NICARAGUA SURF LOCATION AND BREAKS!

Nicaragua Surfing at Los Cardones All surf spots are right in front of the lodge or within walking distance. Common denominators of our breaks are consistency, no crowds and offshore conditions almost year round.

Our resort has a maximum capacity of approx 15 guests and the remoteness of our location vis-a-vis the more developed surf industry in the San Juan del Sur area make day-trippers visits very unlikely keeping the crowd factor very low. Assuming all of them are surfers, our guests represent realistically 80-90% of the surf population in the area at any one time. With 5 breaks to choose from, chances of competition and tension on the line-up are pretty much not existent.

Our local breaks truly cater for surfers of all levels, from fast and barrelling left and right reef breaks, classic A-frames on a sand bottom and fun and gentle beach breaks for beginners and longboard lovers. The beaches are exposed to both SW and NW swells, making the surf very consistent all year:

Hemorroids: An island-like left point break. A fast and hollow wave for experts only. Breaks over a flat rock shelf.
Ranchos: Beginners will find a gentle sand bottom beach right in front of the lodge. Great for long boarding too. November to March, the smaller swells make it ideal for learning.
Chiggas: A right reef break that works well on south and west swells. Can get hollow on big sets.
Outer Chiggas: Breaks left and right over a rocky reef outside of chiggas.
North Beach: Nice A-frame peaks stretched along a white sand beach. Holds perfect shape overhead high.
