Punta Mango is one of the most renowned waves in El Salvador, located in the Usulután department. It is a right point break with a rocky bottom: the southwest swell wraps around the point, and the wave runs long, with the inside section tubing when the ocean is solid.

Brief History
The isolation of Punta Mango is what kept it untouched. Without access via paved roads, for decades it was a wave reserved for those who took the effort to arrive by boat from El Cuco or to venture down dirt paths. This difficulty made it one of the least crowded rights in Central America despite its quality, and it gained a status of pilgrimage among surfers.
