Punta Roca Surf Camp
Punta Roca Surf Camp in La Libertad, El Salvador - Overview
Our Surf Camp in La Libertad is a brand new surf experience. The camp has been placed in one of the best locations available, right in front of Playa La Paz and just minutes walk from “Punta Roca”. Punta Roca is undoubtedly one of the best righthand point breaks in the world being compared to waves like J-Bay and Honolua Bay. That being said, there are more world class righthand points within a short distance from La Libertad than anywhere. For more information about surf trips to Punta Roca and La Libertad, El Salvador, please contact us. All prices are detailed below.
The Surfing
La Libertad encompasses about a dozen different high quality breaks beginning at the coastal town of La Libertad (only half an hour from the airport).
Punta Roca: One of the gems of El Salvador, Punta Roca (aka "La Punta," or, to traveling Americans, "The Point") is a world-class wave that draws comparisons to J-Bay, Noosa, and other standout right-hand, rock-bottom pointbreaks. The wave runs for more than a quarter-mile at an even pace with several barrel sections on offer. One quality wave at The Point, and your trip just paid for itself.
La Paz: La Paz is the inside section of Punta Roca, La Libertad's big, rocky right point. While farther up The Point the wave is more critical and prone to shallow spots and barrel sections, La Paz is the easier, softer side of the wave and tends to draw surfers not quite ready for the more serious waves a couple hundred yards north. Though it's subdued, it's still an excellent wave and a great place to surf if you aren't into a long march or a road trip.
Conchalio: Playa Conchalio is a mile-long stretch of beachbreaks just west of Punta Roca that hosts a speedy, thumping, barreling wave that shines during the dry season, when offshore winds really open the barrels up and give you hope of emerging unscathed. Conchalio is often surfed when it's flat everywhere else, because even at two feet or less it's still completely surfable.
Sunzal: Extremely consistent quasi-world class rock-bottom right point. Tends to be a favorite of San Salvadoran weekend warriors, so with a bit of tact and skill you can have your pick of waves even when it's crowded. On a solid swell it can hold up to 10 feet plus, peeling evenly along the rocks.
Zonte: This is a right hand point break with beautiful settings of the headlands, this is one of the best spots because of it breaks well in any swell direction, it’s divided in 2 sections the point that is lined up take off, and next right Zonte point is “The Beachbreak” it’s not exactly a beachbreak but break like one because the mixed sandy and rocky bottom permit that wave break faster than a normal pointbreak.
KM 59: Right point. It is in a gated community of beach houses but the break is a rock bottom that has good hollow waves. Best at mid-incoming tide.
Mizata: Right and left point break which can break very good on 3-5ft swells. This is another of the desolated surf spots. This break offer right and left waves. This spot consist in two sections which are a right hand pointbreak and A frame beachbreak.
Spot 1: This spot consist in three types of waves, a left hand pointbreak, a righthand pointbreak and a beachbreak, the waves in this spot break good on 3-7ft swell, best low to mid tide.
Spot 2: This spot offers both right and lefts there are two pointbreaks works good in a 4-6 swell, the right in this spot is good for beginners, the left is more critical and faster than the right, this left is for recommended for advanced surfers.
Spot 3: This spots offers a long right hand line up this is one of the most desolated spots in La Libertad area. This wave breaks good in a 3-7 ft swell, best low to mid tide.
Spot 4: This is an easy right hand break with rocky bottom that is very consistent and there is a hollow left at that same point. On the other side of the break there is a nice sand bottom left but is hard to find it breaking.
Spot 5: This is a rivermouth that works good on 4-6ft swell, best mid to high tide.
