Surfing the Galapagos Islands is something you will remember for the rest of your life and is the pinnacle of our surfing programme. You regularly surf with dolphins, sea lions, turtles and iguanas and it seems they love the surf in Galapagos as much as you will and you see them surfing along side of you in the line up.
Surfing Galapagos you must be prepared for quality surfing conditions that can be 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 water temperature although we would recommend a 3/2 full suit or spring from April through October when the water cools down.
The best season for Surfing Galapagos Islands is from December through May, since this is the time period that the Galapagos Islands receive both north and south swells at the same time and all the island has surf, however, you will find quality surf all year and the winds are also usually offshore 90% of the time.
Due to the nature of the surf and its breaks it is required that you take a surf charter daily to access the surf spots in order to really experience the best surfing on the islands. This is a dream surf zone but is only suited for those that are capable of catching green waves and would categorize themselves as intermediate or above surfers.
