December?
I know December isnt the best time for waves but does this mean it is going to be flat or just not as big as it is other times of the year?
I know Caribean Costa Rica/Panama have waves then so i wonder if its worth hitting El Salvador in december at all.

Cheers for any advice

1st of Trip
Got off the plane at 5:20 am and in the water 2 hours later to some great surf. A great way to start off the trip and there were 10-15 guys out, but Sunzal holds a crowd really well with lots of peaks and even a little left.
