How long?  Budget?  Without knowing the answers to the preceeding, have you considered Peru?  Your biggest expense will be the flight there.

 
Screw you onefin.

this is good stuff; keep it coming
 
chicama is very doable.  even though i'm regular.  that's how much i love point breaks.  i'd probably spend half the day going backside and half the day trying to surf switchfoot.  does it barrel?
 
dakook with the proximity to lima wouldn't pico alto be crowded?
 
with both: how cold?
 
ideal situation: long barreling right hand point break.  in boardies.
 
yeah one to the fin, we need to meet up!

peru is typically considered the land of left, that said La Isla and Caballeros in Punta Hermosa are pretty epic and will be big.  La Isla is a similair setup to Sunset, where as caballeros is more of a skatey right up to 8 ft.  Kon Tiki is an epic outer reef I have yet to surf because I am a doofus and went undergunned.  There is also Pacho Rocas which is a pretty great right.  The more N you go the more left dominant the coastline becomes.  I know of other rights S of Lima but the spoon I am feeding you with is only so big.  


Of course there is Pavones and the right on the other side.  Oh and Morroco the land of epic empty rights, cheap as brown trout.  Seasonally not so sure?  Fiti fiti in tahiti is bonkers this time of year.  Google it snittzle.



your not going to surf pico alto trust me and going this time of year is thier winter.

[size=small]BONUS RECOMMENDATION:[/color][/i][/color][/font][/b][/size][/font]

Ica -T[/]he[/] finest right-breaking wave in Peru.  Because of its position, the island features the only wave in Peru where right-running, tubular waves break to the west. The water is very cold, and strong winds gust in the afternoons. Its a unique surf spot, where surfers take to the waves amidst hundreds of sea lions.

Access: The island lies 5 km west of the Paracas Peninsula. It can only be reached by boat and surfers tend to hire launches at El Chaco.

I've always wanted to finally hit Bali. 
Just scored a job teaching night school at a "Grade 13" college so it looks like next year I may have the ducats saved for a 6 week binge. I guess it's pretty much lefts, Surfnli, but it's BARRELING siiiiick lefts and there no finer a pursuit than backside barrel surfing.
Although mechanical mile-long point surf might be pretty damn fun too, but I surf in a wetsuit about 7 days a year these days(when I visit my mom in Northern Cal.) and never for more than 2 hours at a time. Just imagine a week surfing Chicama WITH TOW SERVICE. You would probably spend more actual surf time in one week(I mean time actually riding waves) as you do all year in LI.
