Costa del Balsamo Surf Spots

The inside section of the Punta Roca point, a softer right that peels over cobble and sand for the overflow crowd.

West-facing reef-and-sand peaks near Acajutla that only wake up on solid SW-W swells when the south coast goes flat.

Left-hand reef peak beside La Libertad's fishing pier, beginner-friendly and breaking when the points out of town are flat.

Fickle right point roughly 500m west of K59, shiftier and less lined-up with a long paddle from the beach.

Remote Costa del Balsamo rivermouth that fires long, snappy rights and short hollow lefts off a boulder point.

World-class right-hand point that walls up and barrels down shallow black boulders for up to 500 metres off La Libertad.
