Santa Catalina remained a cherished secret for years, but now has the reputation as one of the best waves in Central America, thanks to unrivalled reliability and year-round offshores. Swell pulling bathymetry sucks in S-SW where the peeling rights break almost every day, especially from April to October. The outside La Punta section attracts the biggest crowd, which gets dispersed down the long point, which works much better at high tide. The offshores get very strong in the afternoon.

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.
