) "152.53714085" [9]=> string(160) "Approx. 25km from Foster/Tuncurry.

It is a short walk to the boardwalk then down to the sand. You look out in the straight ahead only to see the groms and the other surfers in the water having fun. Once you take a glance north you see a wave breaking farther out and rolling almost to the shore, there is only a handful of surfers sharing this wave. You take a 12 minute walk or 5 minute jog, drop the towel strap on the leash, walk to the north end of the rocks and paddle out. When you are sitting in the water at this spot, there is what seems to be a private beach club house on the beach to the south. Right in front and to the north, is pretty much the Highland beach area, very nice houses, private beaches. To the south looks like a small shallow bay area which is why Jap Rock sticks out a little farther than the beach area to the south. Have Fun.

Waves here peel perfectly from outside to inside, barrelling the whole way over a shallow bottom that inspires paranoia but creates record-time tube rides. Indeed, this is not a place for timid or inexperienced waveriders. One Palm Point works best on a good-sized swell, a southeasterly and offshore wind, and at a more medium than low tide. It is ridiculously shallow here, so wear any protective gear you can find - which is excellent advice for any surfer heading for the epic waves of Java. everything about the whole place is heavy. it's the most difficult wave i've ever surfed. half the takeoffs are late and the barrels are supertight as you pull in so you need to stay real high which isn't easy if you're airdropping half the time... you want a longer board to get in early, but then a shorter one to maneaver in the pocket. i settled for my 6'6 pintail, but i wish i had dave's 6'4. little bit wider than the standard 6'4 potatoe chip everyone rides so it paddles well and a nice little pintail to tighten it up in the barrel. but back to the wave... it's really just shallow everywhere and runs forever getting more and more shallow (if that's possible) the further you get. incredibly difficult backside wave" } ["2455"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "3658" [1]=> string(13) "United States" [2]=> string(13) "Massachusetts" [3]=> string(12) "Essex County" [4]=> string(10) "Gloucester" [5]=> string(17) "Good Harbor Beach" [6]=> string(17) "good-harbor-beach" [7]=> string(11) "42.61995468" [8]=> string(12) "-70.63151121" [9]=> string(166) "Take 128 to the end in gloucester, follow signs to good harbor beach.

Other parking is avail. but expect your car to be broken into. High theft area. River runoff makes water brown but not as polluted as it used to be. When on, 800 yard waves are possible. Watch out for crocs in the river they've been known to swim out to the lineup! Some lodging available in guest houses just north of the big resort (way over priced).

It's even possible to take off at outside Boneyards, fly through some heartstopping barrels and exit right at Supertubes, then scream obscenities at the numerous jealous surfers trying to drop in on you.

If you don't surf, come here on big gales : the waves can raise before the jetty and collapse on the Lifeboat station (that's a 12 meters distance!).

Excellent when on with thick hooking lines. Often a swirling mess of currents and water. It's never sunny and it's always cold so don't let the picture fool you. Try the Mexican resturant on the main Ave. Great food. Atmosphere: Rockaway can get big, very big. Paddling channel is to the SOUTH of the beach, the rip allows easy access to some very big, thick, and grinding waves on big days. DO NOT ATTEMPT to surf this place on a big day unless you KNOW what you're doing. I've seen too many bodies dragged out of the water here for my liking. Even if the waves are medium sized (8 feet +) you will get crushed out there. It is a small cove with ALOT of water rushing in, it needs somewhere to go- you WILL get caught in currents, be in shape. Us locals don't like risking ourselves to help you. Can't handle? Drive south a mile to Linda-Mar. Additional Info: Rockaway is a sick reef break. North end of beach off headland. 4ft and up. Best wave around when on.Parking free. No facilities. Sharky, Cold, Currenty, and HEAVY. There are some ripping locals and some of them can get nasty... just be respectfull and know your limits. Experienced surfers only, please. There are really three waves, a left at the south end, a peak in the middle and a right at the north corner. Wave holds size and is juicey. Needs conditions to come together. Lots of power and thick lips. Not for beginners when cranking. the rockaway right at the north end gets good twice, maybe three times a year. Also the wave at the south end of the beach is a right that breaks into a deep channel, which is definitely much more consistent than the north end. The left that this poster talked about was probably the left that breaks off the rocks that the guy is surfing in the picture, and it never gets very good." } ["2507"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "3754" [1]=> string(9) "Australia" [2]=> string(10) "Queensland" [3]=> string(14) "Sunshine Coast" [4]=> string(12) "Coolum Beach" [5]=> string(14) "Stummers Creek" [6]=> string(14) "stummers-creek" [7]=> string(12) "-26.51892891" [8]=> string(12) "153.09495449" [9]=> string(75) "You can ether walk or go by car.

Atmosphere: Best asset; located in a protected natural area and you can experiece turles nest on the beach at night and see crocodiles in the mangroves at daytime, one of the number one spots in El Salvador for birdwatching. The beaches are longstreched and clean, an virtually deserted. A must for people who love nature. You can easily access the best national park in the country from here "El Imposible" for a day trip and dug out canoe rides in the mangroves are beautiful...not to mention the sunsets . Additional Info: This spot is located at the tip of the bocana of Barra de Santiago Peninsula. The big sand banks are created by the currents of the estuary by the mangrove behind (where 9 rivers run out). The beauty of this spot is that there is nobody there..only a couple of local surfer kids ..sometimes..most of the time you have the beach for yourself. The breaks are rough, some people break their boards (I've seen it twice). Have seen breaks up to 6 meters. If you want softer waves go down the beach towards vilage where the waves are more mellow and good for beginners. You can park your car at the end of the road, its a very safe area, no thieves around,but there is also a beach hotel located at the end of the road (Capricho Beach House) for overnight trips. There are no sign so just look for the second house after the road ends. www.ximenasguesthouse.com/capricho" } ["2515"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "3763" [1]=> string(5) "Italy" [2]=> string(5) "Lazio" [3]=> string(2) "RM" [4]=> string(15) "Santa Marinella" [5]=> string(23) "Banzai ( S.

Good spot in southerly winds as it is protected by the headland. + Between spot, it's been described by many as the cathedral of surf beaks (yeh it's true i did make that up) with cliffs on both sides of the break that provide great viewing spots. It's often the case that you're sitting out there by yourself in the morning in a perfect six foot day sharing the waves with dolphins. Additional Info: Once you park your car on the dirt road. Take a look on the headland. To get out don't go down the cliff. Go round to the right around it and paddle out through the gutter. This is a mad spot because when it's happening everyone always heads to Lennox or North Fall and tend to forget boulders. It also tends to be uncrowded because you have to rock off and many people just don't bother. This also results in no kooks so you're free to rip in peace. A rising tide is the best to go because it can ocasionally be to full on the high tide. Its a long wave,enough to rip the face apart so have fun and try keep it quiet." } ["2538"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "3793" [1]=> string(14) "United Kingdom" [2]=> string(7) "England" [3]=> string(8) "Cornwall" [4]=> string(0) "" [5]=> string(12) "Chapel Porth" [6]=> string(12) "chapel-porth" [7]=> string(11) "50.30052492" [8]=> string(11) "-5.23532867" [9]=> string(0) "" [10]=> string(21) "Short walk (5-15 min)" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(3) "Yes" [14]=> string(11) "Beach break" [15]=> string(5) "Right" [16]=> string(15) "Sandy with rock" [17]=> string(25) "a:1:{i:0;s:8:"Powerful";}" [18]=> string(31) "Sometimes breaks (50 days/year)" [19]=> string(10) "Don't know" [20]=> string(10) "Don't know" [21]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [22]=> string(21) "a:1:{i:0;s:4:"West";}" [23]=> string(7) "3ft-5ft" [24]=> string(4) "6ft+" [25]=> string(16) "Low and mid tide" [26]=> string(10) "Don't know" [27]=> string(11) "Few surfers" [28]=> string(7) "Crowded" [29]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [30]=> string(0) "" } ["2539"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "3796" [1]=> string(9) "Indonesia" [2]=> string(0) "" [3]=> string(0) "" [4]=> string(0) "" [5]=> string(31) "Mushroom beach (Nusa Lembongan)" [6]=> string(29) "mushroom-beach-nusa-lembongan" [7]=> string(11) "-8.68163169" [8]=> string(12) "115.43295264" [9]=> string(313) "Take the boat and reach the Coconut Hotel.Walk inside the jungle and find Mushroom Hotel.There's a beautiful beach down there.There is the spot.ITS JUST AROUND A HEAD LAND FROM THE PONTOONS.

Additional Info: This spot starts wortking at 2m, so the wave has always a lot of energy and break very powerful. I had there some serious holddowns and contact with the sandy bottom. So in my opinion this spot is most of the time no suitable for beginners. The left part of the beach (Sardinero II) picks up less swell then the right part.

Currents are not too bad here compared to alot of other nearby spots but it is Namibia, so that means lots of big fish to watch out for. I think this is private property so watch out not to get caught, though never seen any around to worry too much. By boat will definately be easier. You could park and launch it from the beach over the headland from the wave, in another bay where theres less swell. Additional Info: A classic righthand breaking wedge in the namib desert. The wave itself is a pretty ugly beast. The swell comes in from deep water and hits a shallow reef so at first it breaks as a reef break. This is the take off zone. Fast, powerful, and very shallow (about 2 feet of water) hold on to your balls and charge it hard. Try not to wipe out here cause you'll eat reef. It peaks close to a rock ledge extending out infront of it, so the swell retracts and moves back from the shore creating a perfect and super hollow wedge that eventually closes out in a heavy shorey style on the beach.

Additional Info: Oxwich needs a VERY big swell to start working. Generally Llangennith needs to be over 6ft before you see any sign of a wave breaking. The best spot for the bay is right infront of the car park. When the place is 'on', word spreads very quick...with the right conditions it barrels sweeeeetly. The bay is a fun wave but....if you get there at the right tide (preferably on an outgoing high tide), there are a couple of other better spots in the vacinity...If you look out about 200m from the beach there's a point break right up next to the edge of the rocks, next to the cliff.... If you put in the effort to check it out, you'll be pleasently surprised to find one of the best semi-secret reef spots on the Gower. Once you get to the point, look about 100m to your right and you'll find Oxwich Reef which, if the bay is 3ft and the point is 4ft, will be about 6ft. It's a superb reef with a fast, hollow take off over a very shallow rocky bottom....The reef, like the bay, doesn't break all that often...but when it does make the effort to get out there...you'll have a big smile on your face and be pleased that you made the effort..." } ["2600"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "3889" [1]=> string(11) "The Bahamas" [2]=> string(15) "North Eleuthera" [3]=> string(0) "" [4]=> string(10) "Alice Town" [5]=> string(15) "Smugglers Beach" [6]=> string(15) "smugglers-beach" [7]=> string(11) "25.34016202" [8]=> string(12) "-76.43474936" [9]=> string(237) "When driving from Gregory Town to Rainbow Bay on the Queens Highway turn left at the Rainbow Inn.

It just to be a spanish settlement. South of the town, in the harbour is a other spot. It works when it is big though only. From the harbourwall breaks a right wave into deeper water and also in front of the reef. very nice spot,they caught a 3m white shark here a couple of years ago, a lot of people know the spot better than me i think and could give better swell and wind indications, the basic feeling was very nice, both locals and internationals surf here, there are thre waves here, a right, a beachbrake out front and a left, i am a clumsy surfer but i did manage to get the right wave once the town is not so big so there is hardly any hassle. Additional Info: The spot is in the center, when you want to camp close by, there is a camping which is almost for free a bit more south into the city along the cliffs overlooking the ocean.

But as always, the locals know their spot, and due respect is needed. Additional Info: The Womb is a short but punchy wave that often attracts boggie boarders, but also has plenty to offer stand ups with balls of steel. The take off pitches you straight into the barrel, so no lazy stand ups here. Once your up, you're treated to a relatively short and intense barrel section that may spit you out, or alternatively, will meet with the wave that breaks the opposite way, forcing you to pull out or get nailed in the tube. Some amazing barrels can be had here on clean days with the break starting to really turn on above head height.

Can be frustrating waiting for a wave but youll get one eventually. Dont get caught on the inside or you're in trouble. Many have broken boards and some serious injuries have occured here. Its a fast and very powerful wave that needs to be raced through. Additional Info: A classic righthand pointbreak tucked away in the Reserve, on the False Bay side. Befriend a local if you want to surf it. It is fiercely protected. Needs an enormous swell - a 15-20' South swell - to push into the swell window that protects False Bay from the brunt of the ocean. When it's working, the veterans venture from the woodwork, or should that be a woodie panel van? It's a difficult wave to master because it holds off in deep water, then suddenly jacks up on the outside of this point and races down the rocks into a small bay. Buffels only starts working at about 6', and can be inconsistent unless the swell is coming from a mega cyclonic system out to sea. But once you've caught a wave, you get a classic walling wave that runs for a good long time." } ["2682"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "4028" [1]=> string(5) "Palau" [2]=> string(8) "Melekeok" [3]=> string(0) "" [4]=> string(0) "" [5]=> string(8) "melekeok" [6]=> string(8) "melekeok" [7]=> string(10) "7.49101796" [8]=> string(12) "134.64157104" [9]=> string(57) "can see the break from land,200 meters off the east coast" [10]=> string(23) "Instant access (<5 min)" [11]=> string(2) "No" [12]=> string(3) "Yes" [13]=> string(3) "Yes" [14]=> string(12) "Reef (coral)" [15]=> string(14) "Right and left" [16]=> string(30) "Reef (coral, sharp rocks etc.)" [17]=> string(56) "a:3:{i:0;s:6:"Hollow";i:1;s:8:"Powerful";i:2;s:3:"Fun";}" [18]=> string(31) "Sometimes breaks (50 days/year)" [19]=> string(19) "Normal (50 to 150m)" [20]=> string(19) "Normal (50 to 150m)" [21]=> string(21) "a:1:{i:0;s:4:"West";}" [22]=> string(21) "a:1:{i:0;s:4:"East";}" [23]=> string(7) "3ft-5ft" [24]=> string(4) "8ft+" [25]=> string(17) "Mid and high tide" [26]=> string(24) "Rising and falling tides" [27]=> string(11) "Few surfers" [28]=> string(11) "Few surfers" [29]=> string(49) "a:2:{i:0;s:15:"Rips / undertow";i:1;s:5:"Rocks";}" [30]=> string(249) "A beautiful spot lots of fun,friendly locals an amazing country Atmosphere: beautiful crystal clear water,loads of marine life,boardshort material,no surf shops,take your own repair kit,wax etc Additional Info: very fickle,but awesome when working" } ["2683"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "4030" [1]=> string(12) "South Africa" [2]=> string(13) "KwaZulu-Natal" [3]=> string(25) "Ugu District Municipality" [4]=> string(14) "Port Shepstone" [5]=> string(12) "Sunwich Port" [6]=> string(12) "sunwich-port" [7]=> string(12) "-30.66680119" [8]=> string(11) "30.51424742" [9]=> string(44) "Roughly 5 minute drive south of Banana Beach" [10]=> string(21) "Short walk (5-15 min)" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(3) "Yes" [14]=> string(12) "Reef (rocky)" [15]=> string(5) "Right" [16]=> string(30) "Reef (coral, sharp rocks etc.)" [17]=> string(57) "a:3:{i:0;s:6:"Hollow";i:1;s:4:"Fast";i:2;s:8:"Powerful";}" [18]=> string(31) "Sometimes breaks (50 days/year)" [19]=> string(12) "Short (<50m)" [20]=> string(19) "Normal (50 to 150m)" [21]=> string(41) "a:2:{i:0;s:9:"NorthWest";i:1;s:4:"West";}" [22]=> string(21) "a:1:{i:0;s:4:"East";}" [23]=> string(7) "3ft-5ft" [24]=> string(4) "8ft+" [25]=> string(17) "Mid and high tide" [26]=> string(11) "Rising tide" [27]=> string(5) "Empty" [28]=> string(5) "Empty" [29]=> string(39) "a:2:{i:0;s:5:"Rocks";i:1;s:6:"Sharks";}" [30]=> string(224) "rarely anyone in the water.

On the north side of the beach, breaks a very fast and long left, with too much barrels, that works best with east sweel and northeast winds." } ["2686"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "4033" [1]=> string(11) "New Zealand" [2]=> string(10) "Canterbury" [3]=> string(0) "" [4]=> string(12) "Christchurch" [5]=> string(15) "Taylors mistake" [6]=> string(15) "taylors-mistake" [7]=> string(12) "-43.58269134" [8]=> string(12) "172.77706861" [9]=> string(47) "Over the hill from scarborough and New Brighton" [10]=> string(23) "Instant access (<5 min)" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(3) "Yes" [14]=> string(11) "Beach break" [15]=> string(14) "Right and left" [16]=> string(5) "Sandy" [17]=> string(39) "a:2:{i:0;s:8:"Ordinary";i:1;s:3:"Fun";}" [18]=> string(10) "Don't know" [19]=> string(12) "Short (<50m)" [20]=> string(19) "Normal (50 to 150m)" [21]=> string(26) "a:1:{i:0;s:9:"NorthWest";}" [22]=> string(22) "a:1:{i:0;s:5:"South";}" [23]=> string(13) "Less than 3ft" [24]=> string(4) "6ft+" [25]=> string(10) "Don't know" [26]=> string(10) "Don't know" [27]=> string(11) "Few surfers" [28]=> string(11) "Few surfers" [29]=> string(49) "a:2:{i:0;s:15:"Rips / undertow";i:1;s:5:"Rocks";}" [30]=> string(63) "awesome Atmosphere: Wicked happy Additional Info: Car parking" } ["2687"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "4034" [1]=> string(7) "Ukraine" [2]=> string(13) "Odessa Oblast" [3]=> string(0) "" [4]=> string(5) "Odesa" [5]=> string(7) "Arcadia" [6]=> string(7) "arcadia" [7]=> string(11) "46.42826645" [8]=> string(11) "30.76848865" [9]=> string(30) "Odessa, Arcadia, Central beach" [10]=> string(23) "Instant access (<5 min)" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(3) "Yes" [14]=> string(11) "Beach break" [15]=> string(14) "Right and left" [16]=> string(5) "Sandy" [17]=> string(20) "a:1:{i:0;s:3:"Fun";}" [18]=> string(31) "Sometimes breaks (50 days/year)" [19]=> string(12) "Short (<50m)" [20]=> string(12) "Short (<50m)" [21]=> string(42) "a:2:{i:0;s:5:"South";i:1;s:9:"SouthEast";}" [22]=> string(42) "a:2:{i:0;s:5:"South";i:1;s:9:"SouthEast";}" [23]=> string(7) "3ft-5ft" [24]=> string(4) "3ft+" [25]=> string(10) "Don't know" [26]=> string(10) "Don't know" [27]=> string(5) "Empty" [28]=> string(11) "Few surfers" [29]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [30]=> string(0) "" } ["2688"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "4037" [1]=> string(9) "Indonesia" [2]=> string(13) "North Sumatra" [3]=> string(17) "West Nias Regency" [4]=> string(0) "" [5]=> string(3) "Asu" [6]=> string(3) "asu" [7]=> string(10) "0.86737181" [8]=> string(11) "97.33354568" [9]=> string(76) "By local boats from Sirombu or from Lagundri.

