Nicaragua Surf Reports & Cams

Welcome to Surfline’s Nicaragua Surf Reports and Surf Cams — the most comprehensive Nicaragua surf reports and surf cams site on the Internet.

One of the last frontiers in Central American surf exploration, Nicaragua is widely regarded for its offshore winds and perfectly groomed beach breaks, but it’s also still holding plenty of surprises for the surf traveler willing to get lost down a dirt road. One of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere, Nicaragua suffered through a devastating civil war during the 1980s. Today the country is on the rebound with tourism helping bring much-needed resources and money into the country. One of the premier surfing areas is focused around Playa Colorado. Thanks to Lake Nicaragua, the wind in this area blow predominantly offshore year-round. Combined with good exposure to south swells and warm water, it’s no wonder why it’s become such a favorite surf zone. Nearby waves include Panga Drops, Popoyo and Rancho Santa. To the south is San Juan Del Sur, which is equally beautiful, but doesn’t get quite the size surf as the more central and northern beaches in Nicaragua. Like so many of Central America’s favorite surfing areas, surfing around Nicaragua means dialing in the country’s ever-changing coastal conditions. Swell direction, swell interval, wind speed and direction, tide, and all of the other ocean variables are important to stay up to date on as they’ll dictate what your next move around Nicaragua is.
