There\u2019s a lot of ocean in the world, which mean\u2019s there\u2019s a lot of beach, which means there are a lot of places to surf. But some waves rise above others and some scenery is so beautiful it can make even a wipeout seem worth it. Here are 10 of the best surf spots in the world.<\/p>\n
PIPELINE, OAHU<\/strong><\/p>\n Hawaii Pipeline is a fixture on the surf tour circuit for a reason. It\u2019s one of the heaviest waves in the world, but it\u2019s also one of the deadliest, so chances are you\u2019re probably not good enough to surf here yet. Hell, you may never be, but keep practicing.<\/p>\n SUPERTUBES, JEFFREYS BAY<\/strong><\/p>\n South Africa In short: Supertubes lives up to its name. With the some of the most consistent tube surfing in the world, it\u2019s no wonder it\u2019s popular. But again, the tubes and waves here aren\u2019t for the faint of heart\u2014so be sure you\u2019re ready for it.<\/p>\n PUERTO ESCONDIDO, OAXACA<\/strong><\/p>\n Mexico Puerto Escondido is known to many as the Mexican Pipeline. Which is to say: huge waves, a gorgeous beach and a lot of surfing competitions. Plus, the local food is great, so how can you go wrong?<\/p>\n LIMA, PERU<\/strong><\/p>\n Don\u2019t let the pebbled beach and gray water scare you away; there\u2019s great surf to be had in Lima. Waves have a fairly large range and pier waves break into three sections, perfect for surfers of all skill levels.<\/p>\n GOLD COAST<\/strong><\/p>\n Australia There are too many great surf spots on the Gold Coast of Australia to pick just one. It\u2019s Australia\u2019s national sport, so just pick a bay and chances are it\u2019ll be ready for the surfing. And that\u2019s absolutely what you should do.<\/p>\n ZUMA BEACH, MALIBU<\/strong><\/p>\n California When you go to Zuma, you should expect clean beaches and world-class breaks. You should also expect there to be a lot of people. But if you\u2019re willing to deal with crowds, then this a must-surf location.<\/p>\n MANU BAY, RAGLAN<\/strong><\/p>\n New Zealand With good surf and a slight chance of a barrel wave, Manu is also a gorgeous surf location. Oh, and it\u2019s famous thanks to the 1960s cult flick Endless Summer, which is why there\u2019ll be crowds, but did I mention it\u2019s gorgeous and there\u2019s good surf?<\/p>\n HOSSEGOR<\/strong><\/p>\n France Of course the \u201csurfing capitol of Europe\u201d is on this list. It\u2019s a great place to watch the pros expertly navigate tubes rivaling Hawaii\u2019s. Hossegor can be dangerous for beginners though, so only head here once you\u2019re confident in your surf skills.<\/p>\n FUERTEVENTURA, CANARY ISLANDS<\/strong><\/p>\n Spain \u201cFuerteventura\u201d means strong winds, so it\u2019s no surprise it\u2019s famous for its windy conditions. So head here for awesome wind surfing, and great long and short board surfing. Oh, and the Canary Islands? Beautiful.<\/p>\n NORTH MALE<\/strong><\/p>\n Maldives Surfing and the gorgeousness that is the Maldives\u2014what\u2019s not to love? North Male has a pretty consistent reef wave, but the rocky conditions around it can be on the dangerous side, so it\u2019s probably in your best interest to go with a liveaboard group.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There\u2019s a lot of ocean in the world, which mean\u2019s there\u2019s a lot of beach, which means there are a lot of places to surf.
