In an article USA Today published a list of the Top 10 surfing spots in the world. Classics like Hawaii, Tahiti and Cape Town are included, but also surprisingly the Bay of Biscaine in France.

The reports gives some facts about the conditions at these spots like “The aptly named ‘Dungeons’ off the coast are “doubly dangerous,” says Barber. These big waves are among the most feared in the world and also “by far the sharkiest,” thanks, in part, to the large seal colony next door. For visitors looking for more Jaws-free paddling, Barber recommends heading north to the netted beaches of Durban for “fun waves and warm water.”

Well, we would like to add spot No. 11 - Costa Ricas Nicoyan Peninsula with many hidden and crowdless spots. How many people do you have in San Diego in the water?

Thanks to Gadling for the hint!
