Staying at an oceanfront villa at a top surfing destination may be the best vacation choice you'll make. Waves were not created equal, and every surf spot has a different style and personality. Some are smooth while others are top performance, teeth grating drums. There are numerous top surfing destinations all around the globe. These surfing destinations are not just famous for their marvelous waves; they are also famous for the surfers who visit on a yearly basis. For beginners and surf veterans, staying at oceanfront villas in these destinations ensures that you won't miss out on the best waves. Malibu villas are a great place to begin your search.
Surfrider Beach, Malibu, California
Malibu, or the 'Bu as locals refer to it, first became nationally renowned during the 1950s because of the novel and motion picture, Gidget. The 'Bu is still the heart of California and one of the coast's greatest right point breaks. Even though it is always jam packed with surfers hoping to ride one of its perfect waves, it's a great day when you can ride the waves for a quarter mile. Staying in one of the Malibu villas will get you closer to all the action. You can visit Malibu at any given time of the year, but the best surf is during the summer months.
Hanalei Point, Hanalei Bay, Kauai
Hanalei Bay is one of the world's most picturesque surf destinations. You won't regret getting an oceanfront villa near this almost perfect semi-circular white beach located on the north shore of Kauai. Aside from tremendous surf, this beach that stretches for two miles is also bounded by mist covered cliffs and lush mountains with waterfalls. Solid winter waves pound into the bay, making huge smooth right-handers that are challenging even for the greatest surfers.
Banzai Pipeline, North Shore, Oahu
Ground zero surf action on the renowned Banzai Pipeline is perhaps the most famed swell worldwide. From October to March, when westerly waves are in term, this location pounds huge, hollow, almost perfect waves. Several inches below the Pipe's surface is a sharp volcanic reef. The surf here breaks in such a strong force that it could break your spine, so be very careful. If you're not an expert, it is best that you just sit and enjoy watching from the sand. The swells are quite near to shore so you won't be needing binoculars.
Supertubes, Jeffrey's Bay, South Africa
This spot is widely known as the best right-hand point break in the whole world. J-Bay, as it's fondly called, is truly worth the journey. The most famous section here is Supertubes. Also known as Supers, it's an exclusive area for expert surfers. Beginners and longboarders can find enjoyable surf at a site called Point. The waves here are smaller than other swells at Jeffrey's Bay.
