This summer I will have a good couple of months free from university. In that time I would like to travel somewhere (most likely solo) where I can enjoy myself with decent girls, good nightlife and a vibe where it is easy to meet people, in specific girls who are the same age as me so 18-20.
E.g. in Madrid I noticed there were many girls aged 18 in clubs and pretty much everywhere so I liked that. What are some of the other places which stood out by having a large teen population? I don't want to go to a place where i'll be meeting older people constantly. Bonus if it's a Spanish speaking country and by the water.

Based on the criteria you list, and assuming you're a relatively inexperienced traveler, you should go to one of the traditional party-themed destinations.
Here's a non-comprehensive list for summer:
Top choices - Ibiza, Mykonos, Ios, Corfu, Ultra Europe (in Split), any other EU music festival such as Tomorrowland.
If you have some extra $ in the bank - Cannes, St Tropez, Monaco (more of an older crowd), or Barcelona.
If you're willing to go a little more exotic, take a look at the Full Moon Party in Thailand, or do a jungle excursion trip in Costa Rica or somewhere in Central America (will be a little less partying, but still a great time and more adventurous).
I will say that if you are 18-22 and want to have a great time partying, I would go to one of the top choices. Those places are catered specifically to people your age, and youth runs out quicker than you think. It is generally much more difficult for a 30 year old guy to have fun in Ios than a 20 year old. And since you'd be going solo, if you stay in a hostel, it is really easy to link up with a group that way.

Nice recommendations, however I am looking for more of an authentic experience as I have travelled to places like Barcelona but I have never left Europe except for Egypt. I am relatively street smart so I feel like I want to go to somewhere wilder. This got me thinking Mexico City as I have a friend there who could accomodate me for free but at the same time RVF members say Colombia/Brazil are a better option as Mexicanas lack talent. Another option is Indonesia as I have a relative there, then I could take a plane to Phillipines for example. I also mean local teen girls more so than backpackers.
Edit: Everyone I know goes to Greece, Croatia but I want somewhere different, preferably in Latam/SEA but with a high young population where the average english 19 year old doesn't really go, what other places would you guys recommend? (I am also taking Spanish classes)

If you're considering SEA, you would be able to bang 20-24 year olds too. Asians aren't too good at reading westerners' age. Even if you have a baby face, you can pass off any age you want.
The 18 year olds in Asia CAN but may not always be more conservative as well so thats an important thing to note.

The Greek islands - ie Ios and Mykonos fit your description a Contiki tour would be great for you probably. If you want to get a bit more exotic, maybe try some of the beaches in EE, such as Sunny Beach in Bulgaria, Parnu in Estonia, or Vama Veche in Romania. The crowds should be relatively young and they are all good party towns in the summer with decent festivals.
Aside from that- San Juan del Sur in Nicaragua, Montanita in Ecuador, Lagos in Portugal..

It sounds like you have Mexico on your mind. I wrote a post recently on a thread about Mexico that someone made to summarize the major cities.
Honestly you can find 18-20 year olds anywhere. Stay in hostels and they'll be there.
There are also clubs in every city that seem to attract a younger crowd. For example in Monterrey Mexico, "The City" is the one that attracts an 18 - 23 crowd.

In the end I chose Mexico city, along with a potential trip to Mazatlan. I will be stopping first in NY, Boston and New Hampshire USA. This summer will be insane I can feel it, I've never been to the Americas so I will experience a whole new world

Malta and especially Paceville are one of the best place in Europe for under 25, young girls from all over Europe go there to have fun and the place is full of summer English schools (that are full of teenagers).
