I have low porosity curly hair, and I surf and swim constantly, which means my hair is always being hit by salt water, UV damage, and harsh sun exposure. Low porosity hair is tricky because it resists moisture but then struggles to let it go, so finding the right products is everything. This is my personal guide to keeping my curls healthy, defined, and moisturized all summer long from wash day to beach day!

My go to surfer girl and vacation essentials. As a girly that spends a lot of time in the sun, I have compiled a list of products that I adore!

As a girlie who’s always outside and in the elements, I get asked a lot about how I take care of my hair. Between surfing, sun exposure, and saltwater, my hair can get dry, sun-bleached, and prone to breakage. I’ve been finding ways to protect my curls, keep my hair healthy, and support growth while still living my best ocean girl life. 🌊 Here are some of the products that have been working for me!

From a surfer girl, for a surfer girl (or someone who loves one). 🌊 This list features some of my 2026 favorites and wishlist finds that I think would make the perfect gifts for the surfer girl in your life. Think surf essentials, beachy accessories, cute swimwear, sun care, and a little tropical girl goodness.

So rainy season here runs Oct–April, worst of it Dec–Feb… but that's my favorite time to go. Way less crowded, and the surf is actually some of the best all year. Don't let the name scare you off 🌦️🏄‍♀️ Here are my rainy season favesss.
