14 Swimsuits That Can Stand Up to Even the Gnarliest Waves

When designing their collection of travel-friendly clothing and swimsuits, Summersalt took over 1.5 million body measurements to develop the world's most comprehensive sizing guide. When you pair the sporty Summersalt Marina Bikini Top ($50) with the full-coverage Diagonal Mid Rise Bottom ($45), you're guaranteed a perfect fit.

Pair the Sensi Graves Swim Colleen Reversible Bikini Top ($62) with the brand's Amanda Reversible Moderate Bikini Bottom ($54) for a suit that's supportive and versatile. One side features a blue and white dragonfruit print and the other a bright fuchsia. It'll be days before anyone realizes you've been wearing the same four-in-one suit all week.

The Rip Curl Classic Surf Eco One Piece ($70) proves that basic doesn't have to be boring. This suit offers light support and is made from eco-friendly recycled nylon. In addition to a chic black, you can get it in bright yellow or blue for a pop of color.

With more than 30 years in the swimwear game, Roxy knows a thing or two about surf-ready swimsuits that are functional and fashionable. The Roxy Beach Classics Athletic Bikini Top ($45) and Beach Classics Moderate Bikini Bottoms ($40) hold everything in place and look good doing it.

The Seea Swami's Playsuit ($150) pulls double-duty as both a rash guard and swim shorts. This long-sleeved suit offers maximum SPF coverage and can be worn over a bikini top for additional support.

There's a good reason the Albion Hang Ten Swim Crop ($88) is the brand's best-selling bikini top. The high neck and wide straps can withstand anything the ocean throws your way and it doubles as a water-friendly sports bra (that's three reasons, but who's counting?). We're all about mixing prints and love the contrast of these Laguna Midi Bottoms ($64) with the striped crop.

The Carve Designs Beacon One Piece ($76) features a low back and double strap construction making it the perfect active suit for chasing waves or swimming laps.

The adjustable criss-cross straps of the Title Nine Real Deal Bikini Top ($65) and flattering side ruching of the Holy Grail 2.0 Bikini Bottom ($52) elevate this set from basic bikini to stylish surfwear. Both come in a variety of solids and prints to let your personal style shine.

The Patagonia Long-Sleeved Swell Seeker One-Piece ($179) is a must-have for marathon surf sessions. The long sleeves and high neck offer major sun protection, but the material is light enough to keep you cool.

The wide band on the Senita Athletics Audrey Cropkini ($28) and four-way stretch on the Mirage Bikini Bottoms ($20) help this bikini stay in place regardless of how many waves you catch.

The Summersalt Surf One Piece ($95) from Summersalt isn't just named for the popular water sport, it's perfect for surf outings. The high neck and back provide just the right amount of coverage and the contrasting colors make it pop.

If full-coverage isn't your style, but you don't want to lose your top to a gnarly wave, this Olaian Surfing Swimsuit Crop Top ($17) and Surf Briefs ($17) might be more your speed. The top has adjustable straps and the bottoms have a drawstring for a custom, won't-fall-off fit.

The TomboyX Racerback Unisuit ($89) is a fully-lined sporty suit with 6-inch shorts and a bold floral print, and it comes in rigorously fit-tested sizes from XS to 4X. It's also quick-drying and offers UPF 50 sun protection.

If your wave-riding requires a full-length wetsuit, the Olaian Neoprene Back Zipper Surfing Wetsuit ($70) is affordable and practical. Despite it being a full wetsuit, it's easy to move in, breathable, and quick-drying.
