About Punta Roca
Punta Roca is a point on the Pacific coast of El Salvador, beside the port town of La Libertad, south of the capital San Salvador. The wave wraps around a rocky point and runs to the right as a surfer rides it towards the shore, and it is often described as long, fast and powerful, which has made it the best-known wave in the country. The point is rocky. The area has become the centre of surfing in El Salvador, with other well-known spots further along the coast, and it has hosted international contests. The largest swells usually arrive in the southern winter, typically from around April to October, when they travel up from the South Pacific. The rocks and the power of the wave lead many to regard it as a spot for experienced surfers.
