North Spanish living in Australia since 2016. I can agree with Portuguese and Canary Island shit vibe but I cannot believe that someone from Vic threaten a surfer to not post a photo on Instagram. There are no secret spots here, unless he went to the most remote waves in the south west coast, but even though no one would say anything like that.

Please start crowding other spots as west sumbawa, krui, west java, sumba, red island...bukit is already too crowded...let's spread a little...and don't come with the bullshit talk about keeping spots secret...in 2024 this is absolute lame talk. Surfing is what it is now: a sport of kooks... want to surf uncrowded waves? Get yourself in a 4/3 suit and stop pissing others in YT comments section.

Brazil has loads of options like that! Actually growing up in Brazil made me so lazy to drive to surf.... I usually give up surfing if I need to get onto a motor vehicle to get to the beach 😂😂

Hi, where did you stay in Nicaragua?

I've travelled all over the world but I think this is one of the most beautiful places I've seen

Nobody likes to see Dan Harmon posting his home surf all over the internet. So people are mostly unfriendly to you !

Surfing has become so popular its a victim of its own success and now the agro is doubled. Surf culture is just infested with total arseholes basically.

Mauritius should be number 1 on the list please google it. (Tamarin)

I am from Nicaragua, (MORA) I am very please to see you enjoy and have fun here, Thank you for visiting However I ask all tourist to stop using our best surf spots and our country as way to inform and expose our natural wounder. We try hard to keep this a secret. Look what happened to Hawaii, Australia, Skeleton Bay, Lunada Bay in CA, Malibu in CA. Over Populate. Stop using us as a way to get SUSCRIBIRSE Or LIKES in any Platform. MUCH LOVE AND SURF UP CABRONES..

Lombok, Indonesia is paradise.

wow seems like latin people (spanish, portugeuse, french, chilean, etc) are pretty aggro? At least they handle their problems in the water and don't go for lawsuits or windshield waxing or tire stabbing. CA locals are pussies who do shady stuff like that. I'm hoping Chile was first on your list because its the least of the problems, and the only place on your list I actually want to visit to surf.

Palos verdes

People overestimate how much it is to stay at Colorado's by a long shot , why stay at a shit wave and have to walk in ? Whats your time worth to you I guess is what it boils down to .. ripping that wave btw man , good video

In Austrailia the locals are Sharks 😂 so yeah best to not disrespect...

The smaller the board, the bigger the ego? I dont mind a bigger board and getting smaller Waves as a true Weekend Warrior. Not sure where to go anymore after seeing this vid ;).

Great video! Living in Lisbon, I have to say that it is indeed a great place to be as a surfer, although the cost of living is not as low as it was in the past and housing prices are now ridiculously high for the Portuguese standards

Great vid thanks Dan

I agree with your opinion 💪🏻 good to see you there

I recently (2021) lost a good mate to a white bite while we were surfing, it was not murky, it was shallow water (no coming from underneath). Not surfing alone. No attacks had ever been reported at that beach before. It was purely "wrong place - wrong time" There's not a lot of data on attacks during these assumed water conditions to avoid. So while it seems logical to avoid these conditions I don't think it really makes any difference. From many of the most recent white attacks on the AUS NSW coast none of these conditions were present. For my mate, It was an unfortunate investigative bite that took his femoral artery. Simply bad luck of the worst kind! I was lucky enough to be surfing a different beach that day so I'm glad I didn't see it or I might not still be surfing.

Good Summary and pretty accurate too, I've lived and surfed a few of these places and currently live in a place where 20 years is still not long enough to be considered a local. But I don't care, I never really have any issues with anyone. I liken surf-lore to the wild west. People can and do get away with all sorts of stupid shit, and it really brings out the worst in some people. Just like the wild west, you need to avoid some people, let them have their waves and don't get upset about it. It's not a democracy. they will keep doing it regardless of what you do or say. Just like the wild west, unless you're willing to fight them, just let them be, it's not worth it. The best way to get back at them is to surf better than them, So get better at surfing (elsewhere if you need to) and let your surfing do the talking. Continue to be courteous and respect other surfers, this WILL be noticed and returned. The wild west is still a great place where everyone CAN get along and build unforgettable memories!

