Level of surfing skill required: Intermediate to expert
One-day up to Seven-day surfing adventure in Iceland, based in Reykjavík.
Do empty lineups, world-class waves and dramatic surroundings sound tempting? Discover why the surf media is calling Iceland the new Morocco (the place where everyone’s going because no one’s going there). And before you ask, no it’s not that cold! If you surf during the right season you’ll experience water temperatures similar to those in Ireland and Scotland.
The local surfers from Reykjavik (all 20 of them) have been exploring the surrounding coastline for the last 15 years. During that time they, along with the odd visiting pro surfer, have pioneered everything from black sand beach breaks, peeling pebble point breaks to heaving reef breaks. Most of the best surf spots are located within an hour’s drive from the capital of Iceland, meaning that you can escape to deserted beaches but still chill out in one of the most lively capitals in Europe for some after-surf fun. During the early autumn Iceland is bombarded with swells from every direction, providing for a very high surf reliability and good wind/swell combos. This means that on most days we can find good surf to challenge even the most experienced surfers. Whether you are looking for gentle rolling point breaks for cruising or some gnarly tubes in the head high+ range, chances are we can find it for you.
Reykjavik offers the adventurous surfer a chance to discover the un crowded waves around the Reykjanes peninsula, the city’s not so uncrowded nightlife, legendary music scene, amazing local food, along with some of Iceland’s must see sights.
From our base camp in Reykjavík we can arrange trips to the West fjords, Snæfellsjökul peninsula and national park, South coast and of course up north to our Board Riders Base Camp in Ólafsfjörður. All locations are romed for quality surf and amazing suraoundings.
