Costa del Sol

Costa del Sol is a beach break located on El Salvador's Pacific coast, facing west toward open ocean. The spot features a sandy beach backed by dense tropical forest and residential development. This is primarily a beginner-friendly location, though conditions are marginal for kitesurfing. Average wave heights of 0.89m provide minimal swell, suitable only for light-wind progression sessions. The spot has extremely low wind reliability at 0.0%, making consistent sessions difficult to predict. Best conditions occur with northerly winds (0°) which blow side-shore parallel to the coast. Water temperature averaging 28.4°C is warm year-round. The residential setting limits access points and maneuvering space. Forest vegetation inland may create wind shadows and turbulent conditions near shore. This spot is best suited for beginners practicing in light winds, though the combination of low swell and unreliable wind means sessions may be infrequent. Local coordination for beach access is essential given the developed shoreline.
