When to Visit
Nov-Apr
Dry season with the country's best surf swells at El Tunco, Ruta de las Flores coffee harvest in full swing, and volcano summits reliably clear.

Green season starts with afternoon storms, but Pacific surf swells building and El Tunco beach stays operationally consistent.
Aug-Oct
Wettest months with hurricane risk, but the country compensates with lush landscapes and lower rates. Coffee processing in San Salvador del Norte at peak.
Nov
Independence Day September aside, November brings the dry-season return and the surf scene at El Tunco lighting up for international visitors.
