Punta Roca is El Sal's world-class pointbreak racing over shallow, black boulders in the town of La Libertad. Can get leg-achingly long on a medium S swell, with hollow, tubing sections popping up regularly. It's a long paddle from in front of Bob Rotherham's restaurant, but it by-passes the armed robbers who ambush surfers for their boards on the long walk out the point. It needs to be at least 3ft (1m) to break off the rocks, but it holds surf of up to 12ft (4m).

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
