  2. eyeball reporter Wave Bandit Small again but a bit of west in the SSSSW wind this morning so its cleaner than this time yesterday, and more organised with a few banks lining up ok even if it is only knee to waist high. If you are getting wet today, I'd be going early and hitting the open stretches before the winds swings MORE S-SE and messes things up...take a board with some beef in it and bring some enthusiasm coz tis hard when its small and cold after 6 weeks of good waves
  3. Surfsouthoz Surf South Oz: ‘South-Coast SA: More classic Autumn goodness on the South Coast this morning with light offshore N winds and clean, lined up swell. Surf is around 2' along the Middleton - Goolwa stretch with some bigger sets around the Waits / Parson's side.’
  4. Http___www Surf South Oz: ‘Mid-Coast SA: Winds are just a puff from the North and conditions are clean early, but surf is only around half a foot on the Mid. Low tide is around 8am and there's a chance swell will lift a tad mid morning as the tide comes in.’

Lu Bagnu surf break:

5b06b8be6c0ee011049208b5b13557ff

“This onetime sleepy village ( Lu Bagnu-Castelsardo) turned hippie / surfer enclave is one of the best place in Sardinia to learn to surf. There are a variety of waves to suit different levels .
Good fun all day.

Enjoy.”

Morro Negrito surf break:

197573e871b91a8a0cfe010b80c39913

“I recently returned from a week at Morro Negrito and the entire experience was awesome. I booked this trip months in advance and watched the reviews pour in from other surfers. I wasn't sure exactly how everything was going to come together but it did; flawlessly. We arrived in Panama and were greeted by David who was amazingly helpful and took great care to ensure that we had everything that we needed. The staff in Puerto Yurre (Ruly, Elise, Lucy, Raul, Chano and Chefi) were unbelievably cordial and really went out of their way to ensure that we were comfortable and prepared for the day's adventures. The surf breaks were incredible, the islands were beautiful and the people were warm and welcoming. Our surf guide, was knowledgeable and went to great lengths to ensure that we had an awesome experience. Already planning to go back next year. ”

Scarborough Beach surf break:

6fc71c91e6f4f8aabc3d848861864c02

“This is a great beach break, one of my favorites. This beach is generally one of the most consistent breaks in Maine. The surf from big swells is very steep, fast, and can barrel. This makes a great wave for a shortboard. It can be great fun to bring out the longboard and cruise too. The beach is very nice as well. The water seems to get warmer here than other places. Although be ware of rip currents that occur on a regular basis. There are lifeguards and a snack shack near by too. Over all this is my favorite beach in Maine.”

A Note About Secret Spots

In compiling this website, we have endeavoured to include data for the main global surf breaks. If anyone feels we have accidentally exposed a secret spot, let us know and if we agree that it is sensitive, we'll take it down.

We have moved the animated swell and weather maps to a new server. Our tests suggest it is much faster. If you previously found the maps slow to load, please try again. Best wishes. The Surf-forecast team.
