Anyone ever chase a swell all the way up to Nova Scotia in the fall? What's it like outside of Halifax? Is there places to camp and explore?
I bet there are waves all the time with that jagged coastline! I have been looking into this as well. There is some info on the link I posted. It's a climbing forum, but it will help. Try calling calling local surf shops. http://www.mountainproject.com/v/international/north_america/canada/105894486
get in touch with South Shore Surf Surf Shop in Lunenburg - its run by Walter and he'll get you sorted.
Bunch of us went 5-6 years ago. It took 15 hours from boston to lawrencetown. There is a camp ground 10 minutes away or you can try to contact happy dudes surf shop. http://www.happydudes.ca/happy-dudes-shop.htm I think he will let you camp next to the shop. Surf spots. I here cows bay is really good. Some spots they will chase you out and threaten you. super long point breaks. look on youtube for videos
