Surf City

Surfing in El Salvador

Warm water all year, long right-handers over rock and a coastline you can cover in a few hours.

Surfing in El Salvador

The La Libertad coast concentrates some of Central America’s most consistent point breaks, about 40 minutes from the airport. Further east, Las Flores and Punta Mango offer long rights with fewer people.

We arrange lessons, guides and transport with board racks, and plan your sessions around Shabbat.

Surf and Shabbat, no conflict

On Friday we schedule an early session so you have time to prepare. There are no lessons or transfers on Shabbat, and your meals arrive at the hotel on Friday.

Before you paddle out

  • Many breaks have rock bottoms: booties help.
  • Use water-resistant sunscreen and a rash guard.
  • Mornings usually bring offshore winds and cleaner surf.
  • First time? Start at El Tunco or El Sunzal.
