Surf in Nicaragua
The Surf
Are you a surfer? If your answer is yes you will love Nicaragua! It’s literally a surfer’s paradise. Thanks to a huge lake in the northeast, the area of San Juan gets off-shore winds around 360 days a year. If you are not convinced yet picture consistent swell, warm water and tropical surroundings.
If you are not sure when the best condition are for you - check out our "When To Go" section (The Casa - What to do).
When staying in Casa Pocahontas simply grab your board (for rentals or lessons scroll down), put on some zinc and walk down to Playa Maderas. After about a five minutes walk you will find one of the best surf spots in Nicaragua, suitable for beginners as well as for pros.
