Chile, Peru, and Ecuador all have excellent surf. Really good surf. Colombia is a hit or miss region because swells don't reach its pacific coastline as much. The past two weeks the water has been chilly here in Lobitos, Peru. It will warm up again next week when swell direction changes. The water temp is about 75 degrees Fahrenheit at the moment...and it is winter time here now. Gets much warmer in the summer months...which is reverse from North America.
