THE SURF

El Salvador's 321 KM coastline has beach breaks, rivermouths, reefs and points.  But it is the cobblestone points that will hold your full attention as you surf alone at many of the country's best points.  

The coastline runs from East to West so most all of the surfing is during the South swell season.  This season begins at the end of February and generally lasts until November.  

It is normally very glassy or light offshore in the mornings.  By mid day the wind is a sideshore and by the afternoon it is usually onshore though still very surfable.  

Average waves will be in the 3-6' range, although there are many days of solid  6-10' surf.  A couple times per year it will reach 10-15' but rarely does it get any bigger.  

Most breaks are rights and the water temperature averages 80-85 degrees all year.

Punta Roca - El Salvador

The surf has been great for the 3 weeks that I've been down here. The smallest it has been is head high. The first swell at the end of May was DOH and then some. Kinda got my ass kicked!! Didn't expect for the wave to have that much water in it. Everyone at Punta Roca was great - Bob, Jimmy, Marta, Leyden & Emilio (Muro). Thanks again for everything.     Adios & Aloha, David

The trip was insane!

Waves were unreal.  We caught overhead, clean point break surf every day.  Surfed 2-3 sessions a day.  The food was unreal, the surf camp, restaurant and staff were all killer too.  We're super stoked!  The last day, Dave and I surfed El Cocal.  2'+ overhead and oil glass for 3 hours with only 3 other guys in the lineup - crazy!  Jimmy was awesome too.  Super cool guy, really nice and always willing to surf and take us wherever.  He took us out to dinner for pupusas with his family one night!  He rips too!  Thanks for everything you did in getting this put together. We'll definitely be booking with you again next year.  - Brad, FL

SURFED OUT? 

Fishing:  Deep sea fishing can be arranged upon arrival by numerous quality operators in the region.

Diving:  You must bring your own gear, but several of the offshore islands offer dives with incredible visibility and a large variety of marine life.  

Flying: If the surf goes flat, arrange a flight with Jimmy Rotherham.  Not only will he blow you away in the water, but Jimmy will fly you over the land and you'll get a feel for how amazing the landscape is in the tiny volcanic country.

Nature Walks:  It is a beautiful but rugged countryside, and getting around on foot can be difficult due to the volcanic rocks and thick vegetation.  But a good hike will provide you with some epic panoramic ocean views.
