Hey,
I live in Sydney and I'll have 6 weeks to travel from mid feb to end march. Looking for a cheap, easy option for a surf trip which I can combine with some work on my laptop in the evenings. I call myself an intermediate surfer, doing a few turns and cutbacks, normally ride a 6'0 really fat and wide (20 1/2, 2 5/8) fish board, haven't really progressed on to a proper shortboard. Goofy so prefer lefts.
Was first thinking about Canggu, Bali because of the low season but I've read that the waves aren't really working. East coast would probably work, but not a big fan of the vibe there, so snoozy.
Any tips for a good surf destination for feb-march which is fairly close to Sydney?
Maybe Sri Lanka, Philippines, Thailand, other island in Indo?
