My stock reply: Sure there's surf in Malaysia. It may not always be huge but it's real consistent from November till March. Granted, I wouldn't really advise anyone to fly in solely for the surf here (although it does get epic from time to time and there's lots of other sea sports to be had to supplement the surfing anyway). In other words, if you're going to be around the Malaysian East Coast for other reasons anyway, then places like Cherating, Desaru and Tanjung Resang for instance are definitely surfable. Not to mention a boat-load of fun! In fact, I happened to be in Tanjung Resang this 2010/2011 NE monsoon and the waves there were big enough to be intimidating. We went out for a sail on a trimaran once and it almost felt that our mast was dwarfed by the swell rolling in from the South China Sea. So yeah, surf's definitely up.

They told that E22 Expressway will be opened in Mac 2011. I saw that the Cable Bridge crossing Sg Johor has completed. Cant wait to try across such beautiful bridge. It is estimated that it may only takes 45 minutes from JB to Desaru using the E22 Expressway. Hope Desaru will boom again soon. Surfing at Desaru would be great once the E22 Expressway is open.

What Johor lacks is total tourism planning, it has the potential if fully developed, we can only hope for the Iskandar project can really take off, to attract tourists, instead of relying on Singapore's 'spill over' effect.