If you`re in Jandia and had no luck because of bad surf conditions (which is the normal situation) and you are not willing to drive the dirt road to Salinas at this day or the long way to the northshore, then you can also go sailing, windsurfing or diving at the Robinson Hotel. Jandia is a very touristic place like some other villages on Fuerte, but visit Moro el Jable, the old part of the town, which is more lovely with excellent fish restaurants and bars in the centre. Beneath some very cool medium groundswell sets I also had proper windswell-sessions with double-rainbows and countless waves around 1 m for 2x3 hours per day till sunset on 6 days in one week. I do remember that so clearly, because it was my last week before I left the island in march 2013. Atmosphere: There is too much swell in the north? Drive south direction Salinas and have a look on the swell and periode forecast for Cruz Roja at sandy beach near the light tower of Jandia/ Moro el Jable. Very often there are only rather beginner conditions with nearly flat water. But if your are lucky, you can have a very yummy surf with perfect sets of more than overshoulder-waves coming from south-east for hours, twice a day. This beachy spot will only run a few times per season, but then it can be amazing. You surely won´t be alone in the water this time, because all the foreign and local pro guys from the whole island will be with you. The waves are very powerful and there is also a possibility of undertows in the curve. Ask the life guard, while he keeps tourists out of the water, when they try to ignore the red flag to swim in the surfzone, which is a dangerous idea at this point. If it brings you too close to the beach, take the easy (right) way around the sets over the sandbank to come in again. If you`re a beginner or intermediate (like me): Relax! Stay on the beach on this day, take some photos and learn from watching the big boys (you won`t be alone). Come again the next morning. There is also a good chance for some good days before and after the high-wave day with quite nice small and medium wave sets at different tides. And there are also days with good windswell conditions (when coming from north-east for some days) for fun beach waves over the harmless sandy ground. In this case the spot moves 100 m south towards the light tower. If you`re very early in the water, you might have them all on your own. But the whole spot situation runs mostly not constantly and it can happen, that you`re alone on the beach at sunrise, but without surfable waves. It also depends on the sandbank, which will change it`s shape while the windy weeks. A general problem can be a strong off-shore wind. At least there is a chance to meet a few crazy locals / boogy-boarders too, but it depends on your surf skill to find your way. Additional Info: Park your car at the street near the light tower of Jandia, take your board and walk 300m over the wooden footbridge (the one which is left to the tower) across the salt meadow (protection ground area) directly to the beachspot.

Atmosphere: The atmosphere at this spot is laid back. Basically only the locals know about this spot because it breaks infrequently. The paddle out can be dodgy on a big day. WShen jumping off the rock wall, make sure you pick the sets right. The large sets break heavily onto the rock wall. Getting out on a big day is also tricky. Paddle into the river mouth where there is a small section of gravel beach (about 8 m wide) on the northern side of the river mouth. Do not, repeat, do not get out via the rock wall - you will know why when you see it. Additional Info: Surf this location with a local. The wave breaks off the reef outside the river mouth on 2.5 m plus but this spot is the place to go when all others are closed out and the crossing to Sumatra is closed for ferries due to big swell. It breaks way out and forms long walling lefts. On smaller days it breaks off the reef in front of the river mouth - fast left reef break. Is not a consistent wave but if you get a late glass off on a big stormy swell, the session will be one to remember." } ["2703"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "4058" [1]=> string(5) "Japan" [2]=> string(8) "Miyazaki" [3]=> string(0) "" [4]=> string(7) "Kushima" [5]=> string(10) "Nagatazaki" [6]=> string(10) "nagatazaki" [7]=> string(11) "31.40572811" [8]=> string(12) "131.23323441" [9]=> string(0) "" [10]=> string(21) "Short walk (5-15 min)" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(3) "Yes" [14]=> string(11) "Point break" [15]=> string(4) "Left" [16]=> string(30) "Reef (coral, sharp rocks etc.)" [17]=> string(25) "a:1:{i:0;s:8:"Powerful";}" [18]=> string(27) "Rarely breaks (5 days/year)" [19]=> string(18) "Long (150 to 300m)" [20]=> string(18) "Long (150 to 300m)" [21]=> string(22) "a:1:{i:0;s:5:"North";}" [22]=> string(42) "a:2:{i:0;s:5:"South";i:1;s:9:"SouthEast";}" [23]=> string(7) "5ft-6ft" [24]=> string(4) "12ft" [25]=> string(10) "Don't know" [26]=> string(10) "Don't know" [27]=> string(10) "Don't know" [28]=> string(10) "Don't know" [29]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [30]=> string(58) "On a big SE typhoon.

Experienced surfers only as when firing it can be one of the heaviest waves in Cornwall breaking boards and worse.... BEWARE: Very Heavy shore break at High Tide that can make entering / exiting the water difficult and hazardous for the less experienced. Avoid surfing right to the beach around High Tide as you can find yourself on a 5 foot lip breaking into an inch of water!!! Also, there's a backwash to beware from the rocks that can cause spectacular explosions of water. You wouldn't want to be in them! Additional Info: Park in the national trust car park.This beach and those next to it Green Bay and Pedne Vedna are sporadic in the quality of the wave, it's very fickle, but occassionally it goes off holding hollow waves up to four or five feet, locals have seen and surfed bigger in the winter. It's an incredibly beautiful beach listed before in Elle magazine as being in the top 10 most beautiful in the worlld! I've seen and surfed it in decent conditions in the spring and autumn back in the mid 80's at 4' - 6'. It does suffer from breaking mid tide quite close to the cliff between Green Bay and Pedne Vedna and the waves bounce off the cliff and back out to sea with a phenomenal affect." } ["2724"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "4086" [1]=> string(13) "United States" [2]=> string(14) "North Carolina" [3]=> string(13) "Pender County" [4]=> string(9) "Surf City" [5]=> string(14) "Surf City Pier" [6]=> string(14) "surf-city-pier" [7]=> string(11) "34.42553172" [8]=> string(12) "-77.54480839" [9]=> string(43) "Beach access on both sides of fishing pier."

The wave starts with an exciting drop, followed by a nice powerful bowl on which you can typically do a nice re-entry. After that it slowly begins to fade. The nice thing about this spot is that you seldom have to contend with whitewater, as there is a deep channel with a rip that helps you out to the break. To paddle out, you have two options. The first, for experts only, is to walk out on the rocks and jump in right at the break between sets. 'course if your timing is bad you'll get clobbered. The suggested method is to paddle out in a 6 foot gap in the rocks on the right hand side of the beach. There is a permanent rip there that sucks you out in no time. The trickier part of this spot is getting back to shore. Head straight for that 6 foot gap in the rocks - it's by far the easiest. On big days be really careful. A big whitewater can easily sweep you past the gap when you try and come in, leaving you with a dangerous swim in over some jagged, mussel-covered reef." } ["2779"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "4171" [1]=> string(6) "Russia" [2]=> string(15) "Sankt-Peterburg" [3]=> string(0) "" [4]=> string(15) "Sankt-Peterburg" [5]=> string(8) "Atlantis" [6]=> string(8) "atlantis" [7]=> string(11) "60.14377477" [8]=> string(11) "29.92635012" [9]=> string(0) "" [10]=> string(23) "Instant access (<5 min)" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(3) "Yes" [14]=> string(11) "Beach break" [15]=> string(14) "Right and left" [16]=> string(5) "Sandy" [17]=> string(37) "a:2:{i:0;s:6:"Hollow";i:1;s:3:"Fun";}" [18]=> string(31) "Sometimes breaks (50 days/year)" [19]=> string(12) "Short (<50m)" [20]=> string(12) "Short (<50m)" [21]=> string(21) "a:1:{i:0;s:4:"West";}" [22]=> string(61) "a:3:{i:0;s:9:"NorthWest";i:1;s:4:"West";i:2;s:9:"SouthWest";}" [23]=> string(7) "3ft-5ft" [24]=> string(4) "3ft+" [25]=> string(9) "All tides" [26]=> string(10) "Don't know" [27]=> string(5) "Empty" [28]=> string(5) "Empty" [29]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [30]=> string(269) "All spots near Saint-Petersburg(except Mis Flotsky) has only windy swell waves.

Or check out the hostel about 100 yards south of the arches leading to the campground - easy to find as its painted iridescent blue. Hot showers, ocean view and a billards table for when its flat. Liquor store also in hotel to buy ice and wood or fires. Atmosphere: Fairly reliable and consistent wave. Breaks from 1' to 6'+. La Fonda is a nice change from the dirtier beach breaks to the north (Rosarito) as here you can usually expect decent water quality. Also it has a nice stretch of beach any time of year where you can usually find an uncrowded peak. Additional Info: Parking in camping area right off mex 1 costs $10 for the day and $16 to camp.

Additional Info: This spot isn't really a point break, but the left is short and hollow on an AVERAGE day (one day it was about head high and i can honestly say, it was a good 100 yards of fast wave, none of that sloppy shit florida is occasionally known for.) The right is better for those who simply love goin off the lip. The inside section moves really fast too. There's a channel to the south, but the paddle out is pretty easy to get out. I would reccomend finding a grocery store parking lot for parking. There ARE no locals, an occasional pack of groms at best. Great spot for those who love the hollow lefts and rolling right.

Additional Info: You can jump off the rocks at Banzai and paddle across the channel if you couln't be bothered paddling out from the beach, IMHO it'll only save you about 5 minutes." } ["2885"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "4334" [1]=> string(9) "Australia" [2]=> string(15) "New South Wales" [3]=> string(13) "Port Stephens" [4]=> string(8) "One Mile" [5]=> string(14) "One Mile Beach" [6]=> string(14) "one-mile-beach" [7]=> string(11) "-32.7739967" [8]=> string(12) "152.12631226" [9]=> string(242) "Just go to Forster and follow the signs to 1 mile beach.

Atmosphere: Once there you might be hit with a feeling of beeing cut off from the world. There will be just you the see and the sand. The summer is when the place is crowded but not a problem as the surfers represent 2% of the people in the water. The accomodation is very cheap you can either visit the local camp site or stay in a guest house. You can even enjoy the luxury of eating out every night for 3USD a meal. Additional Info: The place is absolutely empty in winter (end of sept to dec), you can find very cheap accomodation and the food is even cheaper (local fish). In summer the place can be a little crowded but the locals are very welcoming and willig to share. If you're in the North of Morocco the place is worth visiting.Moulay Bousselham is an excellent spot. It does't need a big swell to work, I've surfed it even in summer and it was 1,5 to 2 metres big (measured from behind) and got barreled very often. The beach (3ieme piscine) can be very crowded in summer, but still the peak doesn't get that full....in winter you'll find every day waves, very big and often with a good offshore wind,best time to surf it. In this time Moulay is pretty empty and not crowded with people like in summer, so visit Moulay and you will see what a magical spot it is, great waves I can tell you." } ["2892"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "4345" [1]=> string(13) "United States" [2]=> string(14) "South Carolina" [3]=> string(12) "Horry County" [4]=> string(14) "Surfside Beach" [5]=> string(13) "Surfside Pier" [6]=> string(13) "surfside-pier" [7]=> string(11) "33.60861492" [8]=> string(12) "-78.97762299" [9]=> string(219) "At Surfside Beach.

Additional Info: There are 3 main spots: 2 in the north corner and another one right in the middle of the beach in front of the white wall that has become the name of the spot "muro branco"." } ["2908"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "4368" [1]=> string(13) "United States" [2]=> string(10) "California" [3]=> string(15) "Humboldt County" [4]=> string(19) "Westhaven-Moonstone" [5]=> string(10) "Camel Rock" [6]=> string(10) "camel-rock" [7]=> string(11) "41.03521958" [8]=> string(13) "-124.12345469" [9]=> string(438) "From 101 north, ~ 12 mi north of Arcata, take the Westhaven Exit.

Quite inhabitated. Not many people but the scenery of the area makes up for the lack of lavatores and so on. Additional Info: Bluff Reef was not a very famous or local spot people would surf. It Requires S-SE winds, 6 foot swell and can hold up to 30 foot. This rigthander also requires a medium to high tide to cover the sharp treacherous reef below. It is located 150m offshore from a cliff boat or long paddle required. It is a big A-Frame take-off that can be imtimidating. It peels for about 40m, it is fast, hollow and extremely powerful. You might need a 7ft plus board to surf it. Advice: Don't try to take-off on the shoulder, you will probably get pitched on to the reef. The peak may seem bigger but it's alot safer. Bluff reef or Shipsterns Bluff is now known as Australias most Heaviest, Biggest and Dangerous surf spot. They say Bluff's when it is doing its thing can match the same power and danger as Pipeline, Hawaii or Teahpoo, Tahiti. Do not surf it unless you know what your doing or you don't care if you die. This Spot is the heavest wave in Australia,and offers the biggest barrel anywhere Australia also, there is a far chance that you could die if you blow the take off when it is solid, If you want to surf this wave just ask someone at the Airport in Hobart Only for absolute dare devils. Hook up with locals to take you there, if you've got the guts, no-one will stop you heading out.Ship Stern is no hoax. It is a serious wave which breaks best on a HUGE SW swell. The prevailing wind patterns of Tasmania are what can make it and surfing in Tasmania as a whole inconsistent. Many local surfers are terrified that a hord of outsiders will inundate the state and spoil there surfing life. But the fact is not many will return because the Antarctic weather patterns that produce Tassies best swells also produce freezing cold water and a changable climate that will leave most short stay visitors wishing they had gone somewhere else. As for Ship Stern there are a number of local surfers who are far from BIG wave experts who surf this wave, and even those whos surf ability is far from a World Class level. But don't get me wrong this is a SERIOUS wave it may NOT be Australias biggest nor HEAVIEST wave but as surf photographer Sean Davey said during the 2001 easter sessions. It is the most dangerous place to surf he had seen. I personaly feel it is only a matter of time before some surf cowboy finds the life smashed out of them on the very close truck sized boulders in front of the wave face. As yet NO ONE has surfed this wave when it is huge. And even the local LEGENDS were far away when the largest SW swell in a long time created 25 foot plus perfect conditions. And I have hardcopy photos of an empty line up to prove that one. All I have to say to the Tassie localism is grow-up ... I think you should show some respect for those outsiders who are willing to surf this place. Most of you, even the hardcore had never even set eyes on the place before it was all exposed in 2001." } ["2930"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "4410" [1]=> string(9) "Australia" [2]=> string(15) "New South Wales" [3]=> string(8) "Waverley" [4]=> string(8) "Vaucluse" [5]=> string(7) "Kahnies" [6]=> string(7) "kahnies" [7]=> string(12) "-33.86002634" [8]=> string(12) "151.28559865" [9]=> string(5) "Boat."

The break is right in the town. Towan needs a huge swell to wrap around the headland, and is usually most consistent in winter. The waves are biggest around low tide and smallest at high tide. At low tide the beach joins up with Great Western, Tolcarne and Lusty Glaze. The waves are bigger the further north you go. The only problem is that it is the longest closeout in the world. Most waves close out at low tide all the way from Towan to Lusty Glaze, with only the occasional peeler. It is always mega crowded though. If it is big enough there will be a decent left behind the harbour. Mid tide is best giving peeling lefts and rights and the occasional closeout. There is a good left off the harbour wall which gets very crowded with locals.

Feels really remote, but unlike the comments above suggest, not remote in a scary way. Cool spot.

Watch out for sharks though - there's a breeding ground somewhere near. Locals will warn you (or refuse to take you out) if the shark problem is bad. Very powerful wave and it's eerie surfing it cos you're between 2 islands, with the waves, as I've already said, coming out of VERY deep water. Take care when surfing!! Additional Info: Deep Water break, throwing out a heap of power. A heap of current runs through here, sucking you towards the point.

Atmosphere: It does indeed break "regularly" in Bolinas, but most of those days might be considered "barely rideable," tiny, mushy, semi-blown. Every few months there will be a couple of days straight with "fun" waves (perhaps shoulder-head high) for a couple hours each day, and once every couple of years there are days with "amazing" waves. Additional Info: Locals usually steal street-signs pointing to Bolinas. Keep a sharp eye. The first of the two breaks is at the mouth of the Bolinas Lagoon. Follow the main road into town until it ends at the beach; you can see the break from there. The other one is a little farther north. You will need to park somewhere else, though. Parking in Bolinas is very limited and on weekends it can be almost impossible. You might have to park on the Mesa, and walk half a mile, or even a mile, from your car down to the beach.

It is best from mid to high but is always crowded no matter the wind, even more so in summer. It is only a beach break so there are no real dangers, it is not very heavy most of the time but now and then with a few days of westerlies and a strong swell you can get worked; even more so as the tide sucks back - you get draged under water for about 5-7m before getting sucked to the bottom it is nothing to bad but you can get held down for a few seconds." } ["2978"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "4481" [1]=> string(5) "Spain" [2]=> string(7) "Galicia" [3]=> string(2) "LU" [4]=> string(0) "" [5]=> string(8) "Foz Area" [6]=> string(8) "foz-area" [7]=> string(11) "43.56248138" [8]=> string(11) "-7.20316887" [9]=> string(74) "All along the coast road.

There are no waves on the western side of the island and most the good breaks are located at the extremes (northern tip= Cocktails and southern edge= The handle and jagged knife reef etc.) NEGATIVE- the island is privately owned by the Seychelles Marketing Board. Lucky I used to manage one of the local shrimp farms with some friends from Mahe and could therefore explore this island which has incredible surfing potential. SUGGESTION- Park your boat off the reef and surf (they dont own the reef) or contact the SMB and ask for permission or get a job as a shrimp packer. Atmosphere: Gnarly wave for pros or kamis can get 16ft on days with no wind during the peak season. The sets just keep rolling in on a good day but on a normal day the waves may not evn be there since the wave is subject to change under windy conditions. Check out Jagged Knife Reef further south if The Handle is not pumping. Additional Info: After paddling for maybe 10 minutes or sitting behind a boat you just might realize how shallow this reef is. The reef is very deep to begin with and then rapidly gets shallower by the metre. (Hence the sharks). Dont worry about the beasties just worry about the shallow reef and the steep take off.

You can usaully spot alot of marine wildlife around like dolphins, porpoises (hence name) seals and there has been the occasional sharkie sighting (dont freak!) It has a stunning backdrop of the catlins and on a good day you can see for miles, and even get a glimpse of stewart island which is cool stuff. The beach is long, one end (west) is protected by the strong NW winds, and the the other is nicely exposed on the smaller days, so its only a matter of walking up and down the beach to find a good bank for the day. Additional Info: It gets good if the other spots around the catlins are either too big or too small. The beach is stunning, and there are never that many people out.

