Ecuador is world’s best-kept surfing secrets. While at Ecuador, enroute to the Galápagos Islands and the Pacific coast, the country offers at least 50 surf spots where the waves consistently break overhead. The coastal water is warm, especially from December to June, but the Galápagos are wet-suit territory pretty much year-round. The best surfing months are December to June, when the ocean is often glassy in the morning, and the sky is usually clear. From June to November, the water gets choppier and cold, especially in the Galápagos, and onshore winds can further complicate conditions, though the mainland experiences days with good conditions year-round.
Galápagos surfing is considerably more appealing and expensive, due to logistics and lodging costs, but the islands have few surfers and the waves are consistently overhead and uncrowned. Mainly, San Cristóbal island has five breaks, most of which are over volcanic-rock platforms; though pleasant from January through May, the water gets cold here during the June-to-December rainy season.