You should make more videos to encourage people NOT TO COME to Bali

Yep. Sucks getting scraps

Everything in the reports is "IMPORTANT" - got it. But now what??

So good video information surf 🏄 😊

I wouldn’t recommend LA so much as I would a few hours south. California is giant, like huge, and people often forget that you can’t just hop from Malibu to San Diego. I’d recommend Orange County or San Diego. I was born and raised in this area and it has to be the most consistent place on the planet for surf

so everywhere

Good

Lima is amazing

Durban, South Africa. If you can earn foreign currency you’ll live very comfortably. Great waves in town, as well as on both north and south coasts of the city.

A nearby wave where I was living in Japan had a sign spray painted "Rocals Only". I always got a kick out of that. But I did have a ridiculous run-in with "rocals" at a different secret spot.

Great of you to out all of these surf spots for you own PERSONAL PROFIT. While the rest of us fight tooth and nail to protect our precious planet you encourage and participate in destroying it with your air travel addiction. STOP GLOBAL WARMING SURF LOCAL. Or JUST HOP ON A CHEAP FLIGHT????

Oahu south shore summer seasons are usually very underwhelming, we are lucky to get waves over 3 to 4 feet one time each month in the summer (unless you go to bowls where the swell is magnified and usually a foot or two bigger than any other spot on a given day). This month in particular has been non stop pretty solid swell but it is looking like after this swell hitting now it is going to go dead for the foreseeable future up to about three weeks. Really good for longboarders but if you are a shortboarder I wouldn’t even bother coming to Oahu during summer. Btw you should turn on the bowls cam some time in these next few days on the higher tide of the day and see how good that wave is!!

San Diego should definitely be on the list as it destroys LA in all catagories pretty much, and certainly in the surf category

World keeps adding more people, and surfing keeps getting more popular. Nobody goes bowling or plays racquetball anymore. Crowds are the downside to surfing and it never will get better unless there is a big nuclear war or something like that.

Gold coast, Sydney, really, you must be kidding

Even tho San Jose Costa Rica is not by the beach I am considering moving there because of how relatively close it is to so many good spots. An hour drive to Playa Hermosa sounds good to me. What do you think?

Dan when you come to CTN I will show you around the joint.

Cape town has more murders than any city in the world, it sucks dont go there

Glad you didn't include Santa Cruz, California on that list. It means you are not aware of the waves north and south of there nor some of the spots in the city that are rarely mentioned in print or seen on video.

Lima was a great place to live.

Dan, Mate, you unfortunately forgot MARGATE in KENT…. How dare. You?

👍😎

San Diego, Bilbao, San Francisco should all be on the list. Nyc could deserve a shout

Ala Moana Bowls HI very territorial when the waves are producing.

On another issue, just saw Nathan Florence’s latest video, and he scored Lances right with about 4 guys out,got more crowded later but definitely not 50.Same with Koa Rothman, 4 guys out at first then crowded, so not everywhere has 50 guys out all the time

The Gold Coast starts at the NSW border,so Coolangatta is part of the Gold Coast, .I think you are calling Surfers Paradise the Gold Coast,but it is just part of it

Thanks Dan!

Hawaii and SoCal and Mexico…be kool and go with flow 🎉 now Morocco is just another type of freaking crazies 😮

Love your stuff 10X. But I’m going to troll you for lumping LA, San Diego, OC, and the north swell spots in Santa Barbara into one surf city. Come on bro!! Give California two designations on this list 😊 (And keep up the great content)

good stuff mate! I would like to add Porto, Portugal and Florianopolis, Brazil to that list. Those are great cities to live as surfer too.