You'll need to do some research on understanding which kanji to look for as some of the photos are of other beaches in yamaguchi or miyazaki. Use the rip by the large rocks in the centre of the beach to paddle outside quickly. Surf only on the right of the large rock (unless you are either Kelly Slater or need a reason to buy a new board!) many submerged razor sharp volcanic rocks dot the break to the left of the big rock. At low tide there is a small rock on the inside which can pose a threat on longer rides on regular waves. Summer is FLAT unless typhoon swell generates in the Japan sea. Waves here can sometimes reach overhead on good storms." } ["3024"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "4547" [1]=> string(11) "New Zealand" [2]=> string(10) "Wellington" [3]=> string(0) "" [4]=> string(10) "Wellington" [5]=> string(7) "Bombers" [6]=> string(7) "bombers" [7]=> string(12) "-41.34418917" [8]=> string(12) "174.79623437" [9]=> string(146) "Bombers is a reef break about 80m from the rocks...To get out you have to paddle through some tumultuous whitewash and then out past the break...."

There is one or two other waves nearby, but the rivermouth is the best one." } ["3036"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "4566" [1]=> string(8) "Portugal" [2]=> string(7) "Madeira" [3]=> string(0) "" [4]=> string(7) "Santana" [5]=> string(5) "Faial" [6]=> string(5) "faial" [7]=> string(11) "32.78837836" [8]=> string(12) "-16.84406877" [9]=> string(0) "" [10]=> string(10) "Don't know" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(7) "Unknown" [14]=> string(10) "Don't know" [15]=> string(10) "Don't know" [16]=> string(10) "Don't know" [17]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [18]=> string(10) "Don't know" [19]=> string(10) "Don't know" [20]=> string(10) "Don't know" [21]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [22]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [23]=> string(10) "Don't know" [24]=> string(10) "Don't know" [25]=> string(10) "Don't know" [26]=> string(10) "Don't know" [27]=> string(10) "Don't know" [28]=> string(10) "Don't know" [29]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [30]=> string(0) "" } ["3037"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "4568" [1]=> string(9) "Australia" [2]=> string(17) "Western Australia" [3]=> string(6) "Harvey" [4]=> string(11) "Leschenault" [5]=> string(13) "Bunbury - Cut" [6]=> string(11) "bunbury-cut" [7]=> string(12) "-33.30216122" [8]=> string(10) "115.666852" [9]=> string(147) "This spot is located behind the inner port where the estuary drains into the sea.

It can also be ridden at only chest high. Sets can swing wide, but getting caught inside isnt too bad. Barrels near takeoff on good days, and can also barrel anywhere down the line, but sometimes closes out. Long paddles, but not too bad. Additional Info: Good right hand wave that picks up swell, usually just a little smaller than T Land. Best at mid tides, high tide a bit too fat and low tide a bit too shallow, but ok at low to mid.

There is so much surf in this country. The Philippines is a wonderful place to visit or call home. No matter where you are in the world if you are a good person things will go usually go better for you then if you are an as#$*^). This spot is a personal favorite do to the atmosphere. Atmosphere: Honestly this is one of the most beautiful places in the world. You can surf, dive, hike, and do all sorts of stuff in this area. The people of Pundakit are some of the best in the Philippines. Simple nice people! You can charge some good swell surf on the miles of open beach, or take a short cheap boat trip out to the Capones Islands where it can get really heavy, or around the corner where there is miles of great surf. This place is only a half hour from Olongapo, where there is other fun stuff to do. 20 minutes from Crystal Beach San Narsico as well. I have never seen localism or hostility in the water, and that is even on some really good days, so if you come visit Pundakit keep it that way. The surf big or small is always fun because of the atmosphere. Respect! Remember a wave is not worth fighting over because there will always be another one. Additional Info: Leave nothing on the beach you want to be there when you get back(lots of curious kids). Better to stay at a local hotel. All surf in walking or boat distance. Probably some of the nicest local people in the country inhabit Pundakit. Many private beach access areas, don't go on private property. RESPECT everyone and don't ruin it. Keep your attitude where you came from, and spend your money in the local community. This is a peaceful place. Oh-ya watch out for the dynamite fisherman!!!! Only a couple local pinoys, and a couple local ex pat white boys surf this spot regular. Most of the surf traffick comes from the Manila surfers during a swell. Really nice group of people.

I would only recommend this spot on clean swells, otherwise the boat trip out there and the hassle isn't worth it." } ["3108"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "4687" [1]=> string(17) "Saint Barthélemy" [2]=> string(0) "" [3]=> string(0) "" [4]=> string(5) "Vitet" [5]=> string(15) "Washing Machine" [6]=> string(15) "washing-machine" [7]=> string(10) "17.8884523" [8]=> string(12) "-62.81004488" [9]=> string(0) "" [10]=> string(21) "Short walk (5-15 min)" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(7) "Unknown" [14]=> string(11) "Beach break" [15]=> string(14) "Right and left" [16]=> string(15) "Sandy with rock" [17]=> string(57) "a:3:{i:0;s:6:"Hollow";i:1;s:4:"Fast";i:2;s:8:"Powerful";}" [18]=> string(32) "Very consistent (150+ days/year)" [19]=> string(10) "Don't know" [20]=> string(10) "Don't know" [21]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [22]=> string(41) "a:2:{i:0;s:9:"SouthEast";i:1;s:4:"East";}" [23]=> string(7) "3ft-5ft" [24]=> string(10) "Don't know" [25]=> string(10) "Don't know" [26]=> string(10) "Don't know" [27]=> string(10) "Don't know" [28]=> string(10) "Don't know" [29]=> string(22) "a:1:{i:0;s:5:"Rocks";}" [30]=> string(0) "" } ["3109"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "4688" [1]=> string(5) "Spain" [2]=> string(7) "Euskadi" [3]=> string(2) "SS" [4]=> string(7) "Getaria" [5]=> string(17) "Orrua, Rocca Puta" [6]=> string(16) "orrua-rocca-puta" [7]=> string(11) "43.30510011" [8]=> string(11) "-2.23975182" [9]=> string(163) "Take the road out of Zumaia towards Getaria, go through a small tunnel and it's on the bend.

The breaks are constant and epic to carve up. Early in the morning is the best tome to execute some mad manoeuvres as the water is like glass. It's a heavy L breaking wave over rocky ledge on rocky bottom. In the right S swell it holds 20ft! Most consistent between Dec-Mar. It isn't easy to reach even by car. Experienced surfers Only.

Atmosphere: I'm from Bahía Blanca and i always surf this spot in summer when a swell comes in (not too often). It's a very short tide though. The best swells are South-East swells, these days you should expect an annoying cross-shore current from East to West. I always end surfing by the espigón oeste (west-pier). That's also where most of the surfers surf. Don't worry about crowd nor localism since there are almost no locals at all, you'll never find more than 10-15 surfers all allong the beach. Very good night life in January! Additional Info: You can park your car anywhere on the street, it'll be safe. Low tide is always smaller than mid and high tide and the bottom can be rocky with sand. If during your stay a Sudestada (strong suddern winds) appears, then you should expect nice offshore conditions early next morning (wind may change at about 10am)." } ["3122"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "4712" [1]=> string(10) "Costa Rica" [2]=> string(19) "Guanacaste Province" [3]=> string(0) "" [4]=> string(9) "Tamarindo" [5]=> string(9) "Tamarindo" [6]=> string(11) "tamarindo-2" [7]=> string(11) "10.30191471" [8]=> string(12) "-85.84231853" [9]=> string(176) "You can stay in hotels such as El Capitan which are beach front or you can park you car and walk aroun or through the hotel strip.

Atmosphere: On weekends Sandy's is a combination of Locals and tourist alike. Life guards are present at this beach and on high surf advisory days they are patrolling the beach keeping tourist out of the water as well as people whom don't know what they are doing. Sandy's is the number 1 beach in Hawaii for accidents. Usually from tourist, military and locals alike fracturing ther necks due to the extreme shore break. Make sure you know your limitations before attempting to go out on "big" days. There is a restroom, phones and shower heads located off the beach area. Additional Info: Sandy's is the host of Gas chambers, Middles, Cobbles, and Pipe littles. The map attched to this web page has them slightly off place. Sandy's is located "according to the attached map" in between where it says "Hanauma Bay and Gas". Sandy's is and extreme shore break second to none on Oahu. Use extreme caution when body surfing or sponging in this spot. Even small days can become rough. If your out to surf Pipe littles is left ocean view to middles and the shore break. Depending on the size of the waves you can go either left or right. Pipe littles does have plenty small kine rocks around so be aware. Middles is pure body boarding and sponging alike. My opionion the break does not always break in the exact same spot so but you know it will break on the shore. You get great small kine tubes at middles..it closes out quick though. Gas chambers is off to the right closer to the rocks and blow hole. Usually plenty of rights off of gas chambers but sometimes you can break left. Free parking right off the beach. Usually Da Local Chef has his cooking truck in the parking lot if your hungry for a plate lunch." } ["3141"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "4746" [1]=> string(7) "Ireland" [2]=> string(14) "County Donegal" [3]=> string(0) "" [4]=> string(10) "Meenlaragh" [5]=> string(16) "Magheroarty reef" [6]=> string(16) "magheroarty-reef" [7]=> string(10) "55.1477337" [8]=> string(11) "-8.17691803" [9]=> string(24) "Next to the harbour wall" [10]=> string(23) "Instant access (<5 min)" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(7) "Unknown" [14]=> string(12) "Reef (rocky)" [15]=> string(4) "Left" [16]=> string(8) "Boulders" [17]=> string(25) "a:1:{i:0;s:8:"Ordinary";}" [18]=> string(23) "Regular (100 days/year)" [19]=> string(19) "Normal (50 to 150m)" [20]=> string(18) "Long (150 to 300m)" [21]=> string(42) "a:2:{i:0;s:5:"South";i:1;s:9:"SouthEast";}" [22]=> string(42) "a:2:{i:0;s:5:"North";i:1;s:9:"NorthWest";}" [23]=> string(7) "3ft-5ft" [24]=> string(10) "Don't know" [25]=> string(13) "Low tide only" [26]=> string(10) "Don't know" [27]=> string(11) "Few surfers" [28]=> string(11) "Few surfers" [29]=> string(22) "a:1:{i:0;s:5:"Rocks";}" [30]=> string(0) "" } ["3142"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "4748" [1]=> string(13) "United States" [2]=> string(10) "New Jersey" [3]=> string(15) "Cape May County" [4]=> string(10) "Strathmere" [5]=> string(22) "Strathmere, 7th street" [6]=> string(21) "strathmere-7th-street" [7]=> string(11) "39.19813883" [8]=> string(12) "-74.65583324" [9]=> string(524) "going north on rt. 9 make a right onto sea isle blvd. at the light. go over the bridge and into sea isle. make a left at the first light and follow that street going straight (you'll go around a bend), and you'll reach another light, make a left there and you're basically in strathmere. go down about 7 or 8 streets and park wherever is easiest to pull out of, and keep in mind the fact that the passanger side of the car is next to a dense amount of brush and dune grass so if you want to plan ahead for that...you should."

Additional Info: in the summer you have to park like a jerk if you want any breathing room. leave enough room infront of you to be able to pull out easy, and same for behind you but not enough for someone to 'squeeze in' and basically box you in. it sucks. share the surf and watch out for the fisherman, and whales." } ["3143"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "4749" [1]=> string(6) "Taiwan" [2]=> string(0) "" [3]=> string(14) "Taitung County" [4]=> string(0) "" [5]=> string(18) "Donghe River Mouth" [6]=> string(18) "donghe-river-mouth" [7]=> string(11) "22.97571779" [8]=> string(12) "121.31368719" [9]=> string(0) "" [10]=> string(21) "Short walk (5-15 min)" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(3) "Yes" [14]=> string(10) "Rivermouth" [15]=> string(14) "Right and left" [16]=> string(20) "Flat rocks with sand" [17]=> string(20) "a:1:{i:0;s:3:"Fun";}" [18]=> string(10) "Don't know" [19]=> string(10) "Don't know" [20]=> string(19) "Normal (50 to 150m)" [21]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [22]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [23]=> string(7) "3ft-5ft" [24]=> string(10) "Don't know" [25]=> string(9) "All tides" [26]=> string(10) "Don't know" [27]=> string(10) "Don't know" [28]=> string(10) "Don't know" [29]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [30]=> string(0) "" } ["3144"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "4750" [1]=> string(12) "South Africa" [2]=> string(12) "Eastern Cape" [3]=> string(36) "Sarah Baartman District Municipality" [4]=> string(17) "Saint Francis Bay" [5]=> string(8) "El Dumpo" [6]=> string(8) "el-dumpo" [7]=> string(12) "-34.15940646" [8]=> string(10) "24.8355449" [9]=> string(0) "" [10]=> string(23) "Instant access (<5 min)" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(3) "Yes" [14]=> string(7) "Sandbar" [15]=> string(14) "Right and left" [16]=> string(5) "Sandy" [17]=> string(90) "a:5:{i:0;s:6:"Hollow";i:1;s:4:"Fast";i:2;s:8:"Powerful";i:3;s:8:"Ordinary";i:4;s:3:"Fun";}" [18]=> string(31) "Sometimes breaks (50 days/year)" [19]=> string(12) "Short (<50m)" [20]=> string(19) "Normal (50 to 150m)" [21]=> string(21) "a:1:{i:0;s:4:"West";}" [22]=> string(28) "a:1:{i:0;s:10:"Don't know";}" [23]=> string(7) "3ft-5ft" [24]=> string(5) "10ft+" [25]=> string(9) "All tides" [26]=> string(10) "Don't know" [27]=> string(10) "Don't know" [28]=> string(10) "Don't know" [29]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [30]=> string(0) "" } ["3145"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "4751" [1]=> string(9) "Argentina" [2]=> string(25) "Provincia de Buenos Aires" [3]=> string(16) "Gral Pueyrredón" [4]=> string(11) "La Arboleda" [5]=> string(12) "Off the Wall" [6]=> string(12) "off-the-wall" [7]=> string(12) "-38.16526772" [8]=> string(12) "-57.62887001" [9]=> string(6) "drive!"

Atmosphere: There is almost no localism. Me and a few other kids are the only locals. Bailey's holds can hold up to double overhead waves which makes it in my opinion the best beach break on Aquideneck Island. Additional Info: The surf is pretty easy to get used to.

Get it on a cold morning, just after a low-pressure system has passed over Brittany. With a North wind and a heavy marsh-runoff, this is a GOOD pointbreak : not too heavy but with reliable waves. If you don't know what kind of waves to expect, take a three board quiver : 6'4", 7' gun and a longboard. Atmosphere: Sometimes crowded, this spot is one of the rares anybody can see from the main road. This place is well-known among local surfers to be the place to be on biggest swells. Thought, it never gets too hard nor too agressive. Smile and say hello and WAIT FOR YOUR TURN. Additional Info: On big swells, the waves begin to break South of this spot (see Goulien and Kersiguennoù spots, on this website)... but on BIG swells, Kerloc'h begins to break as a righthander pointbreak. It doesn't work at low tide and stops working at high, so COME AT MIDDLE TIDE. Because of heavy rains in winter, the marsh flows itself seaward along the right-side rocky coast and this makes a HEAVY CURRENT. Plus : thanks to the local farmers, the marsh runoff can bring strange red algae, but there are no known surf diseases related to this pollution. All you can fear is to swallow some of it while duckdiving ! To get to the peak, paddle on the left to avoid the waves and DO NOT USE THE CURRENT if you don't know the place : you would be swept on the rocks. The current is powerful and will probably take you southward, where you will mmet more rights-and-left waves : just left yourself go and use the waves to go back to shore; then walk again toward the main peak." } ["3168"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "4785" [1]=> string(12) "South Africa" [2]=> string(12) "Western Cape" [3]=> string(34) "Garden Route District Municipality" [4]=> string(11) "Buffels Bay" [5]=> string(19) "Buffalo Bay (Point)" [6]=> string(17) "buffalo-bay-point" [7]=> string(12) "-34.08894581" [8]=> string(11) "22.97764778" [9]=> string(79) "Go to Buffalo Bay and follow the road to the caravan park, just before it, easy" [10]=> string(23) "Instant access (<5 min)" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(3) "Yes" [14]=> string(11) "Point break" [15]=> string(5) "Right" [16]=> string(8) "Boulders" [17]=> string(56) "a:3:{i:0;s:6:"Hollow";i:1;s:8:"Ordinary";i:2;s:3:"Fun";}" [18]=> string(32) "Very consistent (150+ days/year)" [19]=> string(19) "Normal (50 to 150m)" [20]=> string(18) "Long (150 to 300m)" [21]=> string(22) "a:1:{i:0;s:5:"North";}" [22]=> string(42) "a:2:{i:0;s:9:"SouthWest";i:1;s:5:"South";}" [23]=> string(7) "3ft-5ft" [24]=> string(4) "8ft+" [25]=> string(16) "Low and mid tide" [26]=> string(12) "Falling tide" [27]=> string(5) "Empty" [28]=> string(11) "Few surfers" [29]=> string(39) "a:2:{i:0;s:5:"Rocks";i:1;s:6:"Sharks";}" [30]=> string(163) "nice.

Summer time its a very small shorebreak, not worth your time, maybe just for swimming. But during the winter its a amazing wave. The main breaks are right outside in the middle. Line yourself up with the basketball courts for the middle break. Its a solid right, very long ride when its big. Theres another break waay out to the right, but its a long paddle but well worth it. The left break is way out towards the rocks sticking out, paddle out past where you see the Youth/Teen center on shore. Thats the left break, its kind of sloppy , but can barrel very nicely once in a while. Paia bay can be very deceiving as you paddle out. A 10-14 foot wave has the power of a 5 footer. A 10 foot face wave breaking in front of you while duck diving will do almost nothing to you. It really through me off how these waves were. They can get really big, very fast and glassy, but arent as strong as they look.

Also, the only time in my life where i put on a helmet in the water was here, because i was (again) alone and the waves were 2.5 meters high. Atmosphere: The place is known all around and it can get crowded, especially on weekends or holidays... and especially on smallest swells: all you have to do is wait for some no-beginners conditions. 2 meters swell is a good reference. Thought, crowd remain really mellow most of the time: just don't snake the wrong person too many times... If possible, come here during the weekdays and before the wind raises (morning). Though, the place is pretty nice and you usually can see the sandbar under your feet when you're surfing a wave. Additional Info: One of the most powerful and fastest waves of the whole Brittany region (and hollow if you add an offshore wind). Some of the HEAVIEST CURRENTS, too. Apart from that, the main danger of the place is a single big rock which could be underwater at high tide: it is about 50 meters before the cliff of Van point (North side). The take off is the fastest part of the wave (except when it tubes): do not forget the wax ! One other tip : the name of the spot means Bay of Dead Men because the breton legend says that the Death (the Ankou) comes here by boat once a year to take the dead people toward the Other World. ...And french common-saying states: "Who sees Sein sees his end". Boating around here is not about yachting. See what i mean ? I can add that Baie de Trepasse is very tubey at low tide and much mellower at high tide. Something for everyone." } ["3188"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "4814" [1]=> string(6) "France" [2]=> string(27) "Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur" [3]=> string(15) "Alpes-Maritimes" [4]=> string(6) "Cannes" [5]=> string(23) "Cannes l'Aérospatiale" [6]=> string(20) "cannes-laerospatiale" [7]=> string(11) "43.54705507" [8]=> string(10) "6.98005199" [9]=> string(243) "In Cannes, take the "Mandelieu by the coast"direction and 3km after when you'll be in front of the Alcatel Building you'll be there.

