TPW team recommends… TOP 10 surf experiences to do during Aussie summer (October-April)
Well the Indian Ocean & South Pacific surf seasons has come to an end and the water warms up back at home. But the surf on our home beaches during summer doesn’t really deliver the same satisfaction as perfect pealing reefs breaks in tropical paradises. As much as we love surfing at home, you might be surprised to know that the coming months offer something that is pretty rare at home: Uncrowded tropical surf breaks at very affordable prices to make you forget about sharing your local break with hundreds of other surfers.
So The Perfect Wave Team had a meeting and came up with our “TOP TEN SUMMER SURF EXPERIENCES” that we know will deliver you the crowd relief you crave. We thought of families, all-boys surf trips as well as girls-only, destinations that offer advanced waves for real chargers as well as fun beginner/intermediate breaks. The following list lacks nothing to offer for any kind of surfer you might be, and the trips are all hand-picked by our surf experience specialist team that have been there and done it!
