About Mexico & Central America

Mexico and Central America form one of the world's great surf corridors, offering everything from slow beach breaks for first-timers to punishing barrels that draw the world's best. Puerto Escondido's Zicatela beach break is routinely called the Mexican Pipeline. Sayulita and the Riviera Nayarit cater to schools and longboarders. Costa Rica's Guanacaste and the Nicoya Peninsula offer consistent surf camp infrastructure across a wide range of ability levels. Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Panama are increasingly on the circuit for operators seeking uncrowded breaks and long right-hand point waves.