Additional Info: Uluwatu is the most famous wave of Bali. There is always some swell here so it's also always crowded. The spot offers several waves which are working with different swells and tides: The Peak: best at mid and high tide. Closes out at low tide. In front of the cave. it's the most consistent. Short and powerful waves, tubes. The take off is moving. It works from 1ft to 8ft. The most crowded. One of the sections closes more than the others. Racetracks: 100 meters further. fast wave, a lot of sections with easy tubes. Best at low tide and at 6ft. Can hold bigger swell. On the right tide and the right swell, "The Peak" connects with "Racetraks" (you need to be a good tuberider). Over 10ft, Racetracks breaks until "The Corner". Inside Corner: best at mid and low tide with a 6ft swell. At first, it's a fun wave and the final bowl is a tube. Don't do a cutback just before the bowl! Take plenty of speed, stay high in the face and trim. You will pass the tube. Outside Corner: the REAL Uluwatu. Works only with big swells (>8ft) and at low tide. The lower is the tide, the better is the wave. Take at least a 7' board. It is a succession of long walls good for carving and, sometimes, a beautiful final tube. The length is around 300 meters. Temple: less surfed. 2 waves in fact ("Outside temple" and "The Bombies"). Only for experts because the water is very shallow. For thoses,it is a incredible tube when it works." } ["3215"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "4856" [1]=> string(6) "Brazil" [2]=> string(15) "State of Ceará" [3]=> string(9) "Fortaleza" [4]=> string(0) "" [5]=> string(11) "Leste-Oeste" [6]=> string(11) "leste-oeste" [7]=> string(11) "-3.71407955" [8]=> string(12) "-38.54048967" [9]=> string(214) "The spot is in Fortaleza.

Atmosphere: Quite empty place. only some local weekend friendly surfers. The place, Likin, it's amazing, water chanels like Venice, tidy streets, friendly locals and no crime! it's an amazing place. The only one like this that i've seen in Guatemala. it is a sand bottom right-hander that breaks just in front of a jetty built in the mouth of a river that flows for a good distance parallel to the beach until it comes out to sea by the jetty. Even with the right conditions (see below), it is surfable roughly 2 to 4 hours (at best) a day, as the spot is very, very tide oriented. It needs a low-incoming tide with no-wind or very little wind conditions (e.g. 6 to 9 or 10am). At incoming mid-tide a rip makes it very difficult to stay on the point and thus the possibilities of actually riding a wave are greatly restrained. At high-tide the rip slows down and it becomes surfable again (wind permitting), but only if there is a big swell. The outgoing tide creates a very strong rip and the wave is literally un-surfable for 6 straight hours.It is a good wave but not a 5 star wave. It is also not an all surfers wave. It is a very powerful wave, fast and hollow that breaks in shallow water and requires a very fast stand-up and turns that you can only achieve if you are an advanced or expert surfer. The ride is pretty much of 30-50 meters of a speeding wall forming in front of you and when the critical section is passed there is actually not much to rip, because the wave fades out. Beware of left-handers, since they close out frequently and the whitewaters take you straight into the rocks of the jetty. Still, with the right conditions, the spot can be a lot of fun if you are a good surfer who is not afraid of nasty wipe-outs. About the area: the spot is very close to an electric plant with high chimneys puffing black smoke on the side of big warehouses used by the harbor of San Jose. It is not a pretty sight. The rest of the beach, for miles and miles, including the beach break of San Jose (a small and dirty port-town), Itzapa and another spot further west that I checked is simply a powerful close out with the (very) occasional wave that shows a shoulder to rip on. If La Barra is not breaking or if the tide and wind conditions are not right, you are stuck there with no decent surf." } ["3222"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "4868" [1]=> string(5) "Spain" [2]=> string(10) "Andalucía" [3]=> string(2) "CA" [4]=> string(27) "La Línea de la Concepción" [5]=> string(25) "La Linea de la Concepcion" [6]=> string(25) "la-linea-de-la-concepcion" [7]=> string(11) "36.16851628" [8]=> string(11) "-5.33705261" [9]=> string(0) "" [10]=> string(23) "Instant access (<5 min)" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(3) "Yes" [14]=> string(7) "Sandbar" [15]=> string(14) "Right and left" [16]=> string(5) "Sandy" [17]=> string(57) "a:3:{i:0;s:6:"Hollow";i:1;s:4:"Fast";i:2;s:8:"Powerful";}" [18]=> string(31) "Sometimes breaks (50 days/year)" [19]=> string(12) "Short (<50m)" [20]=> string(19) "Normal (50 to 150m)" [21]=> string(21) "a:1:{i:0;s:4:"West";}" [22]=> string(21) "a:1:{i:0;s:4:"West";}" [23]=> string(13) "Less than 3ft" [24]=> string(4) "6ft+" [25]=> string(9) "All tides" [26]=> string(24) "Rising and falling tides" [27]=> string(11) "Few surfers" [28]=> string(11) "Few surfers" [29]=> string(33) "a:1:{i:0;s:15:"Rips / undertow";}" [30]=> string(0) "" } ["3223"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "4869" [1]=> string(5) "Spain" [2]=> string(9) "Cantabria" [3]=> string(1) "S" [4]=> string(8) "Santoña" [5]=> string(6) "Berria" [6]=> string(6) "berria" [7]=> string(11) "43.46447591" [8]=> string(11) "-3.46391201" [9]=> string(189) "The beach of Berria is located near to Santoña, just passing the penitentiary of the Dueso, it is an enormous beach of a finite sand (like in all the north) and waters limpísimas."

It is a longish paddle if you don't have a boat, but really close by if you're on a SUP, WS or KB. In the afternoons on good, windy days you are going to find anywhere from 8-10 wind junkies out there, so you may want to go out earlier in the morning to avoid them, besides when it is windy you probably don't want to paddle out there. When it isn't windy, you will probably be by yourself or with three or four other surfers that took one of the rubber boats anchored by the beach out to the break. I would not paddle out on an offshore day (wind from the south) even on a good day because you have to paddle back against the wind after you're tired, however, if you have access to a boat, a day with a South wind and a North swell can be magazine quality. Additional Info: There's plenty of street parking along Park Boulevard, but make sure you lock your car, just in case. Try to go out earlier in the morning before the tradewinds begin to blow, unless you are a windsurfer or kiter, in which case you want to get here around 2PM.

Additional Info: This spot is very fickle but when it's on, it is just like Padang Padang or Uluwatu. Not a drop of water out of place and the best waves you'll ever surf. It's not a very hollow wave but it is long and perfect. When it gets over 6 or 8 ft. it has a very long right. It's usually a left though. For it to break it either requires a hurricane in the gulf of mexico or a huge cold front near the lower half of the USA. Park your car in front of the spot and talk to the locals. They will clue you in on where to paddle out and where to sit as this spot is a bit tricky. There is a long channel on the right of the reef and it is about a 10 - 15 minute paddle out. The wind is always offshore here but very hard blowing, that's why it needs size to break good. The best part is that it is a very long wave. When it's on, it gets really crowded. Good luck. I have lived on Aruba for 10 years and I've only caught it perfect 3 times or so. Other times it's still fun." } ["3260"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "4928" [1]=> string(12) "South Africa" [2]=> string(12) "Western Cape" [3]=> string(43) "City of Cape Town Metropolitan Municipality" [4]=> string(9) "Cape Town" [5]=> string(10) "Dias Beach" [6]=> string(10) "dias-beach" [7]=> string(12) "-34.35527017" [8]=> string(11) "18.48106384" [9]=> string(50) "Go to Cape Point nature reserve.

Heavy, thick mutant barrels on the right swell. Theres something very lekker about surfing in the most southern spot in africa where the indian and atlantic oceans meet! Not quite - it is the south western most point of Africa. Cape Agulhas is the southern tip. Be very careful of the rip here - a couple of months back a very fit American tourist went for a body surf here and was never seen again. If you get ripped out to sea, next stop is the Antarctic! Baboons are aggressive, but will only attack if you have food in your backpack - DON'T CARRY FOOD! Atmosphere: Never a crowd. Picks up all swell so when everywhere in Capetown's flat - this is the place to go. Long walk to get there and back dodging baboons, which can be a nuisance and have on occasion stopped people from getting to the bay. (They do attack people sometimes but should be o.k if you leave them alone.)We, on one occasion, couldnt get out of the bay after a session cause the baboons had gathered around the stairway going to the beach. Dont show your teeth to them!! Additional Info: Bodyboarders still speak in awe of the day Mike Stewart was taken here and blew the place apart. It was never regarded as a surf spot until recently. Just around the corner from the sheer cliffs of Cape Point, it's an imposing venue. It also entails a stiff walk down and a steep half-hour climb back up. There is no beach to speak of, just rock, cliffs and a crunchy righthander that breaks close to the rocks, although does break left too.

Fair rip most days that takes you down the beach, best bet is to catch it all the way in and then walk back around." } ["3307"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "5011" [1]=> string(9) "Australia" [2]=> string(17) "Western Australia" [3]=> string(0) "" [4]=> string(8) "Maitland" [5]=> string(11) "Sams Island" [6]=> string(11) "sams-island" [7]=> string(12) "-20.65005322" [8]=> string(12) "116.70510292" [9]=> string(0) "" [10]=> string(23) "Instant access (<5 min)" [11]=> string(2) "No" [12]=> string(3) "Yes" [13]=> string(3) "Yes" [14]=> string(12) "Reef (rocky)" [15]=> string(5) "Right" [16]=> string(8) "Boulders" [17]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [18]=> string(27) "Rarely breaks (5 days/year)" [19]=> string(12) "Short (<50m)" [20]=> string(19) "Normal (50 to 150m)" [21]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [22]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [23]=> string(10) "Don't know" [24]=> string(10) "Don't know" [25]=> string(8) "Mid tide" [26]=> string(12) "Falling tide" [27]=> string(7) "Crowded" [28]=> string(7) "Crowded" [29]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [30]=> string(443) "bit slow wedgy but depends on tide out going tdes can be sucky-hollow Atmosphere: breaks up the swealtering heat worth the paddle on big days... can get some locals that demand ownership but waves are rare in towns like this .. merky red water is a little weird Additional Info: works only on cyclone swells ... or on rare big storms/swells its the sorta spot when ya get it or you dont winds can swing easily in the pilbra durring cyclones" } ["3308"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "5012" [1]=> string(5) "Spain" [2]=> string(9) "Cantabria" [3]=> string(1) "S" [4]=> string(8) "Comillas" [5]=> string(8) "Comillas" [6]=> string(8) "comillas" [7]=> string(11) "43.38995516" [8]=> string(11) "-4.28831577" [9]=> string(101) "At Comillas: the harbour is on the east of a cape.

It is a wide, beautiful and free spot, with a river nearby to cool down in fresh water. Fisherman are at times available, you can buy fresh catch from them at incredible prices. Wind goes sidewards/onshore by 11.30 AM, waves are still surfable, but never as nice as in the offshore winded mornings. If planning to hang out bring a beach umbrella, seating and plenty of fluids, it is hot. There are many kilometers of coast to the west to explore, with similar conditions. Additional Info: Access is through the town of Nizao, about 55 minutes West of Santo Domingo city. Car must be left behind at little town, best at a trusted local place, long walk through plantations to the beach. Pebbles get hot by noon, make sure to wear shoes or even sandals.

Additional Info: Park your car, proceed to the sand beach to your right, and paddle out on the right hand side of the rocks. If its breaking, you'll see the peak, paddle straight out to it. The break: A wedging left A-frame wave. Fast and lots of fun, with good barrel and air section potential. There is only really one peak, with a short right, and the left, so crowds can make it painful. But when its good, sets are usually 4-8 waves long.

I have gone out many times and got frustrated, but on the best swell (Mainly from the southwest), this can be the best spot around! Look for a low tide going high, with a long period swell (like most of the spot around here). Again, SOUTHWEST SWELL.

This place is HEAVY and really good. I would say it is just as heavy as Puerto if not heavier. If you are not an EXPERT surfer do not go there. This wave is for expert barrel riders only. If you are into the party scene go somewhere else there is NO nightlife and NO chicks. This is for serious tube riders ONLY. I surfed it at double overhead and it was unreal. I live in Central America at a beach break on the Pacific coast and we get some heavy surf as well. This is not a place for guys who are not experienced in serious surf. Two months before I was there, a couple of years ago, a Venuzuelan bodyboarder died. This place is as mean as it gets. Now to the guys that are into this kinda thing and you know who you are... THIS PLACE IS UNREAL. The bigger it gets the better it gets. Bring your miniguns and be ready to break at least one. This place is not for chicks or guys who wanna party. The accomadations are core and the food is so so. Edgar is a really cool guy he has the Hotel right when you come into town and you can rent a hot little room right in front of the break for cheap. You can surf from the early am to 11am or 12pm then it blows on shore for the rest of the day. After that there is NOTHING to do there.

I ride a 9'6" 75% of the time, and a 7' when its chest high and up. Of course, the kids will only ride short boards, which is why they end up bobbing around on the inside getting in the way. It's where I learned to surf a few years ago, so that always helps me keep the kid thing in perspective. A friend from a town up the road once referred to the Cove as Waikiki. He must have meant the long, knee high waves. (The town where he surfs has a lot of hotels with fake palm trees, so maybe his is just jealous of Cape May's natural beauty.) The third picture probably says more about this spot than anything I can put into words. Atmosphere: The Cove, as a beach, is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. From the last jetty in Cape May, where the cove begins, it is about a 30 minute brisk walk to the lighthouse, and the entire stretch of beach (except for about 300 yards from the jetty) is a protected wildlife santuary. The general atmosphere is very pleasant. The locals are relatively cool, with the edge you'd expect on the few days of the year when its head high and really going off. Especially in the last two years, a lot of parents have been sending their kids off into the water with brand new boards and no lessons. Sometimes it is downright dangerous. Once I actually saw a kid drop in on a guy, and after a scary collision, his Mom, from her lounge chair, laughed and said, "Oh, did you see Bobby wipe out?" to her equally clueless husband. You can easily expect a couple hundred kids in the water during July and August. However, the kids go back to school just in time for the hurricane season, and the best time to surf anywhere in New Jersey is the fall. Nice weather weekends can still draw a large crowd through October. Additional Info: I think the best tip on how to surf the Cove well is to be there every day. The best tide and direction varies throughout the year. It goes through phases, yet also seems random. I have had many days when a reliable source said "no waves" but during a twenty minute period later that day I was catching chest high barrels off the jetty. If you plan to visit, just go and enjoy the scene, and then, if you happen to be there on a good day, look at it as gravy. More specifically, a lot of times you need to line up real tight with the jetty, at the very tip, and to the south. It can get hairy, especially when there are a hundred little kids sitting inside. Cape May has two small but good surf shops. South End is on the beach, about a ten-minute walk from the Cove, and Summer Sun is on the pedestrian mall in the center of town, about a fifteen minute walk." } ["3379"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "5123" [1]=> string(8) "Portugal" [2]=> string(13) "Faro District" [3]=> string(0) "" [4]=> string(9) "Portimão" [5]=> string(14) "Praia da Rocha" [6]=> string(14) "praia-da-rocha" [7]=> string(11) "37.11488355" [8]=> string(11) "-8.53302956" [9]=> string(112) "this spot could be a surprise for u it is situated in praia da rocha(portimão)the pic its byside the river."

Long sweeping rides usually righthanders) can be had. great view from the cliff road above the bay - as lines stack up all the way to the estuary and out to sea. Makes it into numerous surf mag 'arty' photos. Shallows are safe for beginners. It is a huge flat beach, and the sands are a prime spot for sand yatchs and all kind of weird beach/sail cross over sports. Additional Info: A classic long boarders wave - slow waves that improve with a moderate offshore wind to steepen the faces. Works on all stages of the tide, but like many north Devon spots tends to be best on the 'push' as the incoming tide (the tidal rage of the Bristol Channel is one of the greatest in the world)can increase wave height dramatically. As the swell picks up, a rip develops alongside the cliff which is often the only way to get out back on big days. But treat it with caution - getting caught unawares leads to unpleaseant exits over the rocks! Helicopter rescues are not uncommon in summer, as novices get swept out. The cliff gives good protection from North and NW winds." } ["3422"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "5189" [1]=> string(6) "Brazil" [2]=> string(14) "Rio de Janeiro" [3]=> string(14) "Rio de Janeiro" [4]=> string(0) "" [5]=> string(25) "posto 11 (Atlântico sul)" [6]=> string(22) "posto-11-atlantico-sul" [7]=> string(12) "-23.02999977" [8]=> string(12) "-43.46644331" [9]=> string(0) "" [10]=> string(23) "Instant access (<5 min)" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(3) "Yes" [14]=> string(7) "Sandbar" [15]=> string(14) "Right and left" [16]=> string(5) "Sandy" [17]=> string(39) "a:2:{i:0;s:8:"Ordinary";i:1;s:3:"Fun";}" [18]=> string(23) "Regular (100 days/year)" [19]=> string(12) "Short (<50m)" [20]=> string(19) "Normal (50 to 150m)" [21]=> string(22) "a:1:{i:0;s:5:"North";}" [22]=> string(57) "a:3:{i:0;s:5:"South";i:1;s:9:"SouthEast";i:2;s:4:"East";}" [23]=> string(13) "Less than 3ft" [24]=> string(5) "10ft+" [25]=> string(9) "All tides" [26]=> string(10) "Don't know" [27]=> string(10) "Don't know" [28]=> string(10) "Don't know" [29]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [30]=> string(0) "" } ["3423"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "5193" [1]=> string(13) "United States" [2]=> string(13) "Massachusetts" [3]=> string(16) "Nantucket County" [4]=> string(9) "Nantucket" [5]=> string(30) "Madaquecham (Nantucket Island)" [6]=> string(28) "madaquecham-nantucket-island" [7]=> string(11) "41.24464327" [8]=> string(12) "-70.06687403" [9]=> string(351) "Quite tricky...to get here you have to head towards Sconset from town, down Threemilestone Road and take the right down a road called Old Tom Nevers...follow it all the way down along side what I think is an Air field...then take the left down the dirt track and follow it all the way to the cliff..This takes about 10mins...Park, get out and jump in."

