Km 59

Km 59 is El Salvador's quality point break—a right-hander named for its marker on the coastal highway that delivers long, workable walls when solid south swells arrive. The wave is a step up from the mellower options nearby, requiring more commitment but rewarding with walls that allow real performance surfing. The local crew has earned respect in these waters, and visitors who approach with appropriate etiquette will find warm welcomes and lineup tips. The rocky point demands awareness, but for intermediate-plus surfers, Km 59 offers one of the region's best point break experiences.
