Surf Travel – Tips From The Perfect Wave Team

     

The crew at Perfect Wave Travel know a thing or two, and so we asked them to share some of their hard-won wisdom.

Surf travel can be a challenging trade, trying to match the dream to the dates, budget and level of surfer. But there is nothing better than when it all comes together, and everyone comes home stoked!

Just a few tips to consider for your next trip:

1. Pick the two that matter to you

Every surfer is chasing the same dream. You know – it’s THE trip, you want;

World-Class Waves: Pumping, consistent, and only a day or two of travel away.

No Crowds: Ideally, just you, your friends, and the horizon.

Great Value: An epic mission that doesn’t stretch the budget.

But here’s the cold, hard reality: You can only ever get two of three!

If you want guaranteed uncrowded, be prepared to pay for an exclusive surf resort like Kandooma. Alternatively travel further off the beaten track, like PNG or Laamu

Expert Tips from our Team

Respect goes a long way.
Learn the local lineup etiquette before you paddle out — respect goes a long way, and good vibes often lead to better waves for you.

The Early Bird gets the Waves.
Doing the Dawn patrol session isn’t just about glassy conditions — it’s your best chance to surf world-class waves with half the crowd.

Don’t leave waves in search of waves.
If its good here now, surf here now!

Watch a few sets from the bottom of the wave.
You can’t see what happens from the top of the lineup, and you could be missing some end sections.

Watch when the guides surf.
They’ll know when and where. Their seasons of experience are probably better than what you will learn on a week-long trip.

Don’t take the forecast too seriously until you’re a couple of days out.

If in doubt, pack the extra board… even if you don’t ride it in the end…
