When surfers think of a holiday destination, few parts of the planet are quite as enticing as Australia. All over the world, everybody knows that there is hardly a better place to be than Down Under to catch the most amazing, glassy waves the oceans have to offer. Practically every section of Australia’s coast-excluding areas naturally protected by harbors, bays, etc.-has world-class surf conditions to boast of, making a trip to Australia an absolute must for all surfing fanatics.

One area that surfers generally avoid in Australia is the northern part of the continent, where a mix of natural conditions generally shoo people off: between the small stature of the waves and the fact that these tropical waters are rife with the world’s most dangerous jellyfish, it’s best to go catch a wave elsewhere!

Thankfully, in Australia “elsewhere” means thousands and thousands of miles of gorgeous beach and reef surf breaks! From the warm waters off the western coast to the frigid waters off the southern coast and the major tourist destinations on the eastern coast, all of these areas provide surfers with dreams come true.

Western Australia has undoubtedly got many of the best surf spots in the country as well as the world, with the exceptionally toasty waters and the gorgeous weather making it an even more attractive destination for surfers and all tourists. This is the Indian Ocean at its best, and it is perfectly common to get unending, perfect 6 foot tubes crashing all day long practically. Among the numerous destinations of Western Australia’s coastline, surfers are strongly recommended to visit places like Margaret River, Albany, and Esperance, each of which has built up quite the reputation among boarders.

South Australia offers surfers chillier waters, but hardly any other sacrifice! The surf conditions here are ideal despite the frigidness of the ocean, and the cold currents flowing northwards from Antarctica provide truly spectacular swells that are the stuff of surfing legends. The terrain is pretty rugged which makes accessing many beaches a bit of a challenge, but if you happen to be lucky enough to have a local guide and/or a 4WD vehicle you can surmount any obstacle just about. In this part of the country, surfers should definitely get to know spots like Yorke Peninsula and Eyre Peninsula, designated by local surfers and those that flock from the capital of Adelaide as being nothing short of the best.

A little farther to the east, the beaches of Victoria share many attributes with those of South Australia, with wet suits being generally necessary in both instances given the cold water coming up from the south. In spite of the frigid waters, the surfing conditions are nothing short of optimal, and once again being able to take advantage of the knowledge of a local is of huge help. Try to get to places such as Phillip Island, Torquay or Bells Beach, which visitors and locals have all agreed present some of the best surf breaks. A good way to get to know this stretch of Australian coast is simply to get on the Great Ocean Road, running for well over 100 miles.

Moving back towards warmer waters, New South Wales has seemingly unending expanses of surfable spots-from the crowded beaches around Sydney to the more remote locations farther north or south, such as Byron Bay, Angourie, and Lennox.

To the north of New South Wales, the state of Queensland boasts such world-renowned surf destinations as those to be had in the Gold Coast areasuch names as “Surfers Paradise” really just speak for themselves. In the northern expanses of Queensland surfers can get acquainted with the natural wonders of the Great Barrier Reef, which at certain specific points and at the right moments may award surfers with a rare and beautiful jewel.

To finish, surfers with truly brave hearts and iron wills can go down to Tasmania for some rugged surfing destinations. Once again, the water is nice and cold, and surfers are better off searching for beaches along the eastern portion of the island where accesses are easier to be found.
