Visitor Reviews of Champerico


christian from GUATEMALA writes:

The locals are a friendly bunch that are always willing to help you catch waves even if it means giving you the better wave. There is a 'mi ola es tu ola' among us and we love to have people from around the World come to visit. The waves can be very good getting up to 10ft on a really good day and a normal day is about 3 to 5ft with nice barrels. The best swell direction is a SW swell. This is an exposed beach/pier break.
