Go Off-Peak
Go Off-Peak
If you can, surf in the off hours.
Go in the middle of a workday. When everyone else is headed to the pub to watch a big game, point your car toward the coast.
Be late to family gatherings over the holidays, and surf while others sleep off their New Year’s Eve hangovers.
Hit the waves at the tail end of a good swell, when many other surfers have had their fill or need to attend to neglected responsibilities.
If everybody else is somewhere else, you have the chance to score empty surf.
