Great surfing opportunities exist on every continent around the world and there are literally tens of thousands of wave breaks for every level of experience. There are surfing spots with gentle breaks for the novice riders and infamous waves that even the world-class wave riders consider to be, as dangerous as typhoid. Of all the surfing locations on earth, here are the good, the bad and the ugly.
Queensland’s gold coast is known as the surfers paradise and its 40 miles of white sand beach offers both the novice and experienced wave riders an endless amount of breaks. The surf here is consistent with good, easy, breaks 
nearly daily. In times of cyclones and strong east winds the swells can grow to some awesome point breaks.
The north shore of Hawaii is well-known for its large surf and the pipeline may be considered one of the perfect waves on earth. Sunset beach and Waimea bay produce some of the most awesome swells know and in the winter months it can become downright dangerous. Waves can go from two feet to twenty-five in the course of a day and at Waimea they can crank up to fifty feet.
The Cortes Banks is a huge reef that lies 115 miles due west from San Diego, California and at times of light winds, low tides and big swells out of the northwest can produce some of the biggest surf on the planet. The kamikaze surfers are pulled into the waves with jetskis and in 2001 and 2008, Mike Parsons won the swell/XXL big wave awards riding waves of 66 and 70 feet respectively
