Surfing In Nicaragua

With approximately 15 surfing spots in the Popoyo area, a permanent offshore wind, this region of Nicaragua is truly a paradise for surfing.

If you’re considering surfing in Nicaragua, you will find Waves for all levels and for all tastes:

  • Adrenaline and tubes on the beach breaks for expert surfers.
  • Point breaks and reef breaks for all levels.
  • Easy, mellow long waves for beginners, intermediates and children.

“You can surf a beach break with 4 to 5 ft barreling waves while the children enjoy mellow 100 meter rides…less than a 15 minute walk from the surf houses.” 

Before your arrival  at Salty Surf Popoyo I will send you a briefing as well as a map with all the different surf spots of the Popoyo area spots and practical information for these spots.

2008, construction of one of the first surfcamp in Nicaragua. We will be able to accompany you and give you the right information on the surf spots, the waves, the tides according to your desires and your level.
