Surfing in Toronto is alive and well in Toronto and I'm not just talking about stand-up paddling.  No matter what board you have to ride, there's fun to be had on the water with a surf board in stride.

Wondering where to surf? Here are some popular locations.

Woodbine Beach

At Woodbine Beach you'll see someone in a wetsuit pretty much any season. While dedicated Great Lakes surfers are more likely to find more good-wave days in fall and winter, spring and summer weather can produce some gnarly ones as well. 

Bluffers Park 

The Scarborough Bluffs aren't just for those hunting for the perfect 'gram. You'll also find all-season surfers hunting for the perfect wave. Check out the Surfline report for Bluffers Park before you go to make sure the conditions are in your favour. 

Of course, it's a good idea to have the proper equipment and know what you're doing before you hit the waves. Here's where you can stock up on gear and upgrade your surfing skills.
