We are excited to announce new surf forecast locations for all of Central America from Guatemala to Panama.

The Costa Rica forecasts were launched in early 2022. The early addition of Costa Rica was mostly due to Surf Captain founder, Micah Sklut, and his desire to have great forecasts to accompany his addiction to traveling to this Central America surf paradise. We are now super stoked to also include forecasts for Panama, Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Guatemala.

The Pacific Coast of Central America is a wave rich region of the world with year round waves and high quality surf breaks. Not to mention warm water! And, on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica and Panama you have shorter period Caribbean trade swells that can pack a punch. All in all, this is one of the best and most travelled surf regions in the world.

You might be wondering why it has taken so long for Surf Captain to expand to Central America. While, we aren't able to surf every break on our forecast list, a great deal of research does goes into configuring every forecast location. This includes determining the optimal swell windows, analyzing the influences of wind direction, and taking into account the bathymetry (ocean bottom depths and features) of every location. We plan to continually add more locations in time.
