Surfing in the Galapagos Islands

Surfing the Galapagos Islands is something you will remember for the rest of your life. You regularly surf with dolphins, sea lions, turtles and iguanas and it seems they love the surf in Galapagos as much as we do because you see them surfing along side of you all the time. If you want to surf in the Galapagos be prepared because it gets big and gnarly but the surfing conditions are epic with strong offshore winds and swells that come out of deep water and wrap into beautiful bays. It is truly and amazing experience to surf in the Galapagos Islands the water is clear, blue and is perfect temperature, around 75 degrees.

The best season for Surfing the Galapagos Islands is from December through May, since this is the time period that the Galapagos Islands receives both north and south swells. However, there is good surf all year and the winds are also usually offshore. The reason the surf is better on norths is mainly because this means there are twice as many surfing spots that you can surf if you can catch the swell on both directions.  It should also be noted that some of the best surfing spots only break on norths. If you would like additional information about the surf spots in the Galapagos.
