my friend lake simcoe goes off in the fall nice clean and blue water. the best place to surf if i'm concerned in the fall months. great waves reminds me of surfing portugal so much! (good size waves and cold water)
P.S you have to surf Simcoe at least once in the fall months great place!
If you believe this guy you've never been to Simcoe before.
I grew up on Simcoe. Yes it does get waves sometimes, but they are blown out with zero period. I have heard of some 'secret' bank near Jackson's point that gets waves, but after 20 years of living on a lake, swimming in it and biking around it, I am confident it would be good for nothing more that kiting or windsurfing.
Plus from June until October most of the beaches are posted due to high e coli counts. Most of the land around the lake is farms.
I don't want to sound negative, but wouldn't want anyone to spend the time and gas to drive there trying to find waves!
i've surfed there 3 times yes it's hard to find goos solis waves but when you do and your there at the right it's very nice waves. yea Portugal is a stretch but i do surf Portugal every summer and Simcoe does rimind me of smaller days in Portugal I(wave type)
sorry i was typing fast had to go out for a second and i read my post and it's not to clear.
The waves in Simcoe are similar to smaller days in Portugal I DON"T MEAN the swell is the same very,very different in so many ways!!!! what i'm saying is the spot i surfed in Simcoe, the wave breaks very similar to Sagres in Portugal.
The Ocean is SO different just the way the wave breaks reminded me of a spot in Portugal.
Yes maybe i don't surf Simcoe a lot considering i surf Kincardine most of the fall months but i got lucky going to Simcoe and scored some fun waves.
I wasn't sure about the water quality in Simcoe, figuring lake O is going to be a big pile of stink soon I thought Simcoe might be a cleaner alternative that's not too far away..but I guess with all of the farms around it's not worth it.
Steve, are you from up around Kincardine? I notice you mentioned you surf up here quite a bit.. You should let me know next time you're out, I live in Kincardine..Alway great to find more people from up this way to surf with, or in my case, attempt to surf! lol
i live in kitchener but stay up at a trailer park right near boiler beach (my family owns a trailer) the pier is my most liked and best spoti'm my eyes. i really like the conditons when it's big. not the cleanest waves but can get really big and fun.
but yea i'll surf with anyone, give me your email or a different form of contact and we can hook up next time the surf is up!
I'll be living in Waterloo starting September and looking for other people to surf with too, I won't have a car but if you're ever heading out and want to split on gas...