Additional Info: You need to be ready to handle a wipeout that could hold you underwater for up to a minute depending on how big the waves are. You also need to be assisted by a PWC at all teams and it is a good idea to go with a team of at least five people in case of an emergency. Watch the wave for a while so you know how far out the waves break and how far out the set waves break. You do not want to get caught inside here because of how heavy the wave is.

Remote, fun, often offshore, and uncrowded, it delivers the goods consistently, but there are a lot of better gems to be uncovered for Taiwan sufers. Atmosphere: The boulders and currents make this a spot for experienced surfers only. On a weekend you'll probably see one or two friendly local Taiwan surfers who've got the spot wired, but otherwise it can be a lonely place, despite the busloads of tourists arriving to see the caves. If you catch it on, surf yourself silly, then grab a squid dinner at the resturant and watch it reel with a couple of big bottles of Taiwan Beer. Ahh... Additional Info: Bashiendong is actually a point formed by a rivermouth. You may find the water a little chilly when you get in, but don't worry, you'll paddle out of the cold brown river stream and into the typical blue Taiwan east coast bathwater. The N tradewinds that put funk on a lot of good surf along the coast are offshore here and groom the left-handers that roll around the point. On a typical day with Head-High trade swell, you can expect some gutless outside sets that you can catch well off the point. The wave backs off, and you'll find yourself digging right after takeoff just to keep riding, before reversing and getting a warbly left-hand shoulder that's whackable all the way to the beach but never really throws. The inside is smaller and punchier with an occasional nice almond-shaped duck-in barrel. The shoulder moves fairly slow, but don't get buried behind it or you'll get rolled onto the shore boulders. Nut up! There tends to be a N-S current during typical winter NE and tradeswell, but the wave breaks in the same spot all the time so you won't drift away. During S-SE and close-in Typhoon swells, the spot closes out and a powerful rip sets up off the beach. Steer clear. Surf is pretty consistent during winter months, but it can get flat and turn into unridable ripples breaking on the rocks at WH and below during the summer. Bigger days can see really good conditions on the point and bowel-shaking sandmonster shorey on a beach south of the point. Probably not ridable except for insane bodyboarders." } ["3445"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "5225" [1]=> string(6) "Mexico" [2]=> string(7) "Sinaloa" [3]=> string(0) "" [4]=> string(9) "El Patole" [5]=> string(7) "Patoles" [6]=> string(7) "patoles" [7]=> string(9) "23.743476" [8]=> string(13) "-106.84530258" [9]=> string(634) "Patoles can be reached by any rental car from Mazatlan in less than two hours.

If you're travelling with a wife or girlfriend and you want to surf, but it's not the whole purpose of your trip, and you're satisfied with surfing decent-but-not-great waves in an absolutely beautiful environment, then Manuel Antonio and Playitas are a good call Atmosphere: This place has incredible scenery. It's one of those spots that you don't mind a lull in the surf, because it gives you time to burn the surroundings into memory. The locals were cool Some ripped and some were lame just like at home. Occassionaly you'll find a real kook in the lineup. That'll be the disrespectful 20 year old from Florida. Feel free to drop in on him. If you dawn patrol you'll be alone or with a few (no more) locals. If you've got a decent budget I can't recommend the Hotel Si Como No highly enough. Beautiful landscaping that blends naturally into the surroundings, killer architecture and a super-friendly staff. Additional Info: Med-high to high tide is best. At this tide however some nasty rocks that are exposed at lower tides are hidden.

I stayed right on the beach front for two weeks in Summer of 2004 but typically the surf was poor as it was a rare high pressure (for ireland) system overhead. The surf only picked up to a foot or two on a couple of occasions but it was real fun and you could see the potential. If there is no surf there go over to Long Strand over the point (eastwards). Can't wait to go back again. Additional Info: I would say Ownahincha is separated into 2 beaches due to a rock formation and an extenstion of the dunes which the Life gaurd hut is ontop of. Both are fun but i think the easterly beach has a wider swell window and is a tad steeper which can improve the set up. Try fishing off the rocks and catching some bass :D Chat to the friendly locals and lifegaurds. There is a little car park behind the dunes which is handy as it leads to both beaches.

The wave has some power to it and has some barrel sections when glassy. The swell angle though is very crucial to get in and reel down the steep point. Atmosphere: The beach can be crowded, but when there is swell you can score it with you and a friend out. Great setting with Deer Island/Isla Lobos right in front and the sun going down after an afternoon session. Grab a beer after at the Hotel Las Flores Las Rejas Bar on the beach, and think of the fun-rare waves you just got. Additional Info: It breaks right off in front of the jetty on a solid swell. The only thing that can suck is the rip tide due to the steepness of the swell that is needed usually to get in for the spot to break.

Atmosphere: I don't have a good photograph but see page 138-139 of Mark Warren's Atlas of Australian Surfing ISBN 0 207 15681 6 and Wave-Finder Surf Guide - Australia page 128. + This is a magic little right hand point break, tucked away right near the Victorian border. In winter months (may-sep) there is virtually nobody there, and so damn cold (full steamer) it keeps the crowds down. In summer though it does get crowded, like the whole south coast of NSW. It is a magic little wave in a National Park, and breaks hollow, with long walls and occasional tubes, for about 100m+, not a very long point break, but handles some size (10 feet+), gets longer when bigger (about 150m), and is nice, fast and hollow. Best in big southeast swells, lower tides and south winds. Northeast swells might also be ok, by the look of it. It's also a beautiful spot. Additional Info: Saltwater, is able to hold up to 4 metres, but very good in 1.5 to 2 metre. The take-off varies according to swell size and direction over large, sand-covered boulders. On bigger days the wave starts further out, jacking take-off followed by a bowling inside section before swinging towards the beach in a series of cut back sections. It loses out in the dredging shore break on the beach. On big days this shore break becomes a massive rip smashing with great force against the rocks. It works on all tides, butis hollower, and better, at lower tides. Jumping from the point is usually the way to go, but if you mistime things you will face a whirlpool ride over the razor sharp, barnacle encrusted rocks on the point." } ["3496"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "5300" [1]=> string(13) "United States" [2]=> string(7) "Florida" [3]=> string(12) "Duval County" [4]=> string(12) "Jacksonville" [5]=> string(13) "Little Talbot" [6]=> string(13) "little-talbot" [7]=> string(10) "30.4779336" [8]=> string(12) "-81.41130924" [9]=> string(369) "park+ lock up a long walk if breaking, well worth the walk however if you dont understand ediquitte then dont go dont drop in on anyone and show respect and the same will happen for you.

For a taste of the old Huntington before the yuppies and track homes visit the Chuck Dent surf shop. Atmosphere: Crowded, aggressive and crazy, but a lot of fun. In the summer small waves (except on a big south swell) warm water and beach, tons of chicks and tourists and freaks and assorted loons! In the winter cool to cold water, bigger, more consistant surf and fewer weirdos, but still a whole lot of surfers. Offshore winds from the east and/or northeast can turn Huntington into a "magazine quality" wave. In the summer and fall keep your feet off the sandy bottom as warm water can bring in lots and lots of stingrays!!! Additional Info: From Bolsa Chica to the north, to Santa Ana River Jetties to the south, Huntington Beach offers mile after mile of classic southern California beach break. The most crowded area is usually around the Huntington Beach Pier at Main St.and PCH. Parking is widely available for a fee. Plenty of facilities and tons of people. Huntington is VERY consistant and almost always has waves while other areas are flat. This area works best on combo swells, say nw and sw, so as to break up the long walls into workable peaks.

Beautiful sight around and at least more 5 spots in the area (less than 5km distant): Grande beach, Ubatuba beach, Itaguaçu beach, Turttle beach, and the Petrobras Pier. For more information about São Franciso do Sul Island, access http://www.saofranciscodosul.com.br/ Additional Info: It is a small beach, good structure with restaurants and hotels. You park your car in front of the beach. No need to worry about robbery, very safe place. The wave is very strong and consistant, always. If somewhere around has no waves, be sure you'll find them at Prainha. The best swell direction is SE and the best wind is NW or W, wich is more common early in the morning. Best spot is in the southern corner of the beach, where you find the righthander. In front of the life guard house, you'll ride both lefthanders and righthanders. On the northern corner, you'll find the lefthanders, but they are not so often and so good as the others. Get prepared for tubes on the inside section. Outside section is for manouvers. Due to the strong Rip currents, look where the local surfers are entring to access. If you are not used to this beach enter in front of the Life guard post and once ouside of the breaking point.

However, if its working, their will be people out. Their is no localism on the reef and there is not a real serious asshole problem. The beach inwhich Dangers Reef is situated, Dangers Beach, is notorious for its sometimes strong riptide. The rip its self is far away from the reef and is also easy to get out of by paddling parallel to the shoreline. You will not experience any rips around the reef. During summertime, lifeguards are placed on the beach. Additional Info: The wave has two directions two it. The left, which works on any swell above 2m and the right, which tends to only work on massive swell. Both directions have their uses. The left is a hollow takeoff into a hollow, but soft, barrel section, followed by a decently long ride, as long as their is decent swell and offshore winds. Unlike the right, the left is extremely vulnerable to the wind and incorrect wind will often lead to a quick takeoff, followed by closeouts and white water. The right only tends to work on larger swell. When a wave comes over the right side of the reef, it provides a fast takeoff down the wave, which is nowhere near as hollow as the left and therefore, is less prone to closeouts. The wave is ridden right off the reef, along the sand bottomed area of the wave, which is opposite the beach and can be ridden for much longer than the left. The reef itself is just a bunch of flat rocks, covered in kelp and redbait. The reef is really shallow and causes the wave to suck up really fast, causing the right and left takeoffs to have a large gap between them. On a big day, you can take a small beating if you take off really deep on the reef and go over the falls, but otherwise, the wave is a teddy bear. The reef is also only surfable on a rising to high tide, as too low of a tide will cause you too ding your board or cause the wave too suck up too fast." } ["3520"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "5332" [1]=> string(12) "Saint Martin" [2]=> string(28) "Collectivity of Saint Martin" [3]=> string(0) "" [4]=> string(18) "Quarter of Orleans" [5]=> string(13) "Blake's break" [6]=> string(12) "blakes-break" [7]=> string(11) "18.08972808" [8]=> string(12) "-63.00933838" [9]=> string(203) "Only access is to go to orient beach by car and either rent a ski or a boat.

Better still, just wear booties, because the reef and urchins are very sharp. Incredible spot, world class when it breaks with the wind just perfect. Atmosphere: When this spot is going off world class and everyone is here--I have seen crowds of over 50 people on one peak, you can literally cut the tension with a knife. People will be dropping in on each other and lots of yelling will be going on. The vibe will be very heavy. And fist fights have been known to break out in the water. Additional Info: Getting into the water--there are a couple of small cracks where sand has collected in the barrier reef edge, here is where you enter the water. Your best bet though is just to sit back and watch locals. (Make a note when your heading out, by triangulating your position, so that when you come back in you dont wash up on the reef and urchins) The wave is almost all ultra hollow lefts (very indonesia like)though once in a while a right will sneek thru that wont close out. The reef is very shallow and sharp with grooves and small cave/holes. If you get caught inside during a cleanup set, you will wish you had never even gone out, lol, especially if you get a pile driver of a wave falling right on top of you. Last note of interest*** When this wave is going off, usually other spots are also-- best if you just go somewhere else (to put it bluntly) because unless you are a local or a pro you not going to catch even one wave. When this spot is firing every local pro and hardcore aggro surfer/boogie boarder out to prove themselves will be there!

There's so much space on the beach that you can always find an empty peak if you're prepared to walk a bit. There's also a surf club on the prom (with toilets and showers) that often has comps and stuff going on. After your surf, treat yourself to crepes on the prom and watch the sun go down. Additional Info: Great longboarder's wave, and also probably the best spot in the area for beginners, due to the wave's tendency to spill. It's also good for beginners in the respect that there doesn't tend to be pressure in the water from hot locals, cos they're normally at one of the more difficult breaks. However, when the waves get over 5-6ft it can be a nightmare paddle out. Watch for the backwash created by the promenade at high tide-it has a nasty habit of kicking the wave up to twice it's original size when it hits, and also often creates a step on the wave face- fun when you get used to it! If you walk to the south, the prom stops and the beach goes on for miles-if it's too crowded round the prom area, just walk a bit..." } ["3539"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "5357" [1]=> string(5) "Japan" [2]=> string(6) "Aomori" [3]=> string(0) "" [4]=> string(6) "Misawa" [5]=> string(12) "Veedol Beach" [6]=> string(12) "veedol-beach" [7]=> string(11) "40.77440587" [8]=> string(11) "141.4125824" [9]=> string(342) "From Misawa Airport, head east to the highway road (Route 338)and hang a right on it.

Tourist buses might pull up time to time to look at the white sand beaches and the sea lions, but other than that you are on your own.

But when a huge swell south swell starts, grab your gun and get barreled. The right is longer with a quick take off but can be very fickle, so judge it wisely. Paddling thru the sand part of the beach is recommended unless you have reef booties then jump off the rocks to the far left of the beach.

A bodyboarders paradise, it is situated in the popular holiday beach resort town of Plettenberg Bay and offers big barrels on the right days. The Wedge breaks on the sand close to shore in the left corner of the beach. It gets insanely hollow and powerful for it's size. Swells bounce off some rocks and head parallel to the beach to bump into other oncoming swells, creating the wedge. Not all the waves wedge up in this way. However, if they don't, it usually means a closeout because the wave breaks too close to shore and is not really depending on a particular sandbank to break. A short but zippy barrel can provide lots of fun in the right conditions.

Atmosphere: Awsome wave, big open barrels. Additional Info: There are two theories to how it got its name - because the wedging barrel is so round it's 360 degrees plus another five, and because there is a wave here 365 days of the year. Further down from the Kom, 365s is a classic but fickle outside reef that can produce epic waves. You usually can't surf it on the low tide for two reasons: the kelp on the way out is a nightmare to negotiate, and the rocky ledge on which it breaks gets too shallow, making for heart-stopping double-up ledges.

These are much less challenging and usually less crowded than the main peaks. These peaks are where the local beginners and kooks hang out. Atmosphere: It can get crowded when it's on, and it can get ugly when it gets crowded. Be prepared to compete for waves and deal with shoulder hoppers. When Ponto is working, there are usually a bunch of pros in the water here with their full entourages. Additional Info: This is the best spot in North County for summer swells. When it's working, it's a board-breaker. It can get very fast and hollow at low tide on a big SW, slow and mushy at high tide. Sometimes sectiony. Blows out easily. There are a lot of stingrays here when the water is warm. Paddle out along on the north side of the north jetty. Line up a few yards s of the north jetty.

So when the inlet is a washing machine, Bethune is breaking nicce. It always looks bad and small from the beach too, so just paddle out and watch and if it really isnt good than just go to teh inlet. But if your on teh beach and it looks good, its probablly really good. Atmosphere: A celebrity waiting to be seen. My favorite wave in the entire world, no matter what. everyone critisizes it because they dont know the wave and they just dont catch it on a good day. Additional Info: The spot: the wave breaks in front of a long cement wall, sometimes the wave breaks really good in different spots. Most of teh time it breaks in the middle of the wall. The Paddle Out: When you get on the beach make sure to watch teh wvae first and time the sets so you can have an easy paddle out, but if your thee on a storm swell, dont waist your time watching cause it will just be a minefield of whitewash and it will be a tricky paddle out, but on the semi.- clean days you can time the sets. If its big and its low tide, when you reach the sandbar you will be duckdiving in about 1- 2ft. of water with 6 - to bigger waves breaking right ontop of that and its just a pain, the whitewash will drag you everywhere. On High tide its a pretty easy paddle out but its still tricky. The sandbar: After the hurrican season it will change, and it will change the waves from super hollow wedges to super hollow walls of water and just about everything in between. On somedays though at low tide it will send out some pretty insane backwash so thats always a hazard. The Wave: it is a very powerful one, it will throw you onto the sandbar and bash you. But when you get the wave/barrel of the day youll forget all about it, unless you have a gnarly gash. The wave will wedge and line up all on the same or on different sets it is just unpredictable, so just grab rail and hold on.

Usually really crowded but if yah take a walk down the beach you can usually find a bank or small reef thats deserted. Additional Info: the wave isnt difficult but on a big day it can get dangerous.Pretty easy and fun on a small swell, good for a beginner but on a big swell yah need some experince or be prepared for the thrashing of your life although it's pretty safe. The localism around the corner at the wedge is present.

And remember that you can stay the night at the Farm on the Beach, you can camp/campervan pretty much anywhere on the beach, or you can stay in one of the old farmers huts,ranging from basic to pretty nice.

Never seen anyone out here though, everytime we've surfed it, it has been only us out. Crazy mother of a wave and deffinately not for the faint hearted. Needs a big, clean groundswell to start working properly and is best enjoyed on glassy days with no wind. (Spring is good.) Best on low tide. This is when youll get the best and biggest barrels.

If you see a few guys out, don't paddle right onto the peak with your bros..... find another peak.... there is over 5 miles along Hermosa that breaks the same." } ["3625"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "5491" [1]=> string(6) "France" [2]=> string(16) "Pays de la Loire" [3]=> string(16) "Loire-Atlantique" [4]=> string(11) "Préfailles" [5]=> string(8) "Margaret" [6]=> string(8) "margaret" [7]=> string(11) "47.12422899" [8]=> string(10) "-2.2162959" [9]=> string(0) "" [10]=> string(23) "Instant access (<5 min)" [11]=> string(2) "No" [12]=> string(3) "Yes" [13]=> string(3) "Yes" [14]=> string(12) "Reef (rocky)" [15]=> string(4) "Left" [16]=> string(10) "Flat rocks" [17]=> string(54) "a:3:{i:0;s:4:"Fast";i:1;s:8:"Powerful";i:2;s:3:"Fun";}" [18]=> string(10) "Don't know" [19]=> string(10) "Don't know" [20]=> string(10) "Don't know" [21]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [22]=> string(28) "a:1:{i:0;s:10:"Don't know";}" [23]=> string(13) "Less than 3ft" [24]=> string(4) "8ft+" [25]=> string(10) "Don't know" [26]=> string(10) "Don't know" [27]=> string(10) "Don't know" [28]=> string(10) "Don't know" [29]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [30]=> string(0) "" } ["3626"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "5492" [1]=> string(8) "Portugal" [2]=> string(6) "Azores" [3]=> string(0) "" [4]=> string(17) "Praia da Vitória" [5]=> string(16) "Praia da Vitoria" [6]=> string(16) "praia-da-vitoria" [7]=> string(11) "38.71925227" [8]=> string(12) "-27.06046343" [9]=> string(25) "In Praia da Vitoria town."

Be cool, be discreet, carry your stuff down the cliff with you, surf well and more likely than not you'll do fine. Additional Info: Look at a map of PV Estates, showinf Indicator & Lunada Bay. Just past upper Indicator there's a divet in the point. That's Charlies, a low tide left. Past that, up the point, is Turbos, an amazing left that really peaks up and focuses over a shelf in the reef. Just past Turbos, before the mini-cove at the base of Dominators but before Longs (the right that breaks into that mini-cove), is Pipes.

