With more than 1,100 miles of spectacular coastline washed by the Mediterranean Sea, Algeria offers plenty of territory for surfers to explore.
The Djazair Surf Club, which was founded in 1999, however, has been working hard to put the country on the world surfing map, and is quickly attracting a global following as well as a growing local community.
The best months for surfing in Algeria are November and December when the Mistral northerly winds blow across the Mediterranean and creates solid swells along the coast of Northern Africa.
