Montanita is the home of surfing in Ecuador, and known as one of the best sites in South America. October and November tend to see more rain, while December through July is more sunny. Inspite of some rain, the temperature is warm and the surf consitant all year. Additionally, because the waves are smaller at low tide and bigger at high tide, the beaches in Montanita are ideal for all levels of surfers.
