Is it possible to go surfing all year round?

Yes, it is possible to surf all year round for independent and experienced surfers. For beginners, the best time is between spring and autumn, as the waves are better suited to learning or improving your skills, and the weather is milder! If in doubt, get in touch with a surf school.

Can I surf wherever I like on the beaches?

No. You must surf outside the supervised areas. Surfing is prohibited in supervised bathing areas, which are reserved for swimmers. Please feel free to ask the lifeguards for advice tailored to the conditions.
