Warm-water winter · Latin America
Every warm-water surf and small-beach-town base, side by side — a satellite view of each break, the flight from your chosen departure city, the surf as it actually is, what the town runs on, and the caveats nobody puts in the listing. Not a pitch: an inventory. Three towns have costed deep-dives — Popoyo, Sayulita, El Salvador.
Click a column header to sort. Advisory is US State Dept, country-level (Mexico varies by state — only Nayarit is verified here). “—” means the research didn't establish it; nothing here is guessed.
