La Bocana surf guide

La Bocana is located at the southern end of the little village of El Tunco in El Salvador. It's known for being the only real lefthander in the Libertad area, which is usually packed with right points. As a rivermouth break, La Bocana draws in waves from the SSW and SW, making it a swell magnet that often has something rideable, especially when conditions are right. The spot can have local vibes that may be intense when the surf starts working, so be prepared to show respect around here.

This left needs some decent size to really shine, usually handling swells from 3 feet to over 7 feet (about 1 to 2.1 meters). The best waves here come with mid to high tides, and you’ll find the ideal wind blowing from the northeast. The break features long, open-faced lefts and some shorter, walled-up rights, making it perfect for shortboards or fish. Keep in mind that after heavy rains, the river can shift the sand and stones, changing the breaks a bit. Generally, the left in front of the river offers steep drops and some fun barrel sections, but it can get tricky if you're not careful, particularly with the shallow rocks on the right. It’s a great wave for those who are more on the expert side of surfing.

Accessing La Bocana is pretty straightforward, with a bus from La Libertad taking about half an hour for less than a dollar. The crowd can definitely be an issue when conditions are firing, so timing your sessions is key. The spot relies heavily on the seasonal swells, with late fall through winter often bringing the most consistent surf. Remember that the environment can change depending on rainfall, which affects how the waves break.
