E.S. Surf Spots (Description)

See table!!!

LA LIBERTAD

Punta Roca:
Punta Roca, more commonly referred to as "La Punta" is one of the best rights our planet has to offer. It is the premiere destination of every surf trip to El Salvador and more often than not it is crowded. The wave itself barrels graciously on the take-off before walling up for the long, long inside section. La Punta works best from four feet to to fifteen feet and is good on both tides, although it gets shallow on low tide, so be careful with the rocks. La Punta is world class. It's definitely a place that you have to surf at least once, no, make that twice in your life.

Punta Coco:
Punta Coco is AkwaTerra´s pride and joy. A fast hollow grinding right hander working better at mid to low tide. Punta Coco is just a couple of steps away from our property. AkwaTerra and our friends at K-59 offer exclusive access to this spot, so low crowds are almost a guarantee. This spot may be a bit inconsistent, but it can get so perfect, its mindboggling.

El Sunzal:
El Sunzal is one of the most popular destinations in El Salvador for its consistency and quality. It is a long rideable right with multiple take-off zones. Despite its relatively harmless allure, Sunzal can pack serious currents, especially if you get caught inside. Sunzal is always a good call when everywhere else is flat. At high tide, long boarders will feel right at home at this spot. At low tide, short boarders will find a hollow rippable inside section. Being a deep water break, the place can hold up to any swell size and its definitely a must.

La Bocana:
A classic rivermouth lineup, la bocana is the locals favorite break. This has to be the most consistent spot in the country. A grinding left and an underestimated right, the waves here can get perfect, real perfect. La Bocana is attacked by city warriors early at dawn on weekends. But from Monday to Friday, expect empty waves but no easy ride. In any swell size, getting caught inside is a certainty. This powerful wave works good on high tide and unleashes its hollow magic on mid tide going low.

Palmarcito:
This right point is ideally for beginners. Set in the middle of lush vegetation, this break is ideal for fun afternoon sessions.

El Zonte:
El Zonte is a short but fun right point break. It offers a hollow section in the inside, especially at low tide. The point is settled in a nice cove with beautiful scenery. A striving surfing community is growing based on this right hander, which offers perfection, especially from November to May.

KM-59:
KM-59 is yet another right point break in this beautiful coastline. Just the ride to get here is a trip by itself. This beach is located in a private gated community of beach houses. AkwaTerra and our friends at K-59 offer exclusive access to this spot, so low crowds are almost a guarantee. The wave is short but offers a hollow section on the inside. Expect isolated perfection in an awesome setting.

KM-61:
KM-61 is a right point break, overshadowed by its famous neighbor K-59. However, you can always appreciate this empty peeling rights from the lineup at K-59. We can guarantee that the paddle is worthwhile. Good at medium to low tides.

MIZATA:
Mizata is a point break that offers lefts and rights. This spot is about 45 minutes from La Libertad and it is known for its inconsistent but great waves. However, the drive is completely worthwhile on a solid southwest swell.

Conchalio, Coco Loco, San Blas, Shalpa:
Although El Salvador is renowned for its legendary right hand point breaks, there are also plenty of kilometers of beach breaks. These are our primary options on small swells and provide us fun barrels at mid to high tides, especially at early dawn and late evening glass-off.

THE EAST COAST

Las Flores:
Las Flores, more commonly referred to as "Punta Silla", is a fast, consistent, perfect, long right-hander. Out of all the breaks in El Salvador, Las Flores best exemplifies a Salvadorean dream set up. The waves here wrap around a rocky point full of palm trees and end on a black sand beach in a guarded bay. Better at low tide, this place is definitely one of the best spots in the country.

La Vaca:
La Vaca is another fast, right point break, overshadowed by its famous neighbor Las Flores. However, you can always appreciate this empty peeling rights from the lineup at Las Flores. We can guarantee that the paddle is worthwhile, especially at high tide when Las Flores gets a bit slow.

Punta Mango:
Punta Mango is a powerful, hollow barreling right sorrounded by pristine natural beauty. Tucked in the middle of the department of Usulutan, ex-guerilla territory, we recommend accessing this break by boat. Sets emerge out of the horizon and sometimes it feels like Indo. The ideal size to surf Punta Mango is head-high to a double overhead. Anything bigger, will demand commitment and balls. Despite the dangers, snag a clean, open barrel here and you'll be talking about it for years.

La Ventana:
La Ventana is a mellow right point break tucked in another stunning natural setting. Best at medium to high tides, it can get too shallow at low tides.

Lucky Man´s:
This spot is the last right point break in eastern El Salvador. Tucked in the majestic Gulf of Fonseca overlooking Honduras and Nicaragua, this rare wave can provide long and fun rides. Needs a big swell and lots of luck.

Secret Spots:
El Salvador has many more lonely and empty beach breaks, point breaks, and outer reefs just waiting to be discovered. Join us on our endless journey in search of the elusive perfect wave.
