The World’s Best Onshore Waves
Six spots for people who won’t wake up before six.
Surfing orthodoxy, and the very building blocks of meteorology, says onshore wind bad, offshore wind good.
And yet we’ve discovered that when it comes to the “onshy”, while all waves are equal, some waves are more equal than others.
To be clear, we aren’t talking about this new-fangled “air wind”, nor those one-percent waves where only the best pros can ride ‘em.
This list is more an overdue compilation of those breaks that still shine when the wind sets against them. Ones that you or I or Ben Gravy could ride.
Now presenting the six best onshore waves in the world, in some particular order (we won’t say which).
