 Additional Information

Once you get there, park along the beach at one of the cabanitas. This costs a few pesos (10.000 or so?) but your stuff will be secure, and you'll have a place in the shade. Don't try and surf here during "high tide". This is at the new and full moon periods. At this time the water levels go up, and the current can be dangerous, as well as parking disappears.

Atmosphere

This is a much softer wave the El Bolsillo, but there's also no one on it. During the some trade wind swell, Salgar is always much cleaner than it's more popular neighbor to the west. Expect longboardable waves here +250 days out of the year.

General

It's not the best wave, but it sure beats banging boards with everyone and their mom over at El Bolsillo. The beach (and inside) can get crowded with beach-goers on the weekends and holidays.
