Iztapa

Edit Spot

About

I think Iztapa is good place....is better when theres no wind....y recomend La barra de Iztapa that is open from august to december, and the barra in Linda vista....a very good spot that is just 1 mile away from iztapa.

Atmosphere:
Iztapa is a very small town....but there are a couple of local surfers, and several surfers from guatemala city go to iztapa in the weekends...if you are in iztapa.....ask for Lester (the wave rider)(nickname "el monta olas" in spanish) Lester is a very nice surfer guy that will show you the greates spots for surfing in Iztapa

Additional Info:
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.
