If playing with the waves is something you love, then you should know about some of the best places in the world for surfing.
Banzai Pipeline, Oahu, Hawaii
There is no better place to start the list than from the motherland of surfing, beautiful Hawaii. Banzai Pipeline or simple Pipeline is the granddaddy of all waves and the most sought-after surf destinations in the world. Even the best of the bests feel challenged here, but it has been on the bucket list of every great surfer to surf along its perfect crest. Banzai Pipeline has some of the heaviest waves globally, rising about six meters on average over the shallow base. The best time to surf here is in the morning, between 8 a.m. to 10 a.m.
Cloud Nine, Siargao Island, Philippines
Cloud 9 is one of the best surfing spots in the world. It is located on Siargao Island, Philippines. Surfing here is a remarkable and stunning experience. It offers incredible waves that are touched by Pacific Ocean swells and winds. The sea here is omnipresent, and the thick hollow barreling of cloud nine offers left and right-hand rides that make it a thrilling surf experience. Moreover, this place is quite remote that helps in preserving its environment and making it an authentic surf experience.
Supertubes, Jeffrey’s Bay, South Africa
Known as surfers paradise, Jeffrey’s Bay, SA, offers the best right-hand ride you can witness anywhere. If you are an advanced surfer, you can visit Supertube, which is tremendous fun and dangerous. You can ride waves here that are up to hundreds of meters long. Several parts of the bay offer a different level of difficulty to the surfers.
Les Cavaliers, Anglet, France
It is one of the best-known family-friendly surf locations in the world. It offers beach breaks that are unparalleled in the world. Flanked by two rocky girders, Les Cavaliers offer a right-hand ride. The surfing experience becomes perfect with offshore winds and west swells. However, watch out for locals who are very possessive about their waves and don’t like it when you steal their waves. Because of powerful waves, Les Cavaliers host several pro surf competitions and events around the year.
Ulu Watu, Bali
This is no less than a Paradise Island that attracts expert surfers from around the world. Ulu Watu is known for its professional-grade waves.
