A mid winter surf trip is the best thing against the blues, too may gray days can give you! Sure, winter in Switzerland, or somewhere else, is beautiful. And a day up in the Alps in awesome! But sometimes we just feel like we need some sun, saltwater and a little winter surf trip…
Because of this, I always try to get away for a bit, whenever I spend that time of the year in Europe. And we don’t even have to fly far or spend a fortune to get a couple of waves and some beach days.
Here is a list of possible destinations for your winter surf trip. More to come…
And feel free to share your favorite place to escape winter?
Short haul winter surf trips
Fuerteventura, Canary Islands
Fuerteventura, with its North Shore. One of the Canary Islands, and known as Europe’s Hawaii

Morocco
Morocco, the perfect trip for all European surfer? Or maybe overrated and overcrowded?
Azores

Long haul winter surf trips
if you need it to be warm enough, to surf in your Bikini or boardshorts during your winter surf trip, you’ll have to fly a bit further. But if you’ve got 2-3 weeks time, it might be worth it?
Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka, everyone already went… Is there a good reason for it?
Lombok
