Surfers in Singapore who have been thwarted in chasing the waves overseas by Covid-19 travel restrictions have been flocking to one of the known surf spots in the country. Around 20 surfers were seen there yesterday afternoon - a beach near the National Service Resort & Country Club in Changi. One surfer, who wanted to be known only as Kim, said it is rare to find waves high enough to surf here, but they do appear at the spot between November and February each year due to wet weather and stronger winds. Surfers here usually head to Malaysia and Indonesia for their fix.
