ABOUT THE SURF CAMP

LOCATION AND SURF CONDITIONS

After surfing at home for decades, I can assure you that El Salvador is a consistent, top quality, and world class surfing destination.

Our Southern Hemi swell window is between march and october, 8 months. They are composed of 2 months of dry season and 6 months of rainy season. This means that wind and storm variables play a fundamental role in the surfing conditions, so local knowledge is a big asset in El Salvador.

Eco Surf Trips are owned, designed and operated by local surfers. We have decades of surfing experience in El Salvador, in both La Libertad and the Wild East.

The house recommends our signature surf trip: Eco La Libertad and Wild East Premium Package. No surf trip to El Salvador is complete if you don’t experience the power of La Libertad and the natural beauty of the Wild East.

Nowadays, we have more spots to surf in but we also have more visitors. Take your surf trip to the next level, take advantage of our local knowledge and surf till you drop.

Welcome to El Salvador, the land of rights and one left…

Waves for every skill level, from beginner to advanced. Also ocean view and laid back restaurants and bars offer a unique nightlife in Central America where beautiful sunsets fusion into a magical combination.

All breaks perform on different tide stages and sizes, so wind direction is the primary determination factor on sessions

El Salvador Surf Dry Season:

The dry season starts on November and lasts until April. Conditions are typically offshore winds, sunny skies and small surf. Wave sizes average chest to head high during the dry season, but ocassional big swells roll in with excellent conditions

El Salvador Surf Wet Season:

The rainy season starts on May and lasts until October. During the wet season, consistent storms in Antartica and off the coast of New Zealand provide large swells to El Salvador´s coastline.

Conditions are usually glassy mornings and onshore winds beginning in the late morning.

SURROUNDINGS / REGION

Characterization of surroundings/region

Our country is internationally remembered for it long lasting civil war and considered by many a “dangerous place to go”. El Salvador has been at peace and democracy since 1992 and has slowly become a great destination ever since.

Its main attractions are: surfing, cloud forests, volcanoes, eco-tourism and its people.

It is difficult to understand El Salvador before you go there. All you ever see on the international news is: a long war, gangs, violence, etc. But once your there, you get to see the real El Salvador, the broad green valleys, the black-sand beaches, the majestic volcanoes and its people.

Loved the place it was super clean and everyone was super helpful!
Surfing:
Do yourself a favor and book a shuttle too! Our flights were delayed by five hours! When we got there we were sure no one would be there and we would have to find our way to the hotel but when we landed someone was still waiting for us!

This reviewer told us:
Roberto was super responsive when arranging the accommodation before our trip. If you contact them directly you can arrange airport transfer. When we got through immigration and customs, there was someone waiting for us as planned in a comfortable air con hilux truck. The place is very lush and the rooms are clean and comfortable.
Surfing:
We didn't bring boards, but they are obviously prepared to take you and your boards back to the hotel. We got in early and they were happy to let us hang out and then store our bags until the room was ready. The place is very lush and the rooms are clean and comfortable.
Other (e.g. surroundings, nightlife etc.):
It's in town but surprisingly feels tranquil and far enough from the hustle and bustle. It is super safe and there was someone on the ground at all times plus security cameras. The town itself is safe and there is a checkpoint every car has to go through to enter el tunco. Traveling with friends or solo, this place is perfect!!"
