Why Surf in Goa
Goa offers an ideal setting for anyone eager to learn to surf. Its uncrowded waves are beginner-friendly almost every day of the season, and its warm water and beautiful beaches make it the perfect place for that first surf experience. The surf here is best in the morning when the wind is calm, which usually produces glassy conditions. However, the surf in Goa is not just a beginners paradise. With 99 miles of coastline the region is dotted with beach breaks and possibly some hidden points just waiting to be surfed.
