Azul Surf Club El Salvador – Hotel & Packages

LiveTheLife — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 12:16:47 +0000

This hotel, located in the Wild East of El Salvador, is surrounded by lush tropical forests and plenty of wild life. It’s the perfect place to chill with your friends, have fun with the family or enjoy a romantic getaway.

They offer All-inclusive packages which include surf boat trips to the different consistent surf spots, with average swells at chest to head high range and larger swells of 8 to 15 ft coming in regularly. It is the perfect place for novices and pros alike, and you are guaranteed to have a great time.

On top of that, while enjoying the beautiful environment, the friendly people and great surf you are also giving back to the community. The goal of the hotel is to provide local children with better opportunities regarding education and medical care.

RATES:
7 days/6 nights all-inclusive with 4 boat trips
from $ 700 per person ( if you are 4 people ).

LOCATION

The Hotel is just two hours away from the San Salvador airport.

Minutes away from the small town of El Cuco, you will be sure to enjoy the local culture. This is a very safe fishing community, far away from the hazards of the city, with a small town and very friendly vibe. They encourage you to walk to the local bars to have a Pilser or take a bike ride and see what you discover.

THE SURF

LOS FLORES
Very consistent right point break. It is a sand point 7 minutes from the hotel that breaks mechanically with a hollow takeoff at low tide (softer at high tide) and very long rides up to 300m.
The wave has many personalities depending on the swell size and tide. On swells of 6-8ft (faces) or bigger and lower tides it is a serious wave for experienced surfers (it has been compared to Jeffreyâ€™s Bay and Bells), and the takeoff is critical as well as competitive, with surfers lining up and dropping in behind the rocks, and a fall here has consequences. On small to moderate swells (3-5 ft faces), or fuller tides, Las Flores is a classic sand point break, super fun on a shortboard, fish, or longboard, with long open faces and wackable wall sections comparable to a good day at Rincon or Noosa. The break can shut down almost entirely at high tide if there is not much swell, but on the biggest of swells the high tide is more manageable.

This point is great for all levels of surfers. At high tide it is a great long ride perfect for beginnersâ€¦

PUNTA MANGO
15 min. West of Las Flores. Access by boat only. Powerful right cobblestone point break w/200m rides when on, machine-like. It has a hollow take off with a serious barrel at size AND a hollow inside section. It works on a 3ft+ swell and all tides, but 4-7 ft SW is best. Closes out over 8 feet. Reef booties are recommended but not mandatory. The hollowest wave in the region, but also the most wind sensitive. For experienced surfers only even when small, due to currents and shallow inside rocks.

BEACH BREAK
There is a nice beach break right in front of the hotel. It breaks left and right depending on swell direction. Conditions are often great in the morning at this spot.

LA VACA
Right around the point of Las Flores, La Vaca works best at mid tide with a larger swell. Itâ€™s perfect for those that like to do airs, a little faster than Las Flores and a spot where you can surf alone with your friends.

EL TORO
Another great surf spot minutes away from the hotel, it also works best with larger swells and at mid tide.

LA VENTANA
A great beach break where they do most of the work with the kids. It is best at high tide and when the smaller swells come through. Fast and lots of fun.

BONGO
Closer to Punta Mango, it is accessible only by boat.Â It works well with a larger swell, but isnâ€™t as long of a ride as Punta Mango.

THE SOUL PROJECT

The idea for the surf hotel came about with the discovery of the overwhelming needs of the children in the area. When they bought a beach home in El Cuco they were quickly surrounded by many of the local children. Their goal was to find some kind of solution to provide local children with better opportunities. With this hotel they hope to raise enough money to improve their daily lives along with their futures.

They are currently working to improve local access to medical care as well as working to improve the local schools. If they can provide the children with vitamins and nutritious meals and improve their access to good education, they have a chance at insuring that the cycle of poverty does not continue. By working with these kids and their families they can be a community resource for change.

They hope to eventually provide a them with a medical center, communal land for farming as well as boats for shared fishing and shared profits. Tourism will bring much needed job opportunities while broadening these childrenâ€™s perspective of the world. With your help they can be a catalyst for change.
