Surf in Nicaragua: 3 Best Beach Breaks
3. Playa Remanso
Located in San Juan del Sur, Rivas, Nicaragua, Playa Remanso combines and incredible point-break with a perfect, forgiving beach-break. While the point only works in bigger swell, there’s a wave at the beach-break almost every day. It’s fast and at low tide, you might be able to sneak into a barrel or two.
The beach break can go for up to 100 meters in the right swell. San Juan del Sur enjoys offshore winds 300 days of the year, which is why this wave is so forgiving.
Playa Remanso can be easily accessed by car. There’s a taco restaurant and bar on the beach that has everything from margaritas to fruit smoothies.
2. Playa Maderas
Also located in San Juan del Sur, Playa Maderas is arguably the best all around surf spot in Nicaragua. There’s a few hostels right on the beach with lodgings for $10 per night. Like Playa Remanso, the swell is super consistent, as are offshore winds.
The beach-break at Playa Maderas offers both lefts and rights. It’s been called a point-break before because to the north, right rights break off of a rock shelf and to the south, the lefts trail passed a rock face at low tides. This all comes together to form long, fast lines.
1. The Boom
One of the lesser-known spots in Nicaragua, the Boom is a super heavy wave that offers some thick, screaming barrels. There are several breaks here, depending on where the sand is at particular times of the year.
While the waves at the Boom can produce some incredible rides, they can also dish out some intense punishment. Make sure you bring two boards for a trip here.
If there’s one thing that Nicaragua has plenty of, it’s beach breaks. Don’t let this list limit your travels. There’s a lot to see here and great surf in Nicaragua can be found everywhere you look.
