SA Surf
My name is Matt Fox, Im 21 and living in Buenos Aires until July. Im from East Coast US and have come to BA to study abroad but hope to fit in a little surfing. I know surfing in Argentina isnt the best, thats why Ive been looking into Uruguay. I hear theres a cheap ferry that goes up to Montevideo.
My Spanish isnt great, but I can get by. I was hoping anyone would have some advice on places to travel, stay, surf, people to know...
I cant stay for long periods of time because Im taking classes here in BA, but Im able to get away Thursday-Sunday every weekend.
I appreciate any advice or travel tips anyone can offer. My e-mail is foxmc@jmu.edu.

info
Uruguay has low to none crowd in most of the beaches from march to december. the only moment you will suffer, and trust me, you will, beacause of crowd is on january and march. When a lot of people decide that surf plus the lot of turism that the zone atracts. The weather conditions are fine during most of the year. June, July and august are really cold but surfable. The prices in comparition with the rest of the world are cheap (not gas, that is very expensive $1,2 for litre) and chiks are great. thats all, for pictures www.oceanmind.net, for further info contacto@oceanmind.netyou are always welcome!
