# Surf guide

El Palmarcito and nearby La Libertad breaks.

## Stay out of the noise. Paddle out when it is good.

Eyebrow: Surf and the coast

Palmarcito as a quieter base for El Sunzal, El Zonte, Punta Roca, La Bocana, K59 and K61.

## Introduction

> Surf groups can stay close to the breaks without making the whole trip about the lineup.

Palmarcito gives early paddlers a local option and gives everyone else a pool, a garden and a coast to explore.

## Six breaks in the conversation

El Sunzal: A long right-hand point break and one of the best-known stops on the coast.

El Zonte: A lively surf town with a broad community around the water.

Punta Roca: A powerful point break near the La Libertad side of the coast.

La Bocana: A river-mouth wave and another option on the Surf City route.

K59: A rocky right point on the La Libertad coast. South Pacific swells bring fast rights, long lines, barrel sections and steep walls. Not a beginner wave.

K61: Just west of K59 and generally less crowded, with two sections over a rocky bottom: a faster, steeper outer wave for intermediate and advanced surfers, and a mellower inside section.

## There is more than one way to spend the day

For surfers: Keep the board close and check the local conditions first.

For kids: Pool time, gardens and a short walk to the coast.

For non-surfers: Slow mornings, long lunches and room to read.

For everyone: Meet back around the pool when the day cools off.
