NICARAGUA SURF SPOTS
Nicaragua is home to the most consistent quality surf on the planet. We have been surfing, exploring, and reporting on surf in Nicaragua since 2005. Check out some of the more consistent and known breaks here.
Dial the right day at one of the country’s many san bottom beach breaks and dream thin lipped barrels are plentiful.
Most of the year Nicaragua serves up friendly size and wind conditions ideal for high performance and maximum fun.
