Punta Roca is El Salvador's headline surf break: a fast, powerful right-hand point that peels over rocks just west of La Libertad. Good surfers come here for long walls and speed; beginners should watch from shore or take lessons somewhere gentler first.
The wave is best known in the dry season and can get crowded when conditions line up. Reef shoes are useful, timing matters, and local etiquette matters more. If you are not surfing, the point is still worth a look for the spectacle of riders dropping into a wave that seems to run forever.
