Dive into the ultimate surfing experience: Join the Puro Surf Camp. Our 6-day immersive surf coaching program caters to surfers of all levels.
Led by experienced coaches, you’ll follow The Surf Sequence focusing on technique, mindset, and ocean awareness.
With structured teaching and individualized guidance, our goal is to maximize your potential and enhance your enjoyment of surfing, a lifestyle we’re passionate about. Join us to improve your skills, connect with the ocean, and create lasting memories.
Our program is tailored to your unique surfing level, providing new challenges and personalized guidance at every stage.
We focus on equipping you with the right tools and adapting concepts to ensure steady and effective progression
from one level to the next.
Participants in the beginner program will experience their introduction to surfing, learning a sequence of steps to master the fundamentals right from the start of their journey. Beginner surfers are usually not familiar with the ocean and may have gone out with a surfboard in the ocean 0 to 10 times at most. Our program ensures that each participant receives personalized instruction and support, allowing them to build confidence and skills in a safe and encouraging environment.
Once a surfer is past the beginner stage of surfing and starts paddling out to catch unbroken waves by himself, they are what could be called “novice” surfers. The length of the ride is the most important aspect of a good ride for novice surfers. They don’t do maneuvers yet. In the novice program, the novice surfer will learn a sequence to go out surfing and have fun within the surf sequence methodology.
Foundation surfers position themselves on the peak more accurately, take off with increased confidence, and perform top-to-bottom maneuvers as they surf down the line. They can generate speed at take-off and consistently complete their waves. Mastering top-to-bottom moves is a key aspect of their performance. In the foundation camp, the goal is for students to learn effectively and train following a structured methodology so they can continue their training independently.
Our surfcamp program was carefully designed to be all inclusive.
Here are the core elements that you can expect to experience everyday.
The first thing you will do every day is meet with your coach to discuss a bit of theory on land before entering the water. You will warm up and talk about the objectives and goals for the day. With your coach, you will engage in psychological work such as visualization, focus, relaxation, and motivation.
Time to hit the water with your coach! After analyzing the ocean and conditions, you’ll enter the water where your coach will provide tips and guidance. He will help you position yourself to catch the best waves and offer on-the-spot technique advice. One of our filmmakers will capture the entire session.
After a brief break post-surf, you’ll meet again with your coach to review videos of the session. These videos will be emailed to you as a keepsake of your progress. Your coach will analyze each wave in detail, assessing your posture, positioning, speed, and wave selection, identifying what’s working well and what needs improvement.
After the video analysis, your coach will guide you through drills on land. These sessions may take place in the lap pool, gym, or on the skateboard in the concrete wave. The purpose of these drills is to help you grasp the fundamentals and refine techniques, creating muscle memory so you can apply them effectively when you return to the water.
Every afternoon, you can enjoy a complimentary activity: Yoga to stretch your sore muscles, U.Natural to improve mobility, the ice bath experience to aid muscle recovery, a BJJ or a self defense class, and a waterfall tour to explore the beauty of El Salvador. The surf camp package also includes one relaxing massage per week.
You have the opportunity to choose a surfboard with your coach from our extensive variety. Each day of coaching, you can take the board your coach assigned to you and enjoy additional solo surf sessions if you want to hit the water more than once a day. Alternatively, you are welcome to bring your own surfboard and use it throughout the surfcamp.
By joining the surf camp week, you have several accommodation options. You can enjoy a private room to yourself, share a private room with a friend or family member, or share a room with others in our 6-bed dormitory. Additionally, you have the option to participate in the surf camp week without staying at the hotel.
During your stay at Puro Surf, you can enjoy one breakfast per day from our house menu, included in your package. For those who prefer a hassle-free dining experience, we also offer a meal plan at an additional cost, ensuring you don’t have to worry about food options during your stay.
We provide airport pick-up and drop-off services, included in the surfcamp package, for your convenience. During the surfcamp, depending on the day’s conditions, you may visit various surf spots near the hotel. You and your group will travel by car with your coach to the designated surf spot. Our driver will stay with the car throughout the entire surf session, allowing you to safely leave your belongings with him.

Puro Surf Hotel + Academy is located in El Zonte a quiet town of La Libertad department in El Salvador and offers convenient and direct access to the beach. You can enjoy the beautiful Pacific Ocean waves just steps away from your room. We are located about 1h (50km) from the only international airport of the country: the San Salvador airport. Our resort offers airport pick-up services for your convenience.
El Salvador enjoys a tropical climate year-round. Expect warm temperatures. There are two main seasons: the dry season (Nov-April) and the rainy season (May-Oct). During the dry season, El Salvador enjoys pleasant weather with lower rainfall and more sunshine. Coastal regions are particularly nice during this time. The hottest period is from March to May, with temperatures reaching as high as 35/36 °C (95/99 °F). On the other hand, the rainy season brings increased rainfall and cloud cover throughout the country. Night storms are common. Despite the rain, temperatures remain relatively high, with nighttime lows only dropping a few degrees.
Summer Season (End-October to April): El Salvador experiences smaller swells, with average wave sizes of 2-3 ft (measured from the back). Despite the smaller size, the ocean here is powerful, making it a fun and exciting time for surfing.
Winter Season (May to End-October): This time of year features big and stronger swells, with average wave sizes of 4-6 ft. While advanced surfers seek the higher-performance waves, there are also smaller swells between the bigger ones. This means that, despite the more powerful waves, El Salvador remains surfable year-round.
For a comfortable and enjoyable trip, consider packing essentials such as swimwear, sunscreen, shoes, a hat, and lightweight clothing. Don’t forget your surf gear if you have it. Additionally, it’s advisable to bring insect repellent.
At Puro Surf El Salvador, we offer a range of activities to complement your surfing experience. Enjoy yoga sessions, explore nearby attractions, relax by the pool, or indulge in delicious local cuisine at our onsite restaurant. Our team can also arrange excursions to enhance your stay.
At Puro Surf, your comfort and security are our top priorities. Our location is known for its safety, and we have stringent measures in place to ensure the well-being of all our guests. The hotel has a camera surveillance system, and we have 24/7 security personnel on duty. If you have any questions or concerns before your arrival or during your stay, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We’re here to make your experience as enjoyable and worry-free as possible.
