What are the best surf spots in El Salvador?

El Salvador is packed with world-class surf breaks along its Pacific coast. Punta Roca in La Libertad is the country's most famous wave ??? a long, fast right-hand point break that draws intermediate to advanced surfers. El Tunco and El Sunzal are popular beach towns with consistent waves for all levels. Further east, Las Flores and Punta Mango offer powerful reef breaks in a more remote setting. The K59 area (Km 59 on the coastal highway) is known for uncrowded beach breaks perfect for beginners and intermediates. El Zonte has become a surfer-friendly community with mellow waves and great vibes.
