Where to Surf in February?
February is traditionally a less busy month for vacations, so it’s very likely that you can enjoy uncrowded surfing destinations as well, including places with the best waves during this part of winter.
1 – Fuerteventura, Spain, a Surf Destination in February
Fuerteventura is one of the best places to surf in February. During this time, there are good swells that activate all the island’s most famous surf spots, so if you’re an experienced surfer, you’ll definitely have a lot of fun.
It’s also an ideal time of year to start surfing from scratch given the variety of waves and surf spots offered by the island. You can book your course at our surf school in Fuerteventura, surfintrip.com, and enjoy a dreamy location while learning and having fun.
Additionally, the climate is very pleasant at this time of year in Fuerteventura, with an average water temperature between 18 and 19 degrees Celsius. The great atmosphere among surfers in the area is another plus point, and the opportunities to combine relaxation with other active leisure activities are plentiful.
2 – Surfing in the Pacific on the Beaches of Costa Rica
Another great place to surf in February is the Tamarindo area in Costa Rica. There are beautiful beaches along the Pacific Ocean coast where you can ride the waves during this winter season. It’s an area with excellent spots, some at the mouths of rivers. But one of the best for its waves and lack of crowds (especially on weekdays) is Playa Grande, about a quarter of an hour’s drive from Tamarindo. Playa Grande is perfect for intermediates, advanced, and expert surfers.
And if you’re an expert surfer looking for fun challenges, your ideal spot is at Playa Langosta. Its waves are short and fast, and you can ride both right and left waves, ensuring plenty of fun. However, always be cautious of rocks and corals, and when the southwest wind is favorable, it’s ideal for surfing slightly longer waves.
3 – Raglan, Surfing in New Zealand in February
In the heart of European winter and in the midst of Southern Hemisphere summer, Raglan is an ideal area to enjoy the good weather and waves in New Zealand. It’s one of the best places to surf in the land of the long white cloud. In the area, there are beaches like Wainui Beach, Whale Bay, and Manu Bay, with very diverse waves.
So, if you want variety or if you’re planning a surf trip with a partner or friends with different levels, it’s a good option to find fun for everyone: tubes, long waves, fast waves, beach break, reef break…
4 – Morocco in February
We’ve mentioned it in various posts, and we confirm it here as well. Morocco, specifically Taghazout, is a good destination. February is a central month of its surfing season for experienced surfers, as the waves are more powerful compared to previous months and with the advantage of very pleasant weather. In any case, thanks to its variety of waves, there are very fun spots for all levels.
There are mythical places like Anchor Point or Boilers suitable for more advanced surfers. Then we have Banana Beach, which is an ideal beach for beginners as long as there are no big waves. In fact, under the right conditions, a long right appears accessible at the rocky point and suitable for intermediate and advanced levels.
Another perfect place to start or improve your level is Devil’s Rock, a very beautiful beach mainly of sands and offers peaks with both right and left waves.
5 – Surfing in Barbados: Riding the Waves in the Caribbean
Barbados in February is a good place to surf on its north and west coasts, where the waves are stronger and more fun during this time of year. The trade winds are great allies before the unpredictable and dangerous hurricane season.
Surfing in a place like Soup Bowls, to the east, or Sandy Lane Bay, to the west, is fantastic for experienced surfers. Also, Maycocks Bay, to the north. If you prefer calmer waves, Freights Bay can be a good option. It’s a protected wave located to the south and is very long and ideal for longboarders and intermediate surfers. Surfers Point is a perfect beach for beginners and is located to the south.
