World Class Waves in El Salvador<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

The ultimate waves in El Salvador are Las Flores and Punta Mango in the east and Punta Roca in the west.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the east, five minutes west by car from the fishing village of El Cuco, you will find Playa Las Flores, the gorgeous sandy beach with a very long, consistent right point break.<\/span><\/p>\n

Punta Mango is 15 minutes west of Las Flores, only accessible by boat or a 4WD vehicle; and don\u2019t get your hopes up, there are no mangoes in sight\u2014it was named this because of the nearby beach called Playa Mango.<\/span><\/p>\n

Las Flores<\/span><\/h4>\n

The best time of year for surfing Las Flores with consistent clean waves (rideable swell with light \/ offshore winds) is during Winter – from May to October.<\/span><\/p>\n

Very consistent right point break. It is a sand point directly in front of the hotel that breaks mechanically with a hollow takeoff at low tide (softer at high tide) and very long rides up to 300m – it has been compared to Jeffrey\u2019s Bay and Bells.<\/span><\/p>\n

On small to moderate swells (3-5 ft faces), or fuller tides, Las Flores is a classic sand point break, super fun on a shortboard, fish, or longboard, with long open faces and wackable wall sections comparable to a good day at Rincon or Noosa. The break can shut down almost entirely at high tide if there is not much swell, but on the biggest of swells the high tide is more manageable.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

El Sunzal & El Tunco<\/span><\/h4>\n

It’s a fairly long wave, a small, right-facing Chicama. Accessing the peak is quite easy, as a waveless channel forms next to the break.<\/span><\/p>\n

Playa El Tunco owes its name to a large, partially submerged black rock resembling an upside-down pig. The rocks cover the beach, shifting with the tides. During the dry season, the sand creates a beautiful black sand beach.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
