Never thought of Iceland as a surf spot? Well, think again because these might literally be the coolest waves to surf!
All surfers know that cathing a good wave isn't just about the swell, you also have to be in the right spot so one of the other 50 surfers around doesn't go for it too and drop in on you. Well, imagine a beach with amazing waves and every single one is yours!
These waves being in Iceland of all countries makes a lot of people worry about the cold, but we can tell you from first hand experience that a really thick hooded wetsuit makes this a very pleasant experience like any other surf in warmer waters!
Every surfer's dream: world class waves and no crowds!
Most of the surf spots are located within an hour from the capital city so as soon as the swell looks good it's easy to jump in the car and catch it. It also means that you're close to all the after surf fun in Reykjavík!
The best waves are usually in late summer/early autumn when Iceland is bombarded with swells from every direction.
Can't decide between the sea or the snow?
Easy, get the best of both worlds! Up North in Iceland you can be the first to discover new slopes and beaches, there is endless unused terrain for surfing and snow sports. Launch down an unnamed mountain and catch some serious waves on an unexplored beach!
