Park your car in Sontecomapan and from there you take a 20 minute boat ride to La Barra.La Barra has left and right sections and you will have no problems with localism (it's a fishermen’s town).On a small day you should take a longboard, but if you’re there on a good day, then don’t forget to pack your shortboard.Things you can do if it's flat:You can chill out in a hotel 5 minutes away from La Barra called Rancho los Amigos. They have nice cabins and a great atmosphere.If you're interested in learning Spanish while you're travelling you can take great Spanish lessons in a school located in Catemaco called "Mexico Magico".The best time to surf is during Nortes’ season (tropical storms), wich begins around September and lasts until March. After that it’s flat for about 2 months or 3, but sometimes hurricanes appear around that time, and that’s when the serious waves appear.During the wave season you get about 2 Nortes (tropical storms) per week so you can get decent 6-7 Foot faces. More rights than lefts but it offers both choices.
A series of right points with prevailing wind side/offshore. Popular with windsurfers. There is a short shouldered left off of a peak at the top of the point, powerful. Reefs at the top that can be more consistent than the point itself on winter swells with lefts and rights. Camping only...no facilities, typical Baja experience. Wave is not fast and not very hollow but fun and long with juice at size. Some reef breaks north of the point about 5K. Lefts and rights. The reefs blow out on NW winds.
In monterrico you can find hotel with price from 5$ to 20$. The waves are good from may to october.

La barra Surf Spot Guide, Guatemala La Barra is a powerful rivermouth wave that breaks predominantly to the right, delivering long, hollow, and fast-moving barrels that can stretch between 150 to 500 meters depending on swell size. Located south of Iztapa on Guatemala's Pacific coast, this is one of the most consistent and rewarding waves […]
This is where it breaks; pretty good as well; nice rights; sometimes hollow. You can stay at the bungalows near the rivermouth for maybe 30Q per night. Very beautiful. I was there for 4 days and didnt see another surfer. Watch out for debris coming out of the rivermouth.
Depending on your surfing skills, you have to choose a right tide time. For the begginers Mi-Tide getting-low is very fun. For the more experienced a high tide is awesome. At El Paredon Surf Camp(and offices in Antigua) they have tidal data and forecast.There are no signs along the road that indicate how to reach it, therefore the most recommended tip would be to contact El Paredon Surf Camp, right in Antigua. They can tell you how to reach the spot or they can drive you. So far they offer basic accommodations and great food, good music, etc.
When you get off of the bus in Champe just go strait on the main street and you won't miss it, in fact just listen and you'll find it. You'll see abunch of little "ranchitos" (small beach restaurants with palm-roof decks facing the beach) all along the beach front. If you brought a car you can park it by the little ranchito where you will be eating (a decent meal will only cost you about 40 Quetzales{less than 5 US Dollars}).Be sure to get there early(6or7am)to catch the best waves. At about 3pm waves start to get a little rough and choppy, and sometimes depending on the weather, there might be some undertoe.
