Surfing in Galapagos!
 

Being an amateur surfer (just learned two months ago and can bearly stand), I am wondering how the surfing experience can be in Galapagos.

Hi Reda,

The Galapagos Islands have waves year round. The hot season from Dec-May sees the diminishing influence of this current, with hotter, sunnier offshore conditions ideal for surfing. The North swells occur most commonly from December until March. The south swell, despite pulses from December until February, is strongest during March, April and May. These months are particularly good for SouthWest swells which the island tracks far better than the more southerly swells which tend to be more dominant from June until November.

Thank you so much for your detailed answer, I am planning to go around September and that seems like a good time.

Have been there yet but talked to surfers who did. Definetly a place to check out the waves equal if you shortboard or longboard.
