Where to Go in June: Summer Surf and Tropical Alternatives

June marks the start of the long-haul summer surf season for many European surfers. Indonesia, Fiji and French Polynesia are typically in prime condition, Hawaii’s south shore is active, and Portugal’s summer beaches suit learners.

Climate and conditions

Southern-hemisphere winter swells are typically consistent in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. Hawaii’s south shores are usually at their best in summer.

For European travellers

Early summer, before most school holidays, is often less crowded than July and August.
