:Punta Roca, El Sunzal" El Salvador Surfing

“PUNTA ROCA”

By far the best right hand point break in El Salvador, followed closely by Las Flores, Punta Mango and El Sunzal. Punta Roca, La Punta or the point has hollow tubing sections breaking onto shallow, black boulders. It needs strong South Southwest Hemi swells above 4 feet to break from the point, but it holds up to Double to Triple Over Head surf.  Length, perfection, consistancy are only a few of the adjectives you can entitle this break with rides of over 400 yards on a very good day. After a fairly negotiated take off set on your feet and get ready to glide and speed like never before.  Any board built for speed and maneuverability will suit perfect the speed of Punta Roca.

It gets crowded  from time to time with a growing population of locals, expats and travelers alike, but well worth the effort  it takes to get out there and snag a set wave you´ll be telling everybody for years. “Adventure Sports Tours” works to make your staying in La Libertad, El Salvador the most comfortable posible and access you to the surf in the most effortless possible way.

EL SUNZAL/ EL TUNCO

El Sunzal is another World class right hand point break, long and lined up, which seems to have waves every single day and handle any size of surf.  Classic rocky point with waves breaking deep in an open area creating more than one quality take off spots and 400 + yards rides on good conecting days. Sunzal the most Longboard friendly and less intense surf than Punta Roca or Punta Mango makes it very good for all levels of surfing, from beguineers to experts. Easy long paddle, because of the channel, gives you the time to apreciate this wave walling up for hundreds of yards and when riding your legs can get tired easily. Possibly the most popular spot after Punta Roca, with a wider variety of surfers, including: Women, Beginners, Experts and body boarders. A much slower wave than Punta Roca, a board with a little more volume is advisable if you are a shortboarder.  It can get crowded, especially on weekends an hollydays but, just like Punta Roca, it is a must surf if you are in La Libertad, El Salvador.
