🌎 Costa Rica (New!)
✈️ From: JFK → LIR — $304 RT JetBlue
📅 Dates: Several dates in late November to early December:
Nov 13–20
Nov 13–27
Nov 20–Dec 5
🌊 Why Book? Mid-November to early December is the sweet spot in Northern Costa Rica. The rainy season is wrapping up, with sunny skies, green landscapes, and consistent Pacific swell. Breaks like Tamarindo, Playa Grande, and Avellanas cater to all levels, from mellow longboard waves to faster beach and reef breaks. The water is bath-warm, no wetsuit needed, and it’s just before peak holiday crowds and prices arrive.
🌎 Ireland (Still Active)
✈️ From: JFK → DUB — $319 RT Delta
📅 Dates: Nov 9–18
🌊 Why Book? November marks the start of Ireland’s prime surf season, when powerful Atlantic swells hit the west coast. While the water is cold (around 46–54 °F), a solid 5/4 mm wetsuit with boots, gloves, and a hood keeps it comfortable. Spots like Bundoran deliver epic reef rides, while beginner-friendly beaches like Lahinch, Strandhill, and Rossnowlagh offer softer sand breaks. Fewer crowds, dramatic landscapes, and cozy coastal pubs make it a surf trip you’ll never forget.
🌎 Bali (Still Active)
✈️ From: JFK → DPS — $856 RT Cathay Pacific
📅 Dates: Nov 3–16
🌊 Why Book? November is shoulder season in Bali: a sweet spot with lingering dry-season swells and shifting winds that start to favor the east coast. Breaks like Keramas and Nusa Dua offer clean, punchy waves, while sheltered spots like Sanur and Serangan are ideal for beginners. Meanwhile, New York is notoriously flat this time of year, making it the perfect window to chase warm, consistent surf on the other side of the world.
🌎 El Salvador (Still Active)
✈️ From: JFK → SAL — $179 RT Avianca
📅 Dates: Sept 15–29 (Only 3 am departure left)
🌊 Why Book? September brings consistent south swells to El Salvador’s Pacific coast—perfect for long, right-hand points like El Zonte and El Sunzal. It’s still the rainy season, but that means lush scenery, smaller crowds, and better prices. Most mornings are clean and glassy, and you can surf warm water all day without a wetsuit.
