A lot of people say surfing hails from this part of the world with history dating back to Southern Californian waves and the big breaks from Hawaii. No matter where you are in this part of the world, there are some serious surf breaks to be enjoyed and worth the travel to get there.
The East Coast of the US has a big surf culture particularly in Florida with its year round sunshine and warm weather. The surf season in Florida lasts from early August through winter and into mid spring. The hurricane season generally brings in some big southeasterly swells that keeps the locals happy all throughout the fall. Winter season in this neck of the woods produces the most consistent surf with long period groundswells from the northeast.
The West Coast of the US has its best surf in the surfing state of California. With its 1100 miles of coastlines, there is a diverse range of breaks that suit all different types of levels. Southern California has a number of popular spots with Malibu and San Onofre. Central California although not as well renowned as its neighbors below and above, also has some great spots including Santa Cruz, Mavericks and breaks close to San Francisco.
Northern California which starts from Marin County to the border of Oregon is a rugged coastline with some heavy breaks. Water here is cold but there are many secret spots that only the locals know about that are worth the drive to check out.
Hawaii is often known as the mecca of all surfing destinations and the birthplace of wave riding. The big swells arrive here in winter with Pipeline and Sunset on the Oahu north shore attracting world class surfers. Beaches along Waikiki are also a good starting point for those beginner surfers. There are too many great breaks here to mention and surf aside, this is one place that should be on everyone's bucket list.
