Really nice break. great in the mornings but can have quite a fierce rip pulling you away from the break itself. Annoying. great spot but watch out for local drunks/crackheads hastling you on a sunday morning still raging from the previous nights action.

  • all those pics suck this is the real sunzal... light offshore winds, solid 10+ waves, epic lines going off perfectly through the 300-400 yards of surf... Surfers Dream
  • perfec 4-5 foot waves getting hit with strong offshore winds, simply... perfection.
  • Fishman, El Salvador March 06 Photo R Marish
  • Sunzal break from the casa de mar restaurant terrace. Simply beautiful break ...
  • Small day (4-7ft) for the spot. El Sunzal is the most accessible spot on the coast and the most reliable break. It can hold any size and is usually bigger than anything around. The wave is a little slow, without a lip but gives you a 20s ride at least ! Located at K43 on the CA-2 highway. Warm water and no booties required.
