Las Flores
Las Flores is the eastern El Salvador classic - a long right-hand sand point near El Cuco that can serve up workable walls for intermediates or heavier, faster sections when larger S-SW swells arrive. North wind is the clean setup, and the wave is less tide-sensitive than many rocky points, though low tide adds consequence around the takeoff. It is one of the highest-impact missing El Salvador entries because it anchors the Wild East surf zone and is often paired with nearby Punta Mango.
