While heading to some of these destinations won't guarantee good waves, these swell-exposed coastlines will certainly boost your chances of scoring!

I live in California and surf almost every day before school. The beach breaks make it so that there's always something and the reefs turn on as soon as it gets over 2ft.

Sometimes in the winter Portugal even has too much swell and too much wind, but there’s always a place to surf. In the Summer and around that there’s always lots of NW wind, specially in the evenings and sometimes fog in the morning. October/November/December are probably the best months and then January/February/March

@ignacioperezortiz4291 25 дней назад

Hey Dan! here in Chile the north swells can create a true barrel fest on the left-hand point breaks, but only the high energy north swells arrive. The south swells of the Pacific are really busy on summer too, so even if there are no north swells, it's very unlikely to find a flat day.

@DanHarmon123 25 дней назад

Ahhh interesting! I guess it creates an interesting angle on those points as opposed to the prevailing south swells!

Here in Portugal in winter sometimes gets too much you have to be on sheltered coasts as Lisbon or South Algarve. But still, nothing to complain, even in summer we have well overhead waves on the west coast, just mind the cold waters...

@SaveHawaiiReefs 20 дней назад

I lived on Oahu for 8 years. It definitely has what locals consider “flat spells” especially in the summer when those south swells get shadowed. Tourist will go out in any old junk to say they surfed Hawaii. But ther a plenty of times that no self-respecting local will go out. There are even periods on the North Shore during the winter, when locals stay home.

Your ideas for videos are really great. There are a lot of surf channels, but few of the hosts take the time to explain in detail what it's like to visit a place, and how to get the best out of a visit. Thanks Dan for putting in the time and dedication so that other people can become better surfers✌🤙

@MH_347 18 дней назад

As an added tip. For all the destinations he mentions avoid the name spots. Overpacked and not worth surfing due to human traffic.

@visionsetabove 25 дней назад

Hawaii obviously has its days, although there are a lot more things that have to line up than you might think. A lot of the time the offshore wind is too strong to get a good surf in, and the swell direction matters a lot depending on the spot. I’ve lived in both California and Oahu and in terms of just consistency I’d say California takes the crown

@connorm3457 25 дней назад

Grew up islands, West Honolulu, graduating from town to country, and anywhere else that had waves. West side is home. Stuck up mainland now, and will never acclimate to wetsuits, and no option of offshores.

@ramzitubbeh-fy8sz 24 дня назад

Yes, I can attest as a Peruvian. Central and southern Peru are extremely consistent, with very few flat days in the summer. Northern Peru gets slightly smaller surf from south swells in the winter and receives good north swells in the summer. Also, northern Peru is not just consistent, but also world class.

@texassurfjournal 24 дня назад

@@ramzitubbeh-fy8szwhere would you recommend in Peru for the entire months of December and January? Near Chicama?

@ramzitubbeh-fy8sz 24 дня назад

@@texassurfjournal Your best shot would be northern Peru: Lobitos (intermediate/advanced) picks up swell from many directions; Cabo Blanco (experts only) and Mancora (intermediate surfers) pick up north swell. Chicama is in north-central Peru. It requires big swells, so I don't recommend it in the summer. Pacasmayo is just 1 hour north of Chicama--it's very long, a bit bigger, and more consistent, so not a bad choice. The surf just south of Lima (south central Peru) is reasonably consistent in the summer because it picks up even small south swells and the occasional big north swell. In any case you would have to fly to Lima, so maybe you can refine your plans once you're there, based on the forecast.

What you said about Western Australia was true before climate change, this year they had trouble getting swell at the Margaret River Pro. With the situation being reversed, where Super Bank on the East Coast has been getting months and months of swell , and often uncrowded, despite your claims there’s always hundreds out, even when it’s no good! You stopped surfing it when you left, and I kept surfing it because I live here.Thats why your instant expert wherever you go , doesn’t always work!
