Recommendations for Surf Trip Jul/Aug

D!armu!d · 2009-06-16 22:27:59

First time posting here so if there's a thread on this already can you let me know? Thanks Am looking to book a 3/4 week break in July/Aug. Any ideas on where would have good, fairly reliable surf at this time of year? Budget could stretch to Europe/Morocco/Central America/Brazil. Only got chance to take time off work now…

Europe: france would be high season summer madness but bound to be some swell there in August but could be lots of flatness too.

Morcocko: would be too friggin hot and pretty flat I'd imagine.

Brazil: prob would be ok but similar to france.

Central America: I think that July/August are peak months for Costa Rica (pacific side) and any countries north/south of there so that could be a very sure bet. Mexico as well pumps during that time of year.

For a similar price to CA, you could also try the following:

South Africa: once the sardine run is over, anywhere from Durban to J-Bay would be solid in July/August.

Indo: head for Bali, flights would prob cost the same but it would be cheaper there.

Lots of options but if you want consistent swell that time of year, the southern hemisphere is the way to go.

Has anyone been to Florianopolis in Brazil? The surf looks like it would be good around that time, but the accomodation is a bit pricey..
