Visitor Reviews of Monterrico

Roger Berner from GUATEMALA writes:

I live in Monterrico 8 months out of the year. Surfing here is almost unheard of. Rarely do you see a right to left or left to right break. It usually breaks straight on. So much so that when there are the 12 footers they trap air and shoot water straight up out of the top of the breaking wave. When people want to surf the go to Puerto San Jose where the beach angle is better for wave break.
