The West Coast

East Coast Waves: The Wild East

The Wild East area sees much less traffic than the La Libertad area and offers powerful right hand point breaks ideal for solid intermediate to expert surfers.  There are basically no shops or restaurants here except in the hotels so be sure and bring a book and a guitar or something.
Average wave heights are 5 to 10 feet from March to November.  Epic swells reach up to 15 feet.  The average crowd per point is 10 to 15 surfers. Our Wild East surf trips are in high demand and you should book well in advance for peak season trips (March-November). We recommend booking three to six months in advance if possible.

 Las Flores
Las Flores is a very consistent right point break that works best at low- to mid-tide. There's a sand and rock bottom that breaks mechanically and has been compared to El Capitan in California with long rides and a hollow outside section.
 
Punta Mango
Punto Mango is a p owerful, hollow right point breaking over cobblestone. There is an extremely hollow take-off with a serious barrel at size. Punto Mango is accessible only by boat; there are many crews lined-up on the beach that will take your group. Our all-inclusive El Salvador surf trip includes the boat transport so you can surf both Las Flores and Punta Mango each day.
 
La Vaca
La Vaca is a right point break with an inside reef exposed at low tide. It offers good unsurfed waves. There are many other secret and remote spots and miles of beach break.

El Toro
You'll be watching El Toro peel from Las Flores and wondering why nobody is surfing out there, and probably at some point in your session it will be too much to handle and you will start the paddle, the long paddle.. and it will be worth it.
