Usa Classic

The Best Surfing Destinations In America

First on your surfing holiday itinerary should be the amazing Cocoa Beach in Florida. This beach is home to some classic breaks but you have to make sure your trip is timed right. Go in summer and your surf trip might end up being a wash out, with you spending more time paddling about than you do riding. Visit in the colder months however and you’re in for a treat. The conditions in the winter months are so much more reliable and will easily provide you with some 10ft dream waves. The beach is very safe and has a great party atmosphere all year round so its perfect for beginners and those just looking to have a good time. If you’re after the best surf possible, make sure you visit between November and March

Secondly, how about visiting the surf that started it all. Hawaii has long been known as a surfing paradise. Mainly because it’s home to some of the best and largest waves on earth but also because it embraces surfing so openly.  It’s so steeped in surfing history that you would not be blamed for grabbing some wetsuits and spending your whole time in the water, however also visiting historic sites, talking to locals about surfboards, or checking out the thousands of surfboards on sale is also recommended. Well, perhaps not the whole time, some must be saved to witness the 20ft beasts in Oahu, and the luxurious sands and swells at Ehukai Beach and Waimea Beach. Pure Heaven

Last but not certainly not least, no American surf holiday would be complete without experiencing the “surf city” and land of board shorts, Huntington USA.The sun never goes down on this area and its attracts top surfers like bees to honey. Some of surfing’s biggest stars hang out here a lot and you’ll be sure to catch one of the many surfing comps that take place frequently.It can become pretty manic here though, eleven millions people came to visit last year. So if the bustling atmosphere isn’t your scene then come in winter to enjoy equally good riding conditions.