A fisherman with binglang stained teeth confirmed that no one ever surfs the place. Also, surfing is illegal along the coast south of Hualien, though you probably wont get fined, just told not to surf. Additional Info: There is a county park at the harbor with parking/legal-camping/toilets, which sits right below a Coast Guard tower (who are mostly interested in illegal imigrants landing by boat). Dont go in the water at the beach break in front of the parking lot or the coast guard will yell at you. The surf spot is about 200 meters south of the parking lot. A long jetty extending from the parking lot creates a mini-harbor on its south side. Gongs is defined by a rock sitting about and 150 meters offshore, about as far out as the end of the jetty, and visible at low-mid tide. Usually a peak 10 meters north of the rock. can line up (lefts and rights), or jack on the outside and mush in. The inside rights terminate by thumping on the beach, so pull out conservatively until you got it wired. Walking to the spot at mid or high tide can be sketch due to water surging through beach-stabilization pilings. Usually best to paddle from near the piers. Also, i've never paddled straight in from the spot but paddled back toward the piers.

There is another spot (not named - as far as i know-in a little, little cove)which breaks nicely...

Atmosphere: Get there off holiday if you can, on weekdays (may+june / september+october), otherwise, be sure it will be crowded and that longboarders will trust every wave, just as B. Gates with Windows. Even on small swell, you feel the power, as you take off very easily...just imagine on big days (where a helmet could be helpful)! This is not a family beach, except on completely flat days. Additional Info: Great rights and lefts, very powerful and easy to find ! The spot is well known, however, and on a good day everyone around will get there. If you're not familiar with competition on crowded spots and SHALLOW WATERS, stay ashore and take photos : the wave is close to a small cliff and you can make some great ones ! In the water also, the wave is close to the cliff...at very high tide, BE CAREFUL NOT TO GET INTO THE CLIFF.

Pictures are proof that it does work.

Video of near flat day years ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_CWK5XilRg we're talking high tide and 1-2ft faces :/ Atmosphere: Reef is sharp, wave is fun, can get crowded as it is known now and waves can be of good quality. Nice feel in the water but still intimidating with shallow reef underneath. Saw a 6ft set roll through here once looked amazing as it sucked water off the reef and a big, big barrel was produced and this was on a mid - high tide!! Additional Info: I would advise staying at Puri Mas during a swell as this spot and many other points/reefs up and down the coast during a big swell will be very good. The wave starts further out then the wall that the waves breaks next to but is over very sharp coral and barrels down the line until the inside where on a big swell it shuts down and on smaller 2-3ft days just dies out. Surf on low tide for barrels galore, but try and get in and out of wave before you eat reef. High tide is better for people who like long rides and then maybe a little cover up in end section. This wave needs big swell so Deserts needs to be 10ft for here to be 4ft." } ["3713"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "5635" [1]=> string(13) "United States" [2]=> string(10) "California" [3]=> string(15) "Humboldt County" [4]=> string(10) "Whitethorn" [5]=> string(13) "McKee's Creek" [6]=> string(12) "mckees-creek" [7]=> string(11) "39.96435911" [8]=> string(12) "-123.9856267" [9]=> string(0) "" [10]=> string(10) "Don't know" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(2) "No" [14]=> string(11) "Point break" [15]=> string(5) "Right" [16]=> string(30) "Reef (coral, sharp rocks etc.)" [17]=> string(57) "a:3:{i:0;s:6:"Hollow";i:1;s:4:"Fast";i:2;s:8:"Powerful";}" [18]=> string(27) "Rarely breaks (5 days/year)" [19]=> string(10) "Don't know" [20]=> string(12) "Short (<50m)" [21]=> string(28) "a:1:{i:0;s:10:"Don't know";}" [22]=> string(28) "a:1:{i:0;s:10:"Don't know";}" [23]=> string(10) "Don't know" [24]=> string(10) "Don't know" [25]=> string(10) "Don't know" [26]=> string(10) "Don't know" [27]=> string(10) "Don't know" [28]=> string(10) "Don't know" [29]=> string(160) "a:6:{i:0;s:7:"Urchins";i:1;s:15:"Rips / undertow";i:2;s:8:"Localism";i:3;s:6:"Sharks";i:4;s:28:"Nudist colony (France only!)";i:5;s:21:"Mines (Angola only !)";}" [30]=> string(0) "" } ["3714"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "5636" [1]=> string(6) "Cyprus" [2]=> string(8) "Limassol" [3]=> string(0) "" [4]=> string(10) "Pareklisia" [5]=> string(17) "St Raphael Marina" [6]=> string(17) "st-raphael-marina" [7]=> string(11) "34.71099695" [8]=> string(11) "33.16590071" [9]=> string(97) "Park at St Raphael Marina and you can surf both sides of it depending on the wind and swell size."

The Choco is truly amazing! The topography, jungle, lack of development, and friendly people make this an amazing place. There are some places to stay (pretty cheap) right on the beach. This beach is beautiful, and almost always has surfable waves. It is a paradise, but with all that said things are changing. Unfortunately the civil war has entered the area, and the FARC has moved nearby. When I was there it was VERY safe, though now I am hearing mixed reports. PLEASE know the situation before going there. It's sad because the local people there are really victims to the violence, as they are really peaceful. Additional Info: Waves can get big here, so when the swell pulls in big be ready for super fast take offs! Summer waves open long and have great shape to cruise about having fun on the wave. There are both left and right breaks at El Valle. The waves here carry a lot of energy and are good for short boards. When its big it holds up well, but not for inexperienced surfers. A few local kids from Cali live in a shack near the beach and shape boards. Nice guys, and will rent, sell, and repair boards for you. Hopefully they are still there.

Additional Info: A rarely surfed spot that can produce the goods on the right day . uncrowded which makes a nice change ." } ["3763"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "5711" [1]=> string(9) "Australia" [2]=> string(15) "New South Wales" [3]=> string(13) "Coffs Harbour" [4]=> string(13) "Corindi Beach" [5]=> string(13) "Corindi Beach" [6]=> string(13) "corindi-beach" [7]=> string(12) "-30.03105543" [8]=> string(12) "153.19610596" [9]=> string(63) "Half an hour north of coffs harbour, turn right at Corind Beach" [10]=> string(23) "Instant access (<5 min)" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(3) "Yes" [14]=> string(11) "Beach break" [15]=> string(14) "Right and left" [16]=> string(15) "Sandy with rock" [17]=> string(20) "a:1:{i:0;s:3:"Fun";}" [18]=> string(23) "Regular (100 days/year)" [19]=> string(12) "Short (<50m)" [20]=> string(12) "Short (<50m)" [21]=> string(61) "a:3:{i:0;s:9:"NorthWest";i:1;s:4:"West";i:2;s:9:"SouthWest";}" [22]=> string(61) "a:3:{i:0;s:9:"SouthEast";i:1;s:4:"East";i:2;s:9:"NorthEast";}" [23]=> string(13) "Less than 3ft" [24]=> string(4) "3ft+" [25]=> string(13) "Low tide only" [26]=> string(12) "Falling tide" [27]=> string(5) "Empty" [28]=> string(11) "Few surfers" [29]=> string(40) "a:2:{i:0;s:7:"Urchins";i:1;s:5:"Rocks";}" [30]=> string(199) "good for beach walking Atmosphere: plain but sorta nice Additional Info: Good right in the northern corner on a north east swell it acts like a left point also there's a Shorey so a very fun beach." } ["3764"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "5713" [1]=> string(5) "Ghana" [2]=> string(14) "Western Region" [3]=> string(10) "Nzema East" [4]=> string(4) "Axim" [5]=> string(4) "Axim" [6]=> string(4) "axim" [7]=> string(10) "4.85815046" [8]=> string(11) "-2.24580288" [9]=> string(67) "Just go to Axim and you may find something behind the old Slavefort" [10]=> string(10) "Don't know" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(7) "Unknown" [14]=> string(11) "Point break" [15]=> string(14) "Right and left" [16]=> string(30) "Reef (coral, sharp rocks etc.)" [17]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [18]=> string(31) "Sometimes breaks (50 days/year)" [19]=> string(10) "Don't know" [20]=> string(10) "Don't know" [21]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [22]=> string(42) "a:2:{i:0;s:9:"SouthWest";i:1;s:5:"South";}" [23]=> string(7) "3ft-5ft" [24]=> string(5) "10ft+" [25]=> string(10) "Don't know" [26]=> string(10) "Don't know" [27]=> string(5) "Empty" [28]=> string(5) "Empty" [29]=> string(26) "a:1:{i:0;s:9:"Pollution";}" [30]=> string(56) "great left, several sections, shame about the pollution." } ["3765"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "5717" [1]=> string(0) "" [2]=> string(0) "" [3]=> string(0) "" [4]=> string(0) "" [5]=> string(23) "The Point (isle of man)" [6]=> string(21) "the-point-isle-of-man" [7]=> string(11) "53.99485397" [8]=> string(11) "-3.64746094" [9]=> string(88) "easy access just of the road, park on the grass and te break is straight in front of you" [10]=> string(23) "Instant access (<5 min)" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(3) "Yes" [14]=> string(10) "Don't know" [15]=> string(4) "Left" [16]=> string(10) "Flat rocks" [17]=> string(42) "a:2:{i:0;s:6:"Hollow";i:1;s:8:"Powerful";}" [18]=> string(23) "Regular (100 days/year)" [19]=> string(12) "Short (<50m)" [20]=> string(12) "Short (<50m)" [21]=> string(41) "a:2:{i:0;s:9:"NorthWest";i:1;s:4:"West";}" [22]=> string(42) "a:2:{i:0;s:9:"SouthWest";i:1;s:5:"South";}" [23]=> string(13) "Less than 3ft" [24]=> string(4) "8ft+" [25]=> string(8) "Mid tide" [26]=> string(11) "Rising tide" [27]=> string(11) "Few surfers" [28]=> string(11) "Few surfers" [29]=> string(49) "a:2:{i:0;s:15:"Rips / undertow";i:1;s:5:"Rocks";}" [30]=> string(702) "This is the best wave on the island on its day..

Boneyards is the only semi-localized spot at the Cove, mostly pissy kids. Middles is the mainstay and breaks all year on any swell that reaches it including small west windswells in the summer but is heavily populated with longboards.

Additional Info: Park up front in Punta Hermosa. Two access points for the wave. Either go to the middle of the bay and paddle directly ou, usually there is a direct channel to the wave, or walk right to the small headland/island and go in off the narrowest part of the causeway, paddeling through the remnants of the soft left. La Isla is essentially a right, but a softer left wave peels most days. On big days this re-forms close to the beach and is enjoyed mostly by bodyboarders. The right, picks up steeply out in the middle of the bay over a rock platform, giving quality waves. In really big conditions, the bommie can throw up some huge faces. However, as it is between Pica Alta and Kon Tiki, it is less famous than these bigger brothers.

Atmosphere: in the winter, any cold front in the north atlantic could send a swell south to this area. as the northwest/north/northeast swell hits the shallow reef area, the angle of the reef to the swell produces many breaks around the shipwreck. also, in the winter months, humpback whales from the northwest atlantic region migrate to the silver bank to mate, calf and nurse the newborn baby whales. the government of the dominican republic requires all vessels traveling to the silver bank to obtain a permit if they are involved in whale watching practices. Additional Info: when you find the silver bank on nautical charts of the area between the north coast of the dominican republic and the eastern edge of the turks and caicos islands, notice no islands are in this area. what you have is a shallow bank area (average 80 ft. depth)with a large barrier reef running down the eastern side. the barrier reef orientation is north west to south east as it stretches almost 60 miles north to south and in the shallowist areas, dries at low water. the best spot for waves is around the old shipwreck. this area also provides the best anchorage area for your boat. only attempt the trip onto the bank directly west of the old wreck (traveling east) with the sun high above or at your back in the early afternoon to provide good visibility of the coral heads." } ["3811"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "5783" [1]=> string(13) "United States" [2]=> string(10) "California" [3]=> string(16) "San Diego County" [4]=> string(9) "Encinitas" [5]=> string(12) "Cardiff reef" [6]=> string(12) "cardiff-reef" [7]=> string(11) "33.01515914" [8]=> string(13) "-117.28338718" [9]=> string(349) "whoever wrote that the reef is accessible through the campground is correct...but it seems they are confusing the reef proper with Pipes...2 different breaks.

Works best with Southwest Swell+Northeast Wind, but it also breaks on any other constellation (that's why you always got some surf, even if it's not that good) I recommend you to take your time with this wave, and you'll always remember your stay as a worthwhile thing. Atmosphere: small days: on those days it's an easy takeoff followed by a calm ride. the wave may send you some whitewater-sections but you can ride around or even through them. bigger days: the takeoff can get tricky, especially when it barrels the wave is not too easy. faster ride, more fun. big days: this is where the magic happens: stormy weather which creates a stunning atmosphere around the place, strong East/Northeast Winds that make the wave throw barrels which could swallow an SUV. Hard takeoff, extreme fast and merciless ride. I've seen it every summer for 15 years and it never disappointed me. And in Winter, it's even more outrageous. Additional Info: Park the car in front of the dune (parking lot) or on top of it (parking lot with payment in summer). You can also settle yourself at the camping place, if you decide to stay a while (it's worth it). Take off late, you'll see soon that this will give you better control while riding. Pick any sandbank you like, there are plenty of them (hint: pick an empty one).

The best peaks are usually a few hundred metres south of the main carpark.

I had a long board and caught 2 breaks on the way into Bay Point. With big waves it breaks several times on the way into the beach. I didn't get to check out further south on the beach unfortunately. There may have been bigger breaks since the waves would reach shallow water without traveling along the shoreline. Additional Info: Parked up the road (east of beach) and jumped off a point to land at Bay Point." } ["3832"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "5816" [1]=> string(13) "United States" [2]=> string(10) "California" [3]=> string(16) "San Diego County" [4]=> string(9) "San Diego" [5]=> string(18) "North Torrey Pines" [6]=> string(18) "north-torrey-pines" [7]=> string(11) "32.93593718" [8]=> string(13) "-117.26292729" [9]=> string(392) "Park at the lot either off Torrey Pines road or Carmel Valley Road.

It is only a short distance away and there are some great hostels and hotels near by. Additional Info: Park your car right on the beach... although be careful with the tide. When its full you might come out of the water and find your car in two feet of water. The surf is easy to ride at low tide... but when there is a swell,(which is often), be ready to have 2-3ft overhead at high tide and it be pumping." } ["3856"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "5851" [1]=> string(13) "United States" [2]=> string(6) "Hawaii" [3]=> string(12) "Kauai County" [4]=> string(7) "Hanalei" [5]=> string(8) "Waikokos" [6]=> string(8) "waikokos" [7]=> string(11) "22.21299369" [8]=> string(13) "-159.51714993" [9]=> string(235) "Directly across from Hanalei Bay surf area and is the just off the main highway.

Not crowded at all. No problems with access other than the very short trail from road level to the beach where you have to climb down a tree. Easier than it sounds though. Handles small to large swells from a variety of angles, but with most Northshore spots, works best during the winter months. Atmosphere: Will hold a large swell for the goofy footer. Has a very long left and a short but steep right during larger swells. Crowds are not as aggressive as Hanalei Bay and even at 3'-6' has a very playful break. But, at the much larger size 12'-22' can be a challenge, yet managable to the experienced surfer. Closes out when larger than this. In between size swells are handled by the spot too. Not nearly as crowded as the Bay and not much localism either. Additional Info: Easy to get to. Parking along the main highway. Easy walk to the spot. Paddle out very short to the lineup and you're assisted by the current, even on big swells. Makes it much easier than the 20 minute paddle at Hanalei Bay. Staying on the roadside of the break, there is a very steep right that is hollow at times. Further over, there is a few take-off spots for a fairly long left. That take-off is not as critical, more forgiving and tends to wall up in front of you as you race on down the line. Problem getting caught inside with reef and the sharp items in the shallow water though. Can be surfed by all surfers at small sizes, but experienced only at surf over 10'." } ["3857"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "5852" [1]=> string(11) "Netherlands" [2]=> string(12) "Zuid-Holland" [3]=> string(9) "Rotterdam" [4]=> string(16) "Hoek van Holland" [5]=> string(16) "Hoek van Holland" [6]=> string(16) "hoek-van-holland" [7]=> string(11) "51.98793934" [8]=> string(10) "4.10454154" [9]=> string(63) "Follow the signs until you can't go any further.

The Chicama Surf Resort has the benefit of the tow boat that only upsets those that are snaked by it. Personally, I like to paddle and walk, but blaming your lack of courtesy on the tow boat is justified since there are more than plenty of waves for everyone and the tow boat is a problem for everyone, while it is a lifeline for the unexperienced (kooks) and older surfers. Remember: someday you too might be unfit and want to throw money away to keep up with the good surfers , though unable to paddle such an amazing distance. Walking is for those that want to be blessed by the gods of Chicama, those brave souls willing to sacrifice like the legendary surfers that pioneered the place. Walking and paddling is also for the budget travelers that can't afford or refuse the laziness of the boat. Your best bet is to visit Chicama with Machapu Adventures, since we are the locals and we will make sure you have a great experience either walking or by boat. Good luck to those that still want to venture here on their own, Atmosphere: Chicama is one of the best waves in the world and visitors should be respectful towards the locals and the environment. We are serious about protecting the town's greatest natural resource and visiting surfers are always welcome when they arrive with good vibes and friendly, respectul intentions. Chicama has been populated by native peruvians for more than 6,000 years and it is the ancestors of the local people that first started surfing on reed surf-craft thousands of years ago! Among the best local surfers are Juan Arroyo, aka Pajarete, a good friend that owns one of the hotels in front of El Hombre. El Zorro is also a greatly respected surfer that was one of the first local chargers and a great photographer. Additional Info: Chicama is a natural wonder of the world and would be a mecca for the surfing world if more people remembered that it exists. Thankfully it remains off the high-profile surfing circuits thanks to its difficult access and the cultural barriers that foreign travelers often experience when visiting Peru unaccompanied. The wave begins far from the town, some 2 kilometers out to the cape. The wave breaks along the cape and tends to hit its first reforming section at the point. The point is a large rock outcropping, where the wave tends to close-out as it arrives from the cape, but experienced surfers can often make the long barelling section in front of the point and begin the longest ride of their lives towards the pier. Taking off from the point, the ride takes you flying past the sand dunes and the hotels, arriving at the section known as El Hombre, which peels right in front of the infamous El Hombre motel/hostal. When the section from the point connects with the El Hombre section, you can ride the wave all the way into the town, right up to the pier! Most people don't have the legs to keep up with this fast rifeling wave for that entire distance." } ["3903"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "5913" [1]=> string(9) "Australia" [2]=> string(15) "New South Wales" [3]=> string(18) "City of Wollongong" [4]=> string(13) "East Corrimal" [5]=> string(8) "Corrimal" [6]=> string(8) "corrimal" [7]=> string(11) "-34.3809168" [8]=> string(12) "150.91910362" [9]=> string(42) "10km North from wollongong. look on a map."

