We hear that surfing's possible all ten year round, but the best time to paddle past the whitewater is between June and September. Having an existing relationship with the ocean certainly helps - many riding the swells are fishermen working within the area. Note that Indian beaches don't have uniform lifeguard programme to keep an eye on novice surfers, so we'd advice you to either go through a sur...
