Rapidly accessed from Guatemala City, Puerto San Jose is Guatemala's most important seaside resort and as such, is the most surfed beach in the country. Take the boat across the Canal de Chiquimulilla to reach the grubby beach where average, all tide peaks break beside the pier.
Rips, some residential pollution and weekend warriors make this place less appealing. Rip-offs fairly common as well.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
