Montanita

Montanita Ecuador is not just one of the best surf spots in South America it’s a really laid back, fun town with girls and guys from all the over the world. It really does have something for everyone. For the hardcore surfer who wants to get up early and score some insane right hand barrels to the party animal who wants to rage in town until dawn. Montanita is truly a Ecuadorian paradise with warm water, cool locals who rip at surfing, sexy girls and guys in general a surf party atmosphere. The town in Montanita goes off with live music almost every night and the beach is warm and sunny everyday from December through the end of May.

Over the years Montanita has developed from a small fishing village to a surf party town. It has developed in a nice way with a variety of local shops bars and restaurants and is very fun town. Its funny how many people have stayed and never leave, including myself. The water is in the low eighties and it’s sunny almost everyday. The surf pumps all year but is best from December through May.

Weather Conditions in Montanita have two main seasons. From December through May the coast of Ecuador is sunny and rains at night. From the end of May through November the coast of Ecuador is cooler with mixed sunny days and overcast conditions. The Humpback whales travel up the coast to mate and it’s a great time for Ecotourism. You can spend a few days in Montanita and then travel up to Puerto Lopez to visit Isla de La Plata or go whale watching. Get more information about Whale Watching in Ecuador.
