Season

Summer 2022 sessions documented; no recurring best-month range established

Water

Pacific surf at El Tunco; the reported sessions were big and steep

Experience

Advanced surf-aware prone foiler in the reported conditions

Hazards

Big, steep surf and substantial crowd exposure in the reported sessions. Exact foil depth, rocks, current, takeoff and exit are not documented in the forum post.

Parking & access

The forum names El Tunco but gives no foil-specific lot, entry, paddle line or exit. Confirm current public access and select a bank locally.

“A Progression Project forum rider reports several prone-foil sessions at El Tunco during summer 2022. The rider found the named beach big, steep and crowded rather than identifying it as an easy foil break, so the record preserves the exact beach pin as experienced-rider evidence rather than a recommendation.”
