El Salvador Surf Spot Map

The country is full of right point breaks and a such is a natural footers dream surfing vacation. Crowds here are non-existent away from the main towns and cities and there is huge potential to descover spots that have never been surfed before. The smaller swell size here means that beginners can have a great trip.

The main swell season , March to October, coincides with the rainy season. The south swells during this time can get up to 10ft - the points really come alight! The rest of the year produces surfable waves so a trip here can be taken any time. In the off season the winds are almost constantly offshore, so things are not all bad. Another nice bonus is that the water temperature means that it is board shorts all year round - nice!

There is surf all along the coast but a good place to start is La Libertad with waves like The Pier, La Paz and Playa Conchalio (great for beginners). Don't forget to take your booties for getting in and out at the rocky points.

If you are serious about surfing and travel you will need a decent surfing guide book. Take a look at the Stormrider Guide Europe, Stormrider Guide North America and the World Stormrider Guide books. We cannot emphasise just how good these books are.
