El Espino surf guide

El Espino is a laid-back surf spot located along a 12km (7mi) long beach, surrounded by beautiful mangroves and the scenic backdrop of Chaparastique volcano. The area is accessible by road, making it easy for surfers to swing by for a session. The vibe here is typically relaxed, and you can expect to find it consistent with usually fewer crowds compared to more popular spots.

The waves at El Espino are mainly suited for beginners, but there can be some good days for more experienced surfers as well. The optimal swell direction comes from the Southwest, though it can also catch swells from the Southeast. It handles swell sizes starting from about 2ft (0.6m), and the waves break over sand. You'll find both left and right waves, making it a nice spot for various approaches. For the best experience, keep an eye out for winds coming from the North and try to surf during low to mid or even high tide for the best results.

Overall, El Espino is a good spot for those looking to improve their surfing skills in a friendly environment. The beach setup allows for some fun rides, especially when the sandbanks are in the right position, so itโ€™s worth checking the conditions before heading out.
