Maldives, a place to surf in the summer scoring the perfect waves at its best
The Maldives is much more than a paradise destination and definitely worth a visit at least once in your life. It is one of the best surf places on the planet. And if you are wondering where to surf in August, it is an ideal destination because the peak of the waves occurs in this month. Together with the months of June and July, August is part of the best period, the so-called “best season”, in which it is possible to encounter perfect conditions thanks to the storm surges coming from the southern hemisphere.
It is summer in the southern hemisphere when in Europe is winter and therefore temperatures in August are more pleasant than at other times of the year. Thus, the climate is ideal for relaxing or doing other activities when not surfing: for example snorkelling, diving or fishing.
The best area in the Maldives for surfing is located in the North Male atolls. There are iconic spots here such as Cokes, Sultans and Honkey’s among others. Who has never dreamed of surfing in these places?
South of Costa Rica, a good surfing destination in the summer
Southern Costa Rica is a good place to surf in August. It is a tropical country with an almost constant temperature throughout the year and the best waves in this area are between the months of May and November. So August is an ideal month for a surf trip around here.
In the South Pacific, in Pavones, at this time of year you can enjoy the mythical “endless wave”. But if you are looking for less crowded places, there are still some in this part of the world on beaches like Bejuco or Esterillos.
Furthermore, if you want to combine surfing with other activities, it is a perfect place to enter its biological reserves and discover its great wealth, unique in the world.
Where to surf in Bali in August
Another perfect destination for surfing in August and at the same time not suffocating in the heat is Bali. Although the temperature is warm all year round, August is in the central part of the dry season, so the atmosphere is less humid and stuffy than at other times. Also, it’s their winter and coincides with the best waves of the year in Bali. We are in the middle of the best time of the year, which normally starts in May/June and ends in October.
Of course, keep in mind that since it’s a traditional holiday season in Europe, the most iconic spots are usually quite crowded. Places like Ulluwatu, Padang Padang or Keramas get many visitors who join local surfers, making it difficult to catch the best waves. Of course, this scenario also makes for a boisterous off-beach atmosphere and fun abounds.
Mentawai Islands in Indonesia, an epic destination for surf trip in summer
Another mythical surfing destination is Mentawai. In these Indonesian islands, August corresponds to the dry season, like in Bali, and this means that although the temperatures are high, the thermal sensation is not as suffocating as during its summer. On top of that, you’ll avoid the rainy season!
Furthermore, we are talking about a very famous destination for its perfect waves and it is also the time of the best waves of the year thanks to the swells coming from the southern Indian Ocean, so it is an option to evaluate.
Surfing the Cape area of South Africa in August
