Nicaragua offers consistent waves, warm water, and uncrowded lineups, making it ideal for all levels, from total beginners to advanced surfers.

This coastline is known for:

• Reliable swell almost year-round

• Offshore winds (hello clean conditions)

• Empty peaks compared to more crowded destinations

Is Nicaragua good for beginner surfers?

Yes, Nicaragua is a great place to learn how to surf, with soft beach breaks and safe, beginner-friendly conditions.

Our go-to beginner spots include:

• Nahualapa

• Los Clavos beach break

• Aposentillo

The first two are within walking distance from camp, so you can roll out of bed and into the ocean. Aposentillo is about a 15–20-minute drive and is perfect for progression.

Where do advanced surfers surf in Nicaragua?

Advanced surfers get access to more powerful and performance-focused waves nearby. One of our main advanced spots is Coco Loco, around 15–20 minutes from camp.

Do I need a wetsuit in Nicaragua?

No wetsuit needed. The water is warm all year round. Instead, we recommend using a rashguard for sun protection.

Is surf equipment included at the camp?

Yes, surfboards are included if you book surf lessons.

We’ve got a full quiver available, including:

• Soft tops for beginners

• Hardboards for intermediate to advanced surfers

• Sizes ranging from 6’0 to 7’6

If you’re joining surf guiding only:

• Equipment is not included

• You can bring your own board or rent one at camp
