Spot guide
El Zonte is an S-facing point break in La Libertad coast, El Salvador. It picks up swell from SE to W, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 37% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the N: light winds or N breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while S onshores chop it up.
