do you think it's just okay to surf in the evening or as long as it's not totally dark yet? i haven't tried that yet. or is it at least safe enough? and why are the surf heights rising during sunset? and the tide becomes higher too. i just wanna know why

surf for as long as you feel safe! you can't be out there & be scared, right? because you can't hav alot of fun if something freaks u out!
but morning is always better for me.. because the wind is more often offshore..

they've warned me far too many times that shark activity is higher at sunrise & sunse.. but HEY! after looooong years in the water, i still havent seen a shark that can really hurt a person!
i've also surfed under the full moon before.. and it's a good practice to take a buddy w/ u!
surf to ur skill & comfort!!

Dawn & evening surfing is always fun.. well, the beach tend to be a lot less crowded & the winds often drop or go offshore due to the temperature differences between the land & the water. but the wave heights are still completely dependent on the wind, swell, break, & tide... and not on the time of the day..

Haven't tried this but I really think that it is really fun than doing it in a day time. For me, it's more challenging to surf when it's dark and only the moon and its reflection on the sea give light.
Aaww..how exciting!!

Night surfing can be dangerous but it is also very rewarding & really awesome!! But be sure that when you go out to do it, you'd do it under a full moon. It's safe surfing to do it that way, under the proper condition, when the moon is really bright. And do it with your group as much as possible. Don't go out alone.

I agree with you dropped_in, it's quite dangerous when you surf at night but its is really fulfilling when you've done it.
good thing when the moon will be there as your light.

The key is simply to pick the correct surfing spot if you really want to go. It is always best for u to go somewhere where there's a relatively predictable wave & with enough light. Because if you do found such spot, then you wont need a moonlight anymore...

surfing at night is alot of fun.. if you're going to do that you should bring a buddy along or you should surf with a group.. also, you could try wearing bright colored clothing so that people can easily spot you..

41 years of surfing and I saw my first predator shark about a month ago. Was 4'-5' long, dark, dark grey. Definitely was not a Leopard Shark as I've seen plenty of them. Was hanging out inside the reef at San Elijo. Funny thing, I didn't freak at all. Turns out the shark is kind of a local, hangs out there because the fishing is good. I think he's probably to small to think about attacking a human unless feeling threatened.

And according to what i've read, they say that sharks are actually very gentle creatures. They're not the killing machines as what most human beings thought of them.. Because in the first place, human beings are not their prey. So as much as possible, they will only try to avoid us in the water, just like how we do in avoiding them.. So better not be scared.. But be careful still!

Sharks are sharks. Just don't get wounded and bleed. Otherwise you will not be spared with their sharp teeth.
