Great video! Just subscribed. :) Does Zonte pick up more swell than k59? We're headed there next week and there is a few smaller days 2ft @ 13s and a few bigger days 3.5ft @ 15s. Trying to figure out which days to spend where. Where would you suggest going on the bigger days? k59 or Zonte? Thanks so much! :)
Bigger long period swells tend to start closing out El Zonte, or at least make it more sectiony and less user friendly. K59 is the opposite it likes the medium longer period and tends to clean up more. That being said waves will always be a little steeper @ El Zonte and better for Shortboarding.
Great video, I have plans to go here for 2 weeks in early August. However, I'm rethinking if it will be worth it based on the potential of too much swell? May just go to Cabo instead. How were the crowds in El Zonte during your sessions?
If I were you I would not go to El Zonte unless you plan on renting a car and traveling to nearby breaks like K59/El Sunzal/Pta Roca in August! El Zonte is really really fun but any kind of swell and it's just not as good as the other stuff around here. I think if I were to return to Zonte it would be during dry season when the SW swells are smaller and shorter period! F CABO! El Salvadore is amazing. Highly recommend El Sunzal and El Tunco...so many waves. I'm here now getting ready to make the next video in the series! Thanks for the comment! Pura Vida.
Thanks man, planning a trip and this is super helpful
