Find the best flights to world-class surf spots: cheap, in-season, and ready to shred.
🌎 Japan (New!)
✈️ From: JFK → HND — $801 RT American
📅 Dates: Sep 7–23
🌊 Why Book? September is peak surf season in Japan, when offshore typhoons send long-period swell to the Pacific coast. From Tokyo, you can reach breaks in under two hours. Mellow sandbars at Onjuku and Kujukuri Beach for beginners, or punchier reefs like Hebara for more advanced surfers. The water’s warm (around 77–80 °F), the scenery is beautiful, and you’ll be surfing waves most visitors don’t even know exist.
🌎 Costa Rica (Still Active)
✈️ From: JFK → LIR — $267 RT JetBlue
📅 Dates: Nov 13–27
🌊 Why Book? Late November is a 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.
🌎 Dominican Republic (Still Active)
✈️ From: JFK → POP — $320 RT JetBlue
📅 Dates: Sept 26 – Oct 5 (Friday to Sunday)
🌊 Why Book? Puerto Plata airport puts you right near Cabarete, the surf capital of the Dominican Republic. September brings warm water and reliable, beginner-friendly waves powered by the Caribbean trade winds, from melllow rollers in Cabarete Bay to punchier reef breaks at Encuentro. And when the sun sets, Cabarete is just as lively on land, with beach bars and nightlife right on the sand.
