The Surfer's Journal

The Surfer’s Journal is a bi-monthly surf publication founded in 1992 and based in San Clemente, California. Known for its long-form storytelling, stunning photography, and thoughtful exploration of surf culture, travel, craft, and profiles of surfing's most colorful subjects, the magazine takes a timeless, literary approach—offering a deeper, more considered perspective on surfing and life around the ocean.

As a reader-supported surf magazine, The Surfer’s Journal is a truly unique periodical. The publication has limited advertising, making each 136-page issue almost entirely editorial. Coupled with the premium construction (we love how each issue's binding is a different color!), The Surfer’s Journal is a product that is peerless in its quality and content.
