🪸Sharp reef🦔Urchins👥Crowded👊Localism

Punta Roca is El Salvador's world-class gem—a long, peeling right-hand point break in La Libertad that has hosted WSL events and produced some of Central America's best surfers. The wave wraps around the rocky point, offering multiple sections and 200+ meter rides on the right swell. The local surf culture is strong and passionate, demanding respect in the lineup. SW swells pulse in consistently from March-October, making this one of Central America's most reliable destinations.
