Surfing
The sport of surfing is markedly on the rise in Trinidad and Tobago and it's easy to understand why. Hurricane swells in early fall kick off the surfing season, which runs from September through March and brings warm ocean energy through the region. Easterly swells make the northeast coast the epicentre of surfing on Trinidad. Spots like Salibya and Sans Souci (home of a Caribbean Surf Network's annual event) present world-class waves. Although both these spots attract crowds, the limited population at this end of the island lends itself to exploration. Plenty of unclaimed beaches and breaks remain unsurfed. Tobago's craggy coastline also makes for a variety of waves, mostly on the western tip of the island. Year-round surfing is not a reality in Trinidad and Tobago, and storms occasionally disrupt the most promising swells during peak season. But with a little patience and effort, a memorable surfing experience lays in wait for those adventurous enough to find it.
