Facts Around the World
EL SALVADOR
El Salvador is one of the most popular surfing destinations in the world hosting tons of surf competitions yearly. The country is full of right point breaks and a such is a natural footers dream surfing vacation. Surf can be found all along the Pacific coastline, where more than 10 world class point breaks can be found. There are spots that can hold the biggest swells the Pacific has on offer.
Crowds here are non-existent away from the main towns and cities and there is huge potential to discover 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 offseason 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 short all year round – nice!
The surf is at its largest during the wet season which spans from May to October. The dry season has smaller but more consistent offshore conditions.
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).
