ICARAGUA SURF BREAKS 

Nicaragua’s Southern coast has yet to receive an acclaimed surfing award. The surfers that venture to this area are thankful that the amazing surf, waves and frequent swells have not gained international recognition and are not plastered on the news, in papers or on the web. This means, they get them all for themselves, hence, you are often the only surfer riding the waves. There are breaks for the professionals, the medium and the beginners. Please ask at least 24 hours in advance to book a morning, full day or afternoon tour (depending on the tides).

Below is of the best breaks and locations to surf in the southern part of Nicaragua. Take a look and let and call an agent at Tico Travel  at 1-800-493-8426 and let them know which ones you want to surf.
