Reasonably warm/affordable places to surf this time of year?

Hello all,
Just found this forum. Looking forward to becoming a part of the community.
I've got the itch to surf. It's been a few years and I really want to get back into it. I live in Colorado but I'm not opposed to flying somewhere close (regionally). I'm thinking LA, Costa Rica, South America...
I'm open to suggestions. Where's warm this time of year with good surf for a beginner?
