How to Plan a Surf Trip (Without Spending Hours on Google)

Planning a surf trip is exciting… until it gets complicated. You’re trying to figure out:

• Where will have good waves when you’re off work
• Which spots are beginner-friendly vs. more advanced
• What destinations are affordable
• How to book everything without opening 27 tabs

That’s where SurfTrips.ai comes in.

If you’re not sure where to go, just head to the homepage and enter two things:

1. Your main airport
2. Your travel dates (rough is fine)

From there, we do the heavy lifting for you.

We Show You Surf Spots That Should Be Working

Using our own curated database, we’ll show you surf spots that are likely to have good conditions during your chosen timeframe.

Not just a random list either — you’ll get them ranked by flight time from your home airport. So you can decide whether you want a weekend strike mission or a longer international surf adventure.

Filter Based on What Matters to You

Once you’ve got your shortlist, you can filter down by:

• Skill level (beginner, intermediate, advanced)
• Water temperature (wetsuit or boardshorts?)
• Budget (we estimate cost of living at each destination)
• Wave type (beach break, point, reef)

This way, you’re not just picking somewhere that has waves — you’re choosing a place that matches your surf style and your vibe.

Each Spot Comes with All the Details You Need

Click into any destination, and you’ll find:

• An overview of the spot
• Average crowd level, water temps, safety score, location cost
• Local tips and surf culture insights
• Link to surfline forecast

We’ve surfed many of these places ourselves — and we’re constantly adding more real-world feedback from the community.

See Flights and Airbnb Listings in Real Time

This is where it gets really cool.

For each destination, you’ll see:

✈️ Live flight pricing from your selected airport with booking links
🏠 Airbnb listings near the break, with price and booking links

No need to bounce between flight search engines, Airbnb, and Surfline. We’ve stitched it all together for you in one place — so you can go from “surf trip idea” to booked in minutes.

TL;DR: Stop Guessing. Start Surfing.

If you’re trying to figure out where to go for your next surf trip, we’ve made it stupid simple.

Just enter your airport + dates → get personalized recommendations → filter by what matters → see flights + stays → book.

Whether you’re planning ahead or chasing a last-minute swell, SurfTrips.ai makes it easier to get in the water with less stress and more stoke.
