This is my sweet spot... Looking forward to your list!Five Out
These all have a bit of surf to them, but I outed them for being off-genre and maybe of interest for the brand recognition making a surf rock list.
Psychedelia crosses over with surf some if you're just a reverb junkie. This worked nice on the playlist, and listening to it made me wonder. Wth happened to Tame Impala? He had something good going for a minute there.

It’s a pleasure to give this a listen from time to time. On a surf rock list? Yeah, I believe Ennio has confessed he borrowed much of his spaghetti scores from surf guitars.

This one’s a reach, but we’re just enjoying music and this is such an underrated song from an underrated band. Listen carefully to the guitar parts and it’s there. Maybe more western reverb than surf, but it’s there. I swear. It’s also out.
Head On - The Jesus and Mary Chain

It’s right there at the 3 minute mark, right? Much like Jesus and Mary above, this is big wall oh sound rock before it’s surf rock, but I’m just discovering these oddities on my list and I hear the influence if you don’t. Another underrated band with an underrated song.
Sugar Kane - Sonic Youth

Really getting weird. Cambodian folk rock with a little hint of surf guitar again at the 3 minute mark. This made my playlist while I was still smoking weed. I don’t care what you think, it’s a hellova cool song. Surf rock? If I say so, I suppose.
Sni Bong - Dengue Fever

The final list will be mostly traditional sounding surf rock to the point of redundancy.
And fun to see Dengue Fever... Featuring Zac from my favorite SF band, Deiselhed
