Where can you dive AND surf?

[Briguy_78]

Barbados or the west side of Puerto Rico has both and you can do it in the same day.

I second Barbados. I currently live here and when there is a good swell, there is great surfing on the east coast. Kelly Slater loves coming to Barbados. I would say the diving is good, but honestly have only been diving on a few of the other islands in the Caribbean, so don't have much to compare to. If you keep your eye out, you can get good deals on flights as well from NY.

Are the sites close enough for staying at the same place?

Best diving ( what i do ) and surfing were different places though not impossible to do both same day or place.

The Pipeline is many miles from shore, and awsome surfing, immediately next to awesome diving or snorkeling. You need a boat for the surfing--to get there, and so you could surf a few hours, have lunch, then dive a few hours at the same place ( a hundred yards from the surf zone).

Given the swell and surge from Hurricane Norbert off Mexico, I exited the water last night by surfing into the dive park stairs... but I don't think that's what you are looking for in terms of diving and surfing!

Not traditional surfing but the wind surfing in Dahab, Egypt, is supposed to be brilliant! I know nothing about windsurfing but can highly recommend the diving!

Sal island, part of the Cape Verde archipelago, is very well known for both surfing and diving.

Conditions are variable. In most spots you can either dive or surf but not both. A few sites, like Topaz Jetty, Haggerty's and Cabrillo Beach offer both at the same time. Surfers enjoy the south side of the Topaz jetty while divers are less than 1/4 mile north. . .
