1. Nope! Added by: Michele

   I didn't visit the pacific side of Guatemala, because it
   didn't sound so great - flat lands, black beaches, 40
   degrees and lots of sunbaked pineapple plantations. And I
   didn't hear anything about surfing on the carribean side.
   Guatemala is more about Mayan culture, mountains and
   Spanish colonial archetecture than beach in my experience -
   but I'm not a surfer.

2. Not too good in Guatemala Added by: Chato

   There is virtually no surf on the Atlantic side. The
   Pacific beaches drop off pretty steep so the waves break
   close in. The breaks are big but they are too even and its
   hard to get out past the waves without being lucky or a
   hero.El Salvador however has some very good places to surf
   and if you're going to be here in Guat awhile you'll end up
   there for sure.
