SURFING IN POPOYO / NICARAGUA

We found Popoyo in 2005 on accident during a surf trip through Central America.  We immediately felt in love with the country and the Popoyo area. As surfers we found a paradise, offshore winds every day, amazing beach breaks, perfect reef breaks, really long point breaks, friendly locals and even some secret spots.

The Popoyo area has some of the best surf spots in Nicaragua. Reef breaks, beach breaks, point breaks, outer reefs, each with waves for all levels of surfers from 3 to 75 years old.

The offshore wind all day, all year round is a unique phenomenon which allows you to surf all day from sunrise to sunset.

• Santana, a punchy beach break with plenty of peaks where you can work on your tube riding. ( 7 min walk by the beach). High tide spot.

• Playa Rosada, a left point break on the rocks, for expert surfers (the beach is amazing even if you don’t surf (15 min walk by the beach, north of Santana)

• Popoyo Reef, this famous A frame wave with waves all day (high tide/ low tide, small swells/ big swells) (20 min walk by the beach)

• Beginners Bay with 2 options, the left point break following the point or the “fatty wave” in the middle of the bay… a perfect spot for kids, beginners, and longboards…and even experts surfers during big south swells. (10 min walk by the beach)

You can reach all these spots walking on the beach…The area is small and there are plenty of other waves and surf spots to discover by car, motorbike or by boat.

With more than 15 years of surf experience in Nicaragua we’ll give you the good advice and tips you need about all the surf spots in the area and Nicaragua (tides, levels, how to go, when to go; we’ll send you a road book with all the information and map for the locations).

WORK FROM HOME IN NICARAGUA

Each house / studio has its own office with an excellent wifi connection (fast and stable).  In the event of power outages, we are equipped with backup batteries.

Everything is quickly accessible on foot, so your time is optimized!!!

For surfers, you are close enough to have a quick surf session before or after work or between calls.

For non-surfers, you can easily fit in a stroll on the beach, yoga,  time to chill in the hammocks, and enjoy the evening at a restaurant.

The choice is yours!
