2-3 Weeks in November-where in the world to go?

[loco4olas]

Looking for some input.

Have 2-3 weeks in early November and can pretty much go anywhere in the world for a trip.

Any suggestions?

If your in europe, check out Prague for a few days. I got home from 6 weeks in euro last week and must say prague was one of the favs. Pints of beer= bout 80cents, good heavy stodgy food, and stunners all over the shop. The tongue is still sore from tripping over it many many times!!

Hmm-more interested in surf than beer and my wife may object to me chasing girls........

Hear Prague is a great city however.

Maybe France. It's starting to get really cold but you would definately get swell. And if your in Hossegor its only a days drive to get down to Mundaka which is also coming into season.

Or Mexico. Puerto Escondido would probs have good waves around this time.

I am going to Meimbula at the start of Novemember. so dont go there as there is never any swell when I am there....

Go to hell Matt youse bastard 2-3 weeks? Who gets to 2-3 weeks, stuff this workin’ for yourself capper

Howzabout you get a mercator’s projection and some darts... they’ll hit somewhere interesting eventually

OK. How's about Rapa Nui? Maybe a bit late in the season but should still get plenty of size.

Or Madeira. Better check if Jardim do Mar is still surfable. A breakwall was proposed.

What about the Kamchatka? Bet no-one from your local has been there.

The Tuamoto's? Morocco. The Andaman's. Bloody hell! It's a long list....

Go the Caroline Islands/micronesia. Im off to PNG in Nov.

If you are going with your chick hit the maldives, great waves but a little romance as well.
Costa Rica would be my choice though.

i would be very interested to hear how you go in kamchatka if you end up there. i've wondered about that peninsula for years and years.

When I was living in San Francisco-I went with my wife on a trip she was working to Beijing and we flew the N route-up along the coast of Canada towards the poles and then down over Kamchatka during the morning-it looked like an amazing palce from 36,000 feet. As an aside, on teh way back we flew over Japan on a clear night-amazing views of the lights of Japan's major cities.

We are somewhat limited to only going where United airlines flies (wife's employer)-so Europe, America's (North and South) are in-but not the more obscure spots like Andamans (my dad's been there-and an ex of the wife), Azores, Madera etc. Just too expensive with 3 kids in tow (an no-they arenot bringing their boards).

Leaning towards:

Brazil-friends there and good weather/culture.
Argentina/Uruguay (but not great waves-more culture).
Portugal (but cool at that time of the year).
Hawaii maybe, but concerned about frothing early season locals (anyone who has been there early season will know what I mean) and been there heaps.

Any other suggestions? It should make for some interesting realsurf surf reports-getting a little jaded reporting the same crap........
