anywhere. Just about everywhere in Central America has waves. There are some major differences between countries - If you haven't taken a trip before, then start off by going to costa rica. Costa Rica is almost like a rite of passage for the east coast surfer. It is a fairly easy, safe trip. April to September is the most consistent for the central america pacific side with consistent south swells, while winter time is best for the caribbean side.
