Hola todos
G-day, me llamo Giles, i'm from Australia and am coming to Guatemala to run a peace-type camp for teenagers.
After that I have 7 weeks or so learn some Spanish and hopefully find a bit of surf.
From what i've been reading so far it sounds like there are lots of banditos, pollution and the best places are hard to get to, so it must be good yeah?
Haha, I teach surfing back here in OZ, and just want to meet some cool local crew, discover a few surf spots y aprendar un poco espanol.
Would love to get involved in something worth while,
email me or leave some info if you can help.
Cheers

Best time to visit Guatemala
If your only interested in surfing the best time to visit here is March and April. Its the end of the dry season and the swell picks up (6 to 8ft) in these months. Don't recommend the rainy season (june through october) since the rivers swell up and the beaches get a lot of trash. They'res waves all year round and if your looking to surf and do some sightseeing to, the the best month to come down is definitely november.

El Paredon, Guatemala
By jcannon001, 2006-05-28 08:00:00

 Waited over 5 hours at airport before ride came. We were promised pick up by Adolf. He left town, sent a broken down VW that crapped out. Had to ride taxi.  The waves were chest to head high+ glassy in morning. Strictly short board waves
