The place is not dangerous at all, unless you dont walk around there alone at night to buy weed, locals were really nice if you go during the week you ll get enough waves.

punta roca don't go there
I was in el salvador for a week last summer. Surfed punta roca twice. The first session we surfed the inside point called La Paz by the town beach. It was just me and my friend and two local guys. They vibed us a little but were overall pretty cool. The second session we surfed the main point. We were first chased off the rocks by the local crack heads and then I was punched by one of the local gangster types in the water for no apparent reason. That same day a guy from Brazil broke his board and the little crack gang took his nose and made the guy give them the other half of his board. Also an oblivious japanese girl got her camera equipment stolen. I don't recommend El Salvador. If you go don't waist your time in La Libertad. Spend your money in areas that do a better job making their town or village hospitible. From the second we entered La Libertad we were accosted by crack heads asking for money and an overall bad vibe. I recommend staying north of La Libertad. The hotel Roca Sunzal is a really nice place with a good vibe and a cool little village. There is a right point there called Sunzal that it pretty fun and seems to be able to hold a sizable swell. I also recommend El Zonte. It is more of a little cove with a right that breaks off the little point. It is a fun wave at about head high to a little over but the cove seems to be to small to hold anything larger and turns into a washing machine with back wash etc when it is big. The vibe here is good and if you are in el salvador i recommend checking the waves here.
