Saturday, June 18th 2022, International Surfing Day
Surfing once – loving it forever. As the ocean won’t ever let go.
And we tell you what – we’ve got some places prepared for you as the Surfing Day’s coming.
21 July is not just Surfing Day, though. Established in 2004 by Surf Magazine and The Surfrider Foundation USA, it is actually a day to remember – we have to save our oceans and beaches.
For instance, take Hugo Tagholm – a great example to learn from! As he’s making an impact along with the Surfers Against Sewage organisation, he enjoys his hobby at the same time.
So here are some amazing places for both beginners and experts.

It’s the Coral Sea coast, Australia
The sand colour is white. Here is 60km of paradise. This is Australia, the Gold Coast city, and you can surf here all year round. And they don’t call it gold for nothing.
Lifeguards are constantly watching for everything going on in the water. The uniqueness of this place strikes you as soon as you arrive. Giant skyscrapers look out into the deep blue ocean, those are almost like lighthouses, casting their shadows on the sand at the golden hour.
The ancient marine element interweaves with modern civilization’s technological progress. Spectacular!
Superbank, Karambin Alley, Duranbah Beach – those beaches for you if you feel confident on your surfboard.
Palm Beach and Rainbow Bay – are more for beginners.
Mentawai Islands, Indonesia
Mentawai’s islands are all over the west coast of Sumatra. And those are the best places to surf. You got islands to choose from: Siberut, Sipora, Pagai Utara, and Pagai Selatan.
Come here at any time of the year, but the highest waves hunt begins in April and continues till October!
Jeffreys Bay, South Africa
This place is in the top five most popular spots among surfers. They gather here all over the world for the World League competition. Come here to catch three-metre high waves in May and serf it till September!
Catch the wave in Morocco!
There are a lot of places to surf, as the Atlantic ocean is just for surfing. The coastline goes from Gibraltar to the Sahara in the south. There are plenty to choose from –
150 surf spots, not mentioning secret ones.
Head north or to the centre of the country – Agadir and Essaouira districts.
Rocks and cliffs are common in Morocco. Therefore, the waves are just perfect.
It’s better – the sandy bottom is safer, so it’s worth learning to surf here.
Taghazout, Agadir
There is a place for both beginners and advanced surfers. By the way, even Jimi Hendrix himself surfed here!
India, Goa
The length of the Indian coast is 7.5 thousand km, and the waves are just perfect.
The northern and southern parts of Goa are quite different in terms of leisure. While the southern part is mostly for family travel, the north offers some good surfing spots.
Calangute, Baga, Candolim beaches are the closest to the airport and the loudest, as the nightlife is raging. Loved both by tourists and locals. Though, if you’re searching for something slightly serene, better choose Ashvem or Mandrem – those are less crowded, the descent into the sea here is shallow and gentle.
Egypt
Windsurfing is very popular in Egypt, as well as kitesurfing. Surfers love Hurghada, Dahab and Safaga.
Dahab
Those are high mountains close to the water that make high speed waves for surfer to concur.
There are 3 zones: for beginners, the second with the 1m high waves and the third one for pros.
Oceanwater is full of negative ions proven to enhance your mental state. A good company goes well along that sport, too. So, grab your surfboards, grab your friends, and go meet some dolphins, enjoy the crumbling waves, the sun, the sand, and just have fun, really!
