surfing in India
  India has 7,000 kilometers. Most of that is unexplored in terms of surf. But with the exposure to the Arabian Sea, the Indian Ocean and the Bay of Bengal and with nothing off the southern tip of India for thousands, and thousands of kilometers except Antarctica, there going to be some great spots and great waves.

I've seen surf in almost every place I've been (Kanyakumari, Pondicherry, Mahabalipuram, Vishkapatam, Kovalum, Juhu/Bombay, Alibag, etc.). The thing is that you generally have to get on it early and at low tide- ie. usually a short window. the NW can definitely get as good as the SE.

Kite Surfinf in Goa
I have never seen any surfers in Goa, but you may want to try Kerala state, which is south to Goa and is said to have higher waves.

On the other hand, there are a lot of KITE surfers in Goa. The best conditions for kite surfing are in February and March.

In fact, I am working a job of kite surfing instructor in Goa.

If you would like to learn kite surfing while on vacation in Goa, be sure to check my web site which have both English and Russian versions:
