  1. Yes you can surf any time you want to... at least on most beaches.  Some people don't like surfing after dark because it's a bit scary and harder to see.

    I've surfed as early as 4am and as late as about 10 at night, no problem.

    Of course, that assumes there are surfable waves at those times of day.


  2. Absolutely!  I have a difficult schedule, so I often surf at dusk from anywhere between 5 pm and 7 pm.  At most beaches, I often find less people and crowds at this time.  The lighting is somewhat odd to get used to, but you simply have to stay more alert when it is darker.

  3. you can surf any time you like. but if you live in a dangerous area sharks can be a problem at night. You should also get a tide chart to see when the tides are good (in the morning or night) if its high tide and really choppy waves then surfing isnt the best idea. If you are near a jetti or pier at night it can also be very dangerous.

  4. It depends on where you live.

    In some places, you can only surf for certain times, because sharks feed and stuff.

    You could find out hours you can surf from local surf shops. If you know there are no sharks where you live, then I guess surf whenever you want!

  5. whenever there is light on it. have your stuff ready to go and don't waste time. your burnin daylight.

    You may also have to take into account wind and tide.

  6. Sure you can surf at "any time" of the day or night!  The main thing is to know the break you are wanting to surf ie; low tide or high tide break? What ever hazards there are around, etc, etc.  Surfing is all about desire, if your desire is strong nothing will impede you!  Have fun!

  7. You could surf after you get off work. Most people surf early in the morning, at least in Southern California, because later in the day the on-shore winds pick up making it choppy.
