Surf some of the longest right-hand waves in the world

SEASONS FOR OUR DESTINATIONS
When is the best time to go on a surf trip?
El Salvador is a year-round surf destination with waves for every level. The dry season (November to April) offers smaller, beginner-friendly waves and plenty of sunshine. The wet season (May to October) brings bigger swells and exciting conditions that advanced surfers will enjoy. No matter the season, our coaches ensure you’ll find the best spots to match your level.
SURFING FOR EVERYONE
From beginner to advanced, there's always a wave for you
No matter your current surf level, a wave (read: many waves!) will be waiting for you outside the camp. The ones who never stood on a surfboard before will have an absolute blast in the whitewater the beach breaks, while the more advanced riders will fall in love with the thrilling barrels and the 300-meter rides at La Bocana.
