Methodology
- Listing and price figures come from every approved, active listing on International Surf Properties that is for sale; sold, leased and rental listings are excluded. They update automatically as listings change.
- Prices are sellers' asking prices in US dollars, not recorded sale prices. Listings priced in another currency, on request, or below $10,000 count towards listing totals but not towards prices. No median is shown for fewer than 3 priced listings.
- Surf figures come from the active breaks in the International Surf Properties surf break guide. Wave type, skill level and best season are as recorded for each break; a break can count towards more than one type or level.
- Feature shares (such as beachfront) use the tags sellers set on their listings.
- Please cite this page with its date; figures change as listings and break records change.