Additional Info: Watch out for large rocks in or nearby take off zone (depends on swell direction and tide), the smaller the mushier, the larger the hollower." } ["3915"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "5930" [1]=> string(9) "Australia" [2]=> string(20) "Jervis Bay Territory" [3]=> string(0) "" [4]=> string(10) "Jervis Bay" [5]=> string(10) "Cave Beach" [6]=> string(10) "cave-beach" [7]=> string(12) "-35.16256461" [8]=> string(12) "150.66734076" [9]=> string(0) "" [10]=> string(21) "Short walk (5-15 min)" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(3) "Yes" [14]=> string(11) "Beach break" [15]=> string(14) "Right and left" [16]=> string(5) "Sandy" [17]=> string(55) "a:3:{i:0;s:4:"Fast";i:1;s:3:"Fun";i:2;s:9:"Powerless";}" [18]=> string(10) "Don't know" [19]=> string(19) "Normal (50 to 150m)" [20]=> string(23) "Very Long (300 to 500m)" [21]=> string(36) "a:2:{i:0;s:4:"West";i:1;s:4:"East";}" [22]=> string(21) "a:1:{i:0;s:4:"East";}" [23]=> string(7) "3ft-5ft" [24]=> string(5) "10ft+" [25]=> string(9) "All tides" [26]=> string(24) "Rising and falling tides" [27]=> string(5) "Empty" [28]=> string(5) "Empty" [29]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [30]=> string(0) "" } ["3916"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "5931" [1]=> string(6) "Brazil" [2]=> string(10) "São Paulo" [3]=> string(8) "Guarujá" [4]=> string(0) "" [5]=> string(9) "Sao Pedro" [6]=> string(11) "sao-pedro-2" [7]=> string(12) "-23.90922252" [8]=> string(12) "-46.16369247" [9]=> string(115) "Easy access.

Atmosphere: This spot has become one of my favorites this year because it seems to break harder and slightly bigger than other places along the Outer Banks. It's best out to the right in front of the storm drain. I've seen many sharks here on dawn patrols, but it's a good clean break with the right swell and wind direction. The wave is almost always hollow and it's great fun when it's not too crowded. Like almost all beach breaks though, there is plenty of peaks to go around.

In the middle of the beach you can get some nice rights and lefts (mostly rights when I have been there), some can run for a couple of hundred metres on a good day. These break on a sandy bottom with many sand bars all around. It is not a fast or powerful wave and the wipeouts are forgiving. Parking is pretty limited so if you are going, go during the weekdays. Gets packed during school holidays but is pretty quiet during the weekdays outside of schoolies. Last time I was there I saw many pods of dolphins, however normally where there are dolphones there are sharks. Typical rules in these waters... don't surf super early or super late.

The crowd is swell dependent (according to the friendly local talking to us about the spot), meaning it gets crowded when the surf is big...like most good spots worldwide. Atmosphere: If you make it to the water, look out for locals and sharks.The atmosphere at Pakala is pretty mellow. I got some bad looks from some of the locals, but others were extremely friendly and talked to me and my haole friends quite a bit. One older local guy even gave us tips on surfing the spot. Some of the less-mature locals dropped in on my buddy and were not friendly. There were a lot of couples and family's surfing together, with some of the really young kids on bodyboards. Overall, there was generally a great vibe at this spot. Additional Info: Small waves and sharks. Not great! Finding this spot is a bit difficult because it can't be seen from the road. There is guard rail and emergency call box about 100 yards west of mile marker 21 on highway 56, park there (you will probably see other cars parked there as well). Pakala is a left point break, so goofy-footers will love this spot. It breaks on a coral reef that gets very shallow when you ride the wave all the way in, so be careful. Luckily the takeoff area is not too shallow (about 4-8 feet deep depending on the tide). Both longboarders and shortboarders will like this wave. It is best on south swells. Water is a bit murky." } ["3939"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "5967" [1]=> string(9) "Sri Lanka" [2]=> string(17) "Southern Province" [3]=> string(5) "Galle" [4]=> string(8) "Rathgama" [5]=> string(9) "Owerkanda" [6]=> string(9) "owerkanda" [7]=> string(10) "6.09070469" [8]=> string(11) "80.13440609" [9]=> string(24) "Between Hikkaduwa&Galle."

As with many spots in this area it has 'boulder' type rocks not reef-rocks... Access to the water is on the beach to the left (south) of the point. All rocks have sharp shells and occasional urchins. The locals have been digging up the sand along the beach lately. They have used it to make a more 'protected' beach area directly in front of the point break. This means that the beach break has many more rocks than last year and the waves come up the beach much higher during high tide (much less area to safely suntan/keep your stuff/etc).

Atmosphere: The most secluded surfing spot in the Northern Gulf of Mexico due to its location. Make sure you watch the weather and check the swell forcast before you make the long journey. This is nothing like Fourchon Beach, Grand Isle Pier or Jetty area, Holly Beach, or Miss River's Southwest Pass jetty. The waves can be very large and if you are injured remember that you are miles from the nearest hospital. Additional Info: Boat & Airplane access only. One of the most secretive spots in the entire Gulf of Mexico due to location and because those in the know want to keep the Chaneleurs to themselves. Beautiful white beaches akin to Destin and blue water regularly moves into the area for beautiful un Louisiana like water clarity. In many areas of the chain the water goes from 20 to 30 ft straight onto a 2 to 3 ft sandbar which makes for amazing waves when the swells are pumping the Gulf. Normally though during the summer the wave height is typically 1 to 3 ft swells. Bring a fishing rod but remember that you can't put up a tent site on the islands because its a national park and bird sanctuary. Bring insect repellant and beware of sharks, especially the Bull Sharks in the area." } ["3971"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "6019" [1]=> string(13) "United States" [2]=> string(10) "California" [3]=> string(14) "Ventura County" [4]=> string(28) "Naval Air Station Point Mugu" [5]=> string(10) "Point Mugu" [6]=> string(10) "point-mugu" [7]=> string(11) "34.09613725" [8]=> string(13) "-119.11350131" [9]=> string(76) "It's on a military base so make sure you have a valid ID when driving on in."

When falling, try to jump far behind the wave and flat. In front of the wave, a wave magnifying apparatus made out of chains holding a 2 by 4 is installed - don't fall there either or you might get stuck (noone can help you there). Don't go in if it's all whitewater (powerful whirlpool in deep water zone, again: no one can help you when you're in there).

The main bulk of bodyboarding decent Knights is done during the Winter through Spring period when the sand has built back up in the corner after the seasonal stripping of the beach. Atmosphere: This is the S&M of wave riding. Additional Info: Heavy shorebreak + a wedge = Knights. Prefered by bodyboarders because their boards are harder to break, the rides are generally short and intense, and some of the sections look like landslides. Generally any surfers who attend knights are experienced, are there becuase there's nowhere else worth being, or have brains like their duck-taped single fins and are just as easily seen in any other location intimitating youngsters and punching people in the face.

It can produce some pretty scary rides. The barrels get pretty hefty. The launch sections are perfect for bodyboarding and surfing. Lotsa speed. It's hard to tell when the sets will come in because the swells come in from 300-500 foot deep water giving the wave a defecation load of power. The swells jack up and roll in with no mercy. If you're not paying attention you could get the worst beating of your life. Pipeline can give you a beating, but Yoks can roll you over the reef all the way to sand. I almost died out there. I've bashed my head and blacked out for a couple seconds and got three six foot bombs on the head. The place can be a nightmare. But it also can be the funnest wave to ride. Take a video camera. When the south shore has a swell, Yoks catches it a foot or two bigger. It is only worth checking when the surf report says the south shore is three feet or bigger. When there's a northwest swell of four feet, Yoks can take in the swell at six feet. It's a great place to get away from the crowds when swells hit, but I've seen Yoks crowded as hell. One irritating thing about this spot is the wind. At times it will blow offshore all day from sunrise to sunset. On the majority of days the wind will blow offshore for 30 minutes, then change onshore for 10 minutes, then switch back to offshore. The wind does this in weird increments and intervals. The locals are cool down here for some reason but that doesn't mean you can be a dick. Remember, you're still on the West Side. Atmosphere: If you want to feel like your in some place desolate on Oahu, go to Yokahama. Absolutely beautiful setting. This is where you can get the real deal of Oahu, Hawaii. Nice tradewind breezes, perfect water, hot and sunny, picturesque mountains, and a Hawaiian feel; it's the place to be on those sunny Hawaiian days. Many locals like to camp out on the weekends making the bay pretty occupied. Go there on Tuesday through Thursday and you'll find two camping tents and only the lifeguards surfing the waves all by themselves. Definitely worth the drive. Additional Info: Yokohama has a very demanding takeoff where making the drop can be very hairy. Lotsa backwash here but not to where it messes up the wave totally. It always seems to happen right when the wave is about to break so be ready for it. The left peak breaks over a hideous coral shelf with coral heads visisble one foot underwater. It can often be a lengthy ride but a barrel and a few hits on the lip and a launch ramp at the end are the norm. When the surf is big it creates a sandbar on the inside producing a powerful end section barrel or launch pad. The right is a whole different story. It tends to pinch but on its day, Yoks' right can be the barrel of a lifetime over a shallow reef bottom with a whole lot of caves. It's frustratingly fast as it starts to peel over the reef but the take off is easy. Do not eat it.

The surf shops here are few and don't really stock alot of surf products, coz there ain't much demand. However the surf scene here has improved alot as young teens like myself have taken to the beaches as there is all year sunshine. Dubai's the type of place where ppl with similar interests get to know each other quickly. There aren't that many spots to surf so we stick the few good ones. The mega problem is that the waves are too small for seriuos surfers. 10ft was probably the biggest the waves have ever got and experienced surfers start to get tired of tryin to surf minis. Dubai is better for bodyboarders. the great thing here is the weather. Ur almost guarented sunshine all year and ur bound to get a suntan. Also the sea life here ain't too dangerous. No big man-eaters, just some jellyfish and a baracuda or 2. Atmosphere: If ur a begginner, Dubai is a great place to start. Waves will rarely be big enough to scare the shit out of u and they are easy to catch. The bigger waves can be a challenge to catch, so u can keep practicing on those good days. I ain't much of surfer myself. I normally stick to bodyboarding (much easier and cheaper) and sometimes I go windsurfin when there are no waves. Bodyboardin is pretty wicked in DXB in the winter and it's an alternative to surfin. Also the waves don't have to be as big for body boardin. Most surfers here can't wait until the winter coz that's when the waves start comin in. Then we all head for the beach and spend the day surfin and bodyboardin. In Dubai every day with good waves counts coz when the waves have stopped u gotta wait until next winter. that's a long time to wait... Additional Info: The public beaches around Jumeirah are easy to access and normally there is plenty of parking. U will rarely find a crowded on the beach although on some weekends and public holidays it can become quite hard to park. But don't fret coz Dubai is mostly sand anyways so park on a dirt track on the side of the road. If ur from outside the UAE then I suggest u either take a taxi or the bus (if u wanna brave it). Taxix's are cheaper here than most places in the world, but the bus service isn't extremly reliable. The surf during the winter season is resonably good. It's great for beginners, on good days waves can break up to 6ft. On really good days ( after a freak storm or shamal) the waves can sometimes be 10ft+. But tis rare. On a good day, the waves can get to upto 6-8ft. The wind will normally tell u if there are waves. If there is wind, there will probably be waves. Also the longer the wind has been blowing (ie a week) the bigger the waves." } ["4102"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "6229" [1]=> string(11) "Puerto Rico" [2]=> string(8) "Patillas" [3]=> string(4) "Bajo" [4]=> string(9) "Lamboglia" [5]=> string(10) "California" [6]=> string(10) "california" [7]=> string(11) "17.97680435" [8]=> string(12) "-65.96570134" [9]=> string(68) "you have to find the street near the beach from Patillas to Maunabo."

Atmosphere: Some people surf the left off the peak now due to crowding issues and a left about 200m south also. I don't usually surf here much because it's a little too aggressive for a mellow surf, too much jostling over the suck rock. Additional Info: It's next to Crunchies. Park the car and head out. Best to walk out off the rocks and jump(easy). It's a short paddle to the lineup. It has a small takeoff zone next to or over a shallow flat rock, it's fairly competitive with all the crew. I don't think it's that good a wave but some may argue differently. It seems a bit short fattening out too quick. Though at a solid 4-5ft plus it can throw out a pretty mean tube.

The take off is really fast so use a board with some rocker. Additional Info: Glencairn reef is awsome when its on. Its a mean lefthander that breaks off an shallow reef, sometimes only a foot or so deep. Experienced surfers. Crazy when big. On big days after a winter storm the wave off the reef connects up to the beach break, can get epic! Be careful its really shallow and many a board has been snapped here." } ["4119"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "6257" [1]=> string(5) "Italy" [2]=> string(7) "Liguria" [3]=> string(2) "GE" [4]=> string(9) "Bogliasco" [5]=> string(9) "Bogliasco" [6]=> string(9) "bogliasco" [7]=> string(11) "44.37737511" [8]=> string(9) "9.0692246" [9]=> string(61) "Enter the small town of Bogliasco and go to the public beach."

Additional Info: the sand bars are well defined and its kinda deep. the inside is peeky but not to fast, for those shortboarders. watchout for longboarders, but most of them are friendly and you wont have a probmlem. General reccomendations: 1) Go the night before and camp so you can get waves at 6-7am. 2) Get a big board. Bingo Boards down the street rents short and long boards go with the 10' board. 3) Talk to people out there - no one will snub you - if you are new to surfing people will give you pointers if you ask. 4) There is a break near the jetty ~200 yards away that is probably the best break out there and usually everyone is much further down so it is not crowded. Also ~400 yards down where most people are there is a dead spot that makes it really easy to get out. This is where you talk with the locals while you paddle toward the nice break. 5) Notice the marine life. I have seen dolphin, sea turtles and black tipped sharks (they are small and skiddish - no worries) not to mention flying fish -> the other day I was out there and one landed on the board of a guy I was talking to LOL it was pretty funny. Also, if the surf is weak, watch for jellies... 6) Be patient and watch - wait for a good set and have a lot of fun!" } ["4122"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "6262" [1]=> string(20) "United Arab Emirates" [2]=> string(8) "Fujairah" [3]=> string(0) "" [4]=> string(7) "Al Aqah" [5]=> string(10) "Tim's Reef" [6]=> string(9) "tims-reef" [7]=> string(10) "25.4927908" [8]=> string(11) "56.36317849" [9]=> string(251) "Head towards Sandy Beach Hotel on the Fujerah road (towards fujerah).

Additional Info: This is the epic wave at Shipwreck Bay that everyone talks about. It starts way, way up the 1st point about 1km or so, where you can paddle out at the top from a small beach, as long as it isn't huge. It needs low tides and a really solid SW swell to even break, with SW winds. It breaks very fast, hollow, and hard for about 500m+, kind of like a reverse J Bay, before fattening out in Shipwrecks Bay, which is really a separate and much slower (2 or 3 star) wave, closer to the township and the carpark. You can get a ride up to nearly 1km on a big day, if you're lucky. There are several other good point-break waves further round the 7km cape, but access is very difficult. Various NZ surf guides you can buy in surf stores describe all these, so they are no big secret.

It's makable all the way to the heavy wedgy shore break. The shore break is a good bodyboarding wave when it's wedging - insane - fun fun!! (Alt view) I'm a bodyboarder and not to fond of crowds so my friend and I tend to surf the shorey , which tend to get very mean and very hollow. Lying to the right , next to the harbour wall the waves break against the wall (ocassionally breaking over the harbour wall) then catching the side wash you can connect it to some of the on coming waves and just let fly... or you could gun for a fat close-out tube. Additional Info: This is a very fickle spot and only works VERY occasionally only after a storm or big cold front. Best is to go to the back of the spot (end of the road) and jump off the rocks. Instant access. Difficult wave to catch with not all that much power but fun with lots of friend. Tend to be a bit crowded because it works such a little. If you're very lucky it will be sunny right after the storm and there will be plenty of hot women , hence the name - bikini beach. Heavy shore break wedging off the harbour wall for fat tubes and good air-time. Bikini Beach needs a huge SW swell to start working - plus 4 meters out at Cape Point. For the months heading into summer the winds can change to SE for an epic off-shore days. When everything falls into place this spot can go off. But it's rare. Access to the waves: walk along the rocks at the end of the road and jump over the waves from the nun's pool. Mind the cops - they need to give loads of illegal parking tickets." } ["4141"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "6296" [1]=> string(13) "United States" [2]=> string(6) "Oregon" [3]=> string(14) "Lincoln County" [4]=> string(7) "Newport" [5]=> string(11) "Agate Beach" [6]=> string(11) "agate-beach" [7]=> string(11) "44.65363474" [8]=> string(13) "-124.06293869" [9]=> string(79) "park your car on the side of the side of 101. and walk down trail to the beach."

It can also get pretty long, linking up with the beach. At its best at 4-6 feet+, it starts way out on the end of the point where it barrels from takeoff, then fattens out in the middle to end sections. You can fit in about 4 or 5 turns on a good day, but the outside hollow section is probably the best. It breaks close to the rocks, but you can pick off wide sets as well in deeper water. At 6-8 feet it will start to closeout and will need a higher tide, but all tides are good if its not too big." } ["4165"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "6330" [1]=> string(11) "New Zealand" [2]=> string(11) "Hawke's Bay" [3]=> string(0) "" [4]=> string(8) "Haumoana" [5]=> string(8) "Haumoana" [6]=> string(8) "haumoana" [7]=> string(11) "-39.5976366" [8]=> string(12) "176.94631577" [9]=> string(0) "" [10]=> string(23) "Instant access (<5 min)" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(3) "Yes" [14]=> string(10) "Rivermouth" [15]=> string(5) "Right" [16]=> string(10) "Flat rocks" [17]=> string(42) "a:2:{i:0;s:6:"Hollow";i:1;s:8:"Powerful";}" [18]=> string(23) "Regular (100 days/year)" [19]=> string(19) "Normal (50 to 150m)" [20]=> string(19) "Normal (50 to 150m)" [21]=> string(61) "a:3:{i:0;s:9:"NorthWest";i:1;s:4:"West";i:2;s:9:"SouthWest";}" [22]=> string(77) "a:4:{i:0;s:5:"South";i:1;s:9:"SouthEast";i:2;s:4:"East";i:3;s:9:"NorthEast";}" [23]=> string(13) "Less than 3ft" [24]=> string(5) "10ft+" [25]=> string(9) "All tides" [26]=> string(24) "Rising and falling tides" [27]=> string(11) "Few surfers" [28]=> string(7) "Crowded" [29]=> string(33) "a:1:{i:0;s:15:"Rips / undertow";}" [30]=> string(55) "a hollow grinding river mouth wave surfed by hot locals" } ["4166"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "6331" [1]=> string(8) "Portugal" [2]=> string(4) "Faro" [3]=> string(0) "" [4]=> string(9) "Albufeira" [5]=> string(9) "Albufeira" [6]=> string(9) "albufeira" [7]=> string(11) "37.08563532" [8]=> string(11) "-8.24868321" [9]=> string(36) "The main beach of Albufeira, Algarve" [10]=> string(21) "Short walk (5-15 min)" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(3) "Yes" [14]=> string(11) "Beach break" [15]=> string(14) "Right and left" [16]=> string(40) "Reef (coral, sharp rocks etc.) with sand" [17]=> string(26) "a:1:{i:0;s:9:"Powerless";}" [18]=> string(27) "Rarely breaks (5 days/year)" [19]=> string(12) "Short (<50m)" [20]=> string(12) "Short (<50m)" [21]=> string(22) "a:1:{i:0;s:5:"South";}" [22]=> string(22) "a:1:{i:0;s:5:"North";}" [23]=> string(13) "Less than 3ft" [24]=> string(10) "Don't know" [25]=> string(9) "All tides" [26]=> string(11) "Rising tide" [27]=> string(5) "Empty" [28]=> string(11) "Few surfers" [29]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [30]=> string(729) "it doesn't have waves that often and when it has the waves are not very good, but i loved to surf there with my friends! -- I agree.

