Australia is home to some of the best waves in the world also the surfers. You have three places to choose from to surf in Australia the east, south or west coast no surfing takes place in the North mainly because of the stingers and salt water crocodiles. The East Coast can get extremely busy everyone here surfs and is good beginners may have problems finding a quite spot here.

If you want to avoid the crowds then keep clear of the gold coast and Sydney. The weather here is great and the sea is warm consistent swells come in winter (May-Aug) however the summer months are just as good. The main surfing along the south coast is the great ocean road. Bells beach is probably the most popular spot however there are plenty of others to choose from. This coastline gets plenty of swell and again is best in the winter months. However the sea temperature on the south coast is cold all year round so remember the wet suit.

The west coast again has the best waves during the winter months but does not attract the same crowds as the east coast. The further north you travel you start to leave the crowds behind and find some classic empty waves. A trip to rottenest island of the west coast is well worth it if you are looking for some decent surf. Australia is a great country to surf just beware of the crowds however if you are willing to look you will find empty waves.
