The market has been flooded with surfing games in recent years, for mobile phones, laptops, the X-Box, Playstation and god knows what else.
And when I say flooded, I mean not in a good way, there's a bunch of crap you'll need to sift through to find a surf game that's not painful to play.
But there are a few...
So what I've done is compiled this mega list for you, complete with user ratings etc. so that you can skip bad games and get straight to the good.
Start flexing your thumbs, because things are about to get very addictive, very quickly.
SURFING GAMES - THE COMPLETE LIST
Back in the day there used to be WAY more surfing games out there, but nowadays there are few.
Regardless, here are all the surf games for you, conveniently showcased in this list, enjoy.
SURFING GAMES FOR YOUR PHONE
The quality and quantity of surfing games on the Appstore or Google Play is not great, but there are a few to choose from to keep you dreaming on flat days.
The best of a bad bunch below:
1. TRUE SURF
YES
YES
True Surf is a game that lets you surf all the best waves in the world.
And with its hookup to Surfline, each spot is surfed in the actual conditions that day.
2. THE JOURNEY - SURF GAME
NO
YES
True Surf is a game that lets you surf all the best waves in the world.
And with its hookup to Surfline, each spot is surfed in the actual conditions that day.
3. SURF OR DIE
YES
YES
This game looks like it's been made by my 12 year old nephew, and by the looks of the reviews, others agree.
I highly doubt you'll ever download this game, so just skip to the next on on this list.
4. BEACH WATER SURFING FUN RACE
YES
NO
A bit of a bleak, random surfing game in all honesty.
The aim of the game is to complete surf missions.
Not my cup of tea, but each to their own, hey?
5. IDLE SURFING
YES
NO
This game takes a unique approach, focusing on setting up a surf school, and competing to make it number 1.
Open new surf schools around the world, and compete against people around the world.
SURFING GAMES FOR X-BOX, PLAYSTATION, AND ONLINE
There's not a whole lot of surf games out there right now, but you can find the best ones, below.
1. SURF WORLD SERIES
An arcade game that'll take you around the world surfing the best waves.
Build up your surfer to compete at the highest level.
2. BARTON LYNCH PRO SURFER 2022
This is where it's at, a throwback to the old Kelly Slater Pro Surfer games back in the early 2000's this game has it all.
Well worth a look.
CONCLUSION
It's a bit of a shame that there aren't more surfing games out there nowadays, as it seems the good old days were full of them.
Nevertheless, probably a good thing as that means you can actually get out there and do real surfing, in the actual water - you know the one.
Anyway, hopefully this list serves you well helps distract you from boredom when you most need it.
Yew!
