Dapoli 

An escape to the Coast, a retreat on the beach and the exhilarating experience to learn to surf in Dapoli with us offers Maharastrian’s a close location to get away, even if it is just for a few days.

Our base in Maharashtra is Dapoli, where we mainly do our surf lessons at Murud Beach. Murud offers the ideal location for learning to surf and improving your surfing. We have great waves combined with a very picturesque location.

With fantastic gentle learn to surf waves rolling over a long sand bank, our Dapoli learn to surf base offers an excellent opportunity to come and learn to surf in Dapoli, Maharashtra, especially for those living in Mumbai and Pune.

For those that can already surf, there can be very fun waves behind the impact zone at Murud itself. There are also a number of other spots along the Dapoli beaches where great waves offer multiple manoeuvre opportunities on both lefts and rights. Dapoli is still a yet to be discovered surfing destination so the waves are empty and are ideal for those wanting to improve their skills and performance.

As a very big added bonus, there are also many pods of dolphins in the area which can regularly be seen from the beach, playing in the waves and frolicking in the ocean! If you are lucky enough, you can be out surfing when they appear close by and playing on the waves or the open ocean.

Why Dapoli

We have had so much demand in our Karnataka Surf School for surfing from people in Mumbai, Pune, Maharashtra and northern India that we wanted to make surfing more accessible to these past guests and for many more future surfers from northern India who found it difficult to get to Karnataka. So we opened our Mumbai Surf School in Dapoli.

If you are in Mumbai, Pune or other parts of Maharashtra, you can surf in Maharashtra with us in Dapoli.

Dapoli is located in easy proximity to both the major cities of Mumbai and Pune and can be accessed by car, bus or train.

To surf in Maharashtra, a major factor is water quality and cleanliness. While it would be fantastic to surf in Maharashtra closer to Mumbai and for our surf school to be based in the city itself or on the outskirts, the water quality is a major consideration.

Indica Surf School has made Dapoli our Maharashtrian base, making the decision to be based slightly further away from Mumbai but with a far higher quality of water. We want people to have an amazing time with us without the fear of getting sick or picking up ear, nose or throat infections, or worse if the water is polluted.

We are very fortunate to have clean water in Dapoli and this we found to be the best, cleanest water closest to the south of the major metropolis of Mumbai.

Our location here is fantastic in a remote area with empty waves providing our surfers with ideal conditions to learn to surf and improve their surfing with us.

Another amazing exciting treat for us and our surfers are the regular sighting of dolphins in the ocean, often seen playing in the waves and not too far off the shoreline. No matter how many times, as a surfer, we see and get the chance to surf with dolphins, it is always a highlight of the surf!
