Discover the best of El Salvador and surfworld classwaves |
The
Republic of El Salvador is located in Central America, bordered by
Guatemala to the West, Honduras to the North, Nicaragua to the East,
and the Pacific Ocean to the South. The topography consist in lush
mountain ranges, volcanoes, lakes, farmlands and a narrow coastal belt
featuring some of the most beautiful beaches and right hand point
breaks in the world.
The
thought of El Salvador for many people conjures thoughts of civil war,
political strife, poverty and danger; however much has changed over the
past 21 years, peace was signed in 1992, starting a new era of
democracy and stability. El Salvador now offers an entirely new
experience to the surf traveller.
El
Salvador has two seasons; the rainy season moths from May through
October see the largest and most consistent swells with average wave
height in the head high range, and larger 8' to 12' swells coming
through fairly consistently. The Dry season of November trough April
typically sees offshore winds, sunny skies, and consistent surf in the
waist to head high range. Less frequent than in the wet season large
swells do roll through this time of the year.
El
Salvador invites you to enjoy of its waves with water temperatures
around 80 to 85 degrees year round. Even though El Salvador is the
smallest country in Central America, with only 320 km. of coast line in
the Pacific Ocean, it offers an incredible number of right point
breaks. Most of them have cobblestone bottom like the World Class Punta
Roca, Punta El Sunzal or Punta Mango.
