Live Surf Cams

Surfline Live is a 24/7 glimpse into the world’s surf.

This stream moves through Surfline’s global camera network, showing spots where it’s daylight and rated Fair or better.

What’s The Deal With…?

Surf News & Updates

It’s all about respect, brah. Don’t just paddle out and drop in. Sit wide, observe the lineup, and see who’s getting the set waves. Give respect to the locals—a simple nod goes a long way. Don’t snake, don’t ditch your board, and always apologize if you mess up. Every spot has its own vibe, so just be cool, wait your turn, and don’t be a wave hog. Earning your waves is way more rewarding than burning everyone.

The legend starts in the 60s. While the GQ crew were doing the Endless Summer thing, they missed it! It was actually a few pioneering South African surfers, like John Whitmore and Gary Koopman, who first paddled out and discovered the perfection in the late 60s. Word spread like wildfire after a surf movie featured it. By the 70s, it was on the global map. The first contest was in 1977, cementing its status. It grew from a remote secret to a must-surf destination that defines high-performance pointbreak surfing.

Commit to the journey, brah. It’s all about water time. Start by mastering pop-ups and trimming on whitewater, then graduate to unbroken green waves. Don’t be afraid to eat it—wipeouts are your best teacher. Watch the lineup, learn to read waves, and maybe get a few tips from a more experienced friend. Focus on one skill at a time, whether it’s bottom turns or generating speed. Remember, every legend was once a beginner dripping on the beach. Patience and persistence are key.

Surf Culture & Community

Absolutely, they’re a trusted filter. Instead of wading through endless online ads, mags provide honest, in-depth reviews of the latest boards, wetsuits, fins, and tech from people who actually surf. They test gear in real waves and break down what works and for whom. You get comparisons, tech insights from shapers, and a clear idea of what that new rocket sled might actually feel like under your feet. It’s the best way to shop for your next quiver addition without the marketing hype.

Big time, man. Rising sea levels can drown reefs and alter sandbars forever. Warmer water can mess with swell patterns and even bring new, gnarly jellyfish. More intense storms can destroy classic point breaks with severe erosion. Ocean acidification from absorbed CO2 kills coral reefs, which create some of the world’s best waves. Protecting our coastlines and pushing for clean energy is basically protecting our future playgrounds. It’s a total game-changer for surf spots worldwide.

Onshore wind blows from the ocean onto the land, and it’s often a wave killer. It chops up the face, makes things messy and bumpy, and can turn clean lines into a mushy, crumbly mess. It’s harder to paddle out through, and the waves lack power and shape. While it’s not always terrible for beginners on soft-tops, most surfers groan when the wind switches onshore.
