Description

El Zonte Rivermouth - El Zonte, El Salvador El Zonte Rivermouth features a shifty rivermouth wave that breaks both right and left over a boulder bottom. This powerful and hollow wave can handle sizes from 1 to 2 meters (3 to 6+ feet), particularly at mid to high tide. It offers a less crowded alternative to the nearby point break, attracting surfers who prefer challenging conditions. Located in the laid-back town of El Zonte, this surf spot is easily accessible, requiring only a short paddle from the main point. The atmosphere is relaxed, with a mix of local and visiting surfers enjoying the waves. While the crowd is generally light during the week, weekends can see more surfers.