To access the break, walk along the guard rail until you find the wooden ladder the fishermen use. If that's gone, look for a spot to climb down the seawall, but make sure you can get back up first!

Very scenic, with views of Box head, surrounding bush headlands and gullies. Additional Info: I surf this break and its brother Ocean Beach regularly. This beach is notorious for its long board and mini mal rides. Also good for a short board or a lid when it's pumping. Swell breaks on sand bars and always best for a stand up on a higher tide running in or out. On a good day you can get some very nice, powerful, fast waves with good sections. I have had days out here also where it has been 1 - 2 foot and I have been out on a mini mal / mal and caught very long waves (200+ metres).

This spot is for experienced big wave riders. If you're not sure of your ability or fitness try some of the other local breaks first (Kon Tiki, Penescal, Punta Rocas...) Additional Info: This is one of the biggest waves in South America - holding waves upto 24 feet - bring a Gun in the 9-10 feet range. It draws big wave riders from all over the world and has recently seen tow-in surfing. The wave only works when the swell is big and everywhere else is closing out. Tides are relatively unimportant - if the swell is big enough, then it will work. To add to the fun - the distance from shore makes getting positioned (and staying in position) really hard. Being in the wrong place is bad. The big pacific swells which rock in tend to have big long sets (15-20 waves / set), which means timing and placement are really important. If caught inside - watch out also for the reform shore-break on Playa Norte - when Pico Alto is big, this gets bad as well..." } ["4207"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "6386" [1]=> string(9) "Australia" [2]=> string(15) "New South Wales" [3]=> string(11) "Byron Shire" [4]=> string(12) "New Brighton" [5]=> string(21) "Brunswick Heads North" [6]=> string(21) "brunswick-heads-north" [7]=> string(12) "-28.53650072" [8]=> string(12) "153.55728149" [9]=> string(97) "Take the Ocean Shores turn-off going north on the Pacfic Highway from the town of Brunswick Heads" [10]=> string(23) "Instant access (<5 min)" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(3) "Yes" [14]=> string(16) "Breakwater/jetty" [15]=> string(5) "Right" [16]=> string(15) "Sandy with rock" [17]=> string(25) "a:1:{i:0;s:8:"Ordinary";}" [18]=> string(23) "Regular (100 days/year)" [19]=> string(19) "Normal (50 to 150m)" [20]=> string(19) "Normal (50 to 150m)" [21]=> string(42) "a:2:{i:0;s:9:"SouthWest";i:1;s:5:"South";}" [22]=> string(57) "a:3:{i:0;s:5:"South";i:1;s:9:"SouthEast";i:2;s:4:"East";}" [23]=> string(7) "3ft-5ft" [24]=> string(10) "Don't know" [25]=> string(9) "All tides" [26]=> string(10) "Don't know" [27]=> string(5) "Empty" [28]=> string(11) "Few surfers" [29]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [30]=> string(160) "Just OK Atmosphere: Plenty of better breaks along this coast.

O.K.The problem as i said, is the CURRENT. Know how to use it before you go. Know that on most winter gales, it gets 8 knots of speed. (Yes : 8 knots !). I worked twice there as a lifeguard and, definitely, this is NOT A FAMILY-BEACH. Get there to surf, then go to Pors Carn (southward, at the other side of the point) to swim with family and friends. The safest place at Pors Carn is at the other side of the cove. (1 meter waves with 4 meters swell) BONUS : La Torche point is the end of Audierne bay, the longest beach in Finistère... walk or take the car northward and turn left each time there is an access to shore : you will then discover that La Torche is not (thanks God!) the only spot around; and that the Landes do not have the only best beach breaks in France... (Then, as in any beach break, watch for the local danger : the "baïnes") Nearly uncrowded, hard-to-paddle enough to keep beginners on shore... See you there. Atmosphere: This spot is a real regional classic...and local officials use it to attract sport-oriented tourists. Publicly known, the spot is CROWDED ! On sunny weekends or summers, you'll easily count 100 to 200 surfers, wave-skiers, body boarders, drifting swimmers and, now, "fly surfers".It is too much, of course for a 20 to 50 yards peak zone...All you have to do is to come OFF (french) HOLIDAYS and ON WEEKDAYS. Though, it never gets really agressive and, thanks to the locals, this is a miracle. If you cannot come off holidays, watch and go for dawn high tides (5 or 6 A.M.). For a decent night life, take the first road on the right when leaving La Torche, at a night club called "A l'ouest". If you don't drink and drive, ask for a night club called "Le Kalao", near Quimper city. Additional Info: Take time to LOOK AT THE SURF ZONE. Along the rocky point, from the beach to high sea, a STRONG CURRENT will bring you (and anything else floating) to the peak. All you have to do is float on your board and wait for the lift...this is why locals call this current "L'ascenceur" (the Lift). When you want to get back to the beach, DO NOT paddle against this current : no matter how good you swim, it is stronger than you. Instead, go away from the point and let the waves push you ashore. (This is also what to do with a drifting and saltwater-swallowing swimmer, which happens all the time). Waves break right and left, with shorter rights that end up in the current. On a good day, you can take off, surf a nice right, push yourself to reach the backwash and take a "second" wave with a little tube on the last section. GREAT ! Then, all you have to do is paddle 3 strokes into the Lift and do it all again. If you choose to go on a left, it could be a 300 yards ride to the beach. Then, you can avoid the long, very long paddle/duck dive/paddle toward the peak : just walk back to the point and let the Lift push you in the peak zone. Summertime : do not surf between the two blue flags, this is the swimmers-only zone; and anywhere you go in summer remember : 2 blue flags mean NO surf.

The waves can travel from the sea at speeds of up to 40 kilometres per hour (25 mph), and when sea water at full tide combines with heavy rain upstream they can reach a height of 4–6 metres (13–20 ft), accompanied by a loud roaring sound and strong winds. Bono waves can persist for four hours or more, and travel as far upstream as Tanjung Pungai, Meranti, Pelalawan Regency, 60 kilometres (37 mi) inland. Bono is not just one wave but a series of many, sometimes on the left and right river banks and at other times in the middle of the river. Surfing the Bono waves is difficult, owing to the quantity of mud in the river. The large number of ships sunk in the Kampar River's estuary has been attributed to the Bono waves, called by locals as "Seven Ghosts", considered to be the incarnation of the seven evil spirits. Although they still used the river as the ground for boating agility tests. The river is inhabited by crocodiles, hence the surfers are usually escorted by rescue boats for their safety.

Jost van dyke is in its swell direction from the NW but doesn't block any swell. Fun longboard wave when it's under chest high and breaks on even the smallest swells. When it's over chest high, it's a shortboard wave. Barrels a lot and has long rides. It's in the middle of a bay but the reef winds down on both sides making rights and lefts. The right is the best but the left is good too. There's channels for both but it breaks in the left's channel when its 8 foot or bigger. Strong NW swells over 12' face close out the bay but one of the best spots in the world is 20 min. away in Cane Garden Bay for big waves.(has to be at least 8 foot)Apple bay can get crowded in the winter on good swells but it's spread out and there's plenty of waves." } ["4248"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "6445" [1]=> string(13) "United States" [2]=> string(10) "New Jersey" [3]=> string(15) "Monmouth County" [4]=> string(19) "Middletown Township" [5]=> string(19) "Sandy Hook The Cove" [6]=> string(19) "sandy-hook-the-cove" [7]=> string(11) "40.41767629" [8]=> string(12) "-73.97926748" [9]=> string(89) "Exit 117 Garden State Parkway, Follow signs to Sandy Hook.

A good spot to hit when the conditions are right and Long Island is cross shore from the west with an easterly swell Atmosphere: Get there early! On a decent day, the place fills up fast with boardriders of all kinds. It can get agressive at times. Also a hotspot for surf-fishermen who in general don't want you there. A bit less aggro as size picks up and crowd thins. Decent surf year round, with the late summer or early fall being the best due to tropical systems churning in the Atlantic. Additional Info: The Cove is an artificial point break created by erosion control measures.

The banks like any beach break can be fickle, but on a good day I'd compare it to Hossegar France. Heavy tubes breaking on shallow banks. The best time of year is Feb - April when cyclones produce consistent swell for weeks on end. Crowds tend to be pretty thin (maybe in weekends a bit hectic) but the there's plenty to do other than surfing and the scenery (in all the coromandel) is world class Additional Info: You can park your car right beside the beach. Public access from the road is permitted. Its a heavy beach break so take a longer board when the swell is up. When the swell is real big hit it from Mid to high tide, when its small try mid to low.

Hire a boat from a local as the paddle out is long and currents are strong through the reef pass. My guide advised taking the last wave of every set as the earlier waves put more water on over the reef. It closes out on dry reef at the end of the section so get off when the opportunity presents itself.

Anyway if anyone wants any advice feel free to give me a yell, I live here! ... lamoucate Atmosphere: intense wave... very fast, but very fickle, as it needs prefect conditions. It turns on and off very quickly, as the tidal range is big and the wind effects it. The wind is like clockwork in this area. Every afternoon it picks up from 2pm from the SE, so you need to time it that you get there with a high tide in the afternoon. We had it perfect, with spring high at 4pm and low at about 11-ish, which is perfect time for Jellie-babies, which gets really good on a larger swell on spring low. You need good local knowledge. Heavy take off which then rifles off down the line like a runnaway freight train, make sure you got a few surfs under your belt before surfing here once it hits the 4ft + mark otherwise you could get hurt. I also seriously advise taking a first aid kit on board with you as it breaks over shallow reef and reef gashes are not uncommon. Additional Info: very fical..but when breaks...very heavy but epic..kinda like maccaroni..but longer.....a mission and you gotta know when how and have swell...and medication..no running water or power on land..the country is wrecked...and thats by african standards FB's is a very consistent wave but hard to get to, basically you need a boat and good local knowledge of winds, tides, and swell direction to get it on and moreover you really need to know when you should go and even moreso when you shouldn't ... coming back into howling head winds is a friggin nightmare!" } ["4267"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "6476" [1]=> string(9) "Australia" [2]=> string(15) "New South Wales" [3]=> string(16) "City of Randwick" [4]=> string(6) "Coogee" [5]=> string(13) "Coogee Bombie" [6]=> string(13) "coogee-bombie" [7]=> string(12) "-33.91811429" [8]=> string(12) "151.26435757" [9]=> string(93) "In Clovelly, go south on Arden St, left at Arcadia St to Dunningham Reserve.

It's a guessing game as to when someone is going to be checking it and almost impossible to be the first ones out. Usually at sunrise, someone is already paddling out.It doesn't break with near the frequency or perfection that Hazard Canyon does and during the summer it can lay dorment for a long time. Needs a Northwest or West with a little punch to really get it going. It is a solid wave however, with some barrels to be had, and highly guarded by the old-timers. Atmosphere: The locals here are worse than Hazards. Probably because it can litterally only hold about 5 surfers on the peak. After that, someone isn't getting any waves.And they will #@*@ with your car here. It's much easier for them to do so without being seen because the parking is tight and so limited and sort of nestled in tall brush.One option is to park at the 1st pulloff past the Hazard Canyon Dirt Parking Lot. This pulloff also has trailheads that lead over the dunes and you can zig-zag your way to the top of the dunes and get a good look at Hazards and Left Spot.Plus, if your car is less likely to get messed with at this pullover spot. It's also a small pullout for just a few cars and mostly people that hike the dunes pullover here. Additional Info: See above for directions to the spot. You can park your car on either side of the road.Be warned. If there are already 3 cars, consider Left Spot to be crowded.Sometimes, it's worth hanging out on the dunes or reef until someone paddles in. But most often they are paddling in because the tide shifted and it sucks.If there are 5 guys out dont paddle out.This spot litterally cannot hold that many people. It doesn't catch all the swell that Hazards does and not every wave is worth taking off on.When it's small it breaks really close to the dry reef sticking out of the dunes. It hurts if you hit your head on this stuff.The drop can be critical when it's large with a quick barreling section aftwards and followed by a short workable shoulder.Paddle out is easy. Just walk out to the North Side of where the waves are breaking and jump in. There is a channel of flowing water right into the takeoff zone.There are only LEFT's that break here. You can go right, but you won't like it.Overall it's a good wave and not extreme as Hazards just to the North.When you are out at Hazards you can often see guys dropping into Left Spot if you look south.

But before ask to some fishermen how deep is the water in order to choose where you want to jump. Don't do it at low tide !

Atmosphere: It's a fishing beach so can be a bit fishy smelling at times. Also over the last few years there has been a marked increase in fishing related detritus such as discarded nets, floats and plastic. A lot of locals visit the point to picnic and to fish. However the beach is large so you can find somewhere secluded to camp. Additional Info: In a 2 wheel drive you can drive on back top until about 200 metres from the point. In a 4x4 you can drive right up on to the point. The wave works from Late-June until early-September which coincides with the Khareef. he wave handle the cross Khareef wind well. However large swell and strong winds produce a rip that will carry you from the peak and deposit you right down the beach in a matter of minutes. Luckily the rip runs pretty much parallel with the beach. To counter the rip either use a bigger board that is easier to paddle, surf earlier in the morning or late afternoon. Mid-August to early-September often sees moderate swells and moderate winds which result in fun waves. You can paddle in off the point. Either jumping in off the rocks or wading in through one of the several key holes. There is a wave through most tides however at full tide the wave can be a bit fat. The wave breaks better on lower tides." } ["4277"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "6492" [1]=> string(6) "Russia" [2]=> string(18) "Krasnodarskiy kray" [3]=> string(13) "City of Sochi" [4]=> string(13) "Bolshoy Sochi" [5]=> string(11) "Khosta-Rica" [6]=> string(11) "khosta-rica" [7]=> string(11) "43.50633989" [8]=> string(11) "39.86858815" [9]=> string(0) "" [10]=> string(23) "Instant access (<5 min)" [11]=> string(7) "Unknown" [12]=> string(7) "Unknown" [13]=> string(3) "Yes" [14]=> string(11) "Point break" [15]=> string(5) "Right" [16]=> string(8) "Boulders" [17]=> string(20) "a:1:{i:0;s:3:"Fun";}" [18]=> string(31) "Sometimes breaks (50 days/year)" [19]=> string(12) "Short (<50m)" [20]=> string(19) "Normal (50 to 150m)" [21]=> string(6) "a:0:{}" [22]=> string(41) "a:2:{i:0;s:4:"East";i:1;s:9:"NorthEast";}" [23]=> string(7) "3ft-5ft" [24]=> string(5) "10ft+" [25]=> string(10) "Don't know" [26]=> string(10) "Don't know" [27]=> string(11) "Few surfers" [28]=> string(11) "Few surfers" [29]=> string(94) "a:3:{i:0;s:15:"Rips / undertow";i:1;s:29:"Man-made danger (buoys etc..)";i:2;s:9:"Pollution";}" [30]=> string(643) "Aloha!

When I first moved to Guam when I was stationed there in the Coast Guard in the mid Eighties. I saw the Boat Basin Lefts on a 6-8 foot and CHARGING SWELL. It was also magnificent. Perfect shape. Although the Left is not as consistant as the Right, the right breaks alot more and is good from 1 freakin foot on up to 7. Always hallow. You just have to kick out of everyride or wind up on the coral and rocks by the jetty. I love Agana! Atmosphere: Guam is pretty mellow. Locals are pretty cool at the Boat Basin. Little more local at private spots. This place is located in down town Agana. Easy to see off street. Two good breaks at spot. Either the Rights when it is below 7 foot. Or surf the lefts when the swell is 4-5 foot plus. Additional Info: This is probably one of the best and most visible spots on Guam. The left at the harbor entrance is the main surf spot, although there is a ledgy right on the other side of the harbor that is ridden mostly by bodyboarders. The left is reminiscent of Ala Moana, although shorter and not quite as hollow, and is one of the few spots on the island that can hold size. Consequently it is popular with the locals, who tend to commandeer the small takeoff zone when conditions are good. Respect is essential for outsiders. The harbor has been known to be polluted so watch out after rain and if you have open cuts. After parking you have to walk out on jetty and pass "da boys". If it is too big to surf Agana Boat Basin Rights, that means the Lefts are just starting baby. I always waited for the set waves. The first waves I let the locals have-em. Park your car by the outdoor food courts or by the baseball field." } ["4280"]=> array(31) { [0]=> string(4) "6495" [1]=> string(9) "Australia" [2]=> string(17) "Western Australia" [3]=> string(8) "Stirling" [4]=> string(11) "Scarborough" [5]=> string(18) "Peasholm Dog Beach" [6]=> string(18) "peasholm-dog-beach" [7]=> string(12) "-31.90783038" [8]=> string(12) "115.75484285" [9]=> string(134) "15, or more, minute walk down the beach south of scabs or 2 minute drive down west coast highway into the next left after Brighton rd."

But hey some of the wilder reef breaks made me consider a boogie board (youd need stainless steel legs to avoid tissue damage.) and take snokelling gear why not do it all in one hit. Atmosphere: this spot is awesome it has so much pace and power it will blow your mind.It is a local break on a typical islander village the people are freindly and good fun the break itself seems to cope with upto 10 people. However its not the place to hassel into the peak as you could find yourself landing on exposed coral nor is the place to be greedy have your ride and pull off as you can very quickly be looking at doing a floater onto exposed tree coral. I took a bic plastic board as my wife and baby can get use out of this aswell as it is to be noted that contact with the coral on a duck dive is inevitable.
