Answer 3

I don't know about "time" periods per se, but we sure as h**l avoid it when the water has been contaminated by a sewage spill!!

Answer 4

Not really.

Many don't surf that much in the summer(East coast Aus.)

cause the winds are messed up.

I've surfed a few times alone after huge storms+2-3 days.

The surfers usually get exhausted after a coupla big days and then there's solid 4 footers all for yourself....

Answer 5

the day after it rains in an urban area

Answer 6

Lunch time

Answer 7

There are times when the water's too rough to surf, but I think it the time really depends on where you're surfing at

Answer 8

Aside from water quality issues I try to avoid surfing around river mouths or inlets at dusk and dawn, these are when sharks are more actively feeding.

Answer 9

After big rainstorms all of the runoff from the streets makes it's way into the water. This can make you very sick. I've included a link about water quality.

Also night. Night is a very bad time to surf.
