The End of the Rainy Season: Why Now Is the Perfect Time to Surf in Nicaragua

December 30, 2024

One of the silver linings of this year’s heavy rainfall is the effect it has had on our coastal areas. Particularly at Puerto Sandino, a river mouth that has received significant sand accumulation, we anticipate a stellar surf season ahead. The abundant sand is likely to create excellent sandbanks, setting the stage for ideal wave conditions next year.

This year, the surf at Puerto Sandino was promising early on, but the heavy rains disrupted the sandbanks, impacting the wave breaks. However, as we transition into the dry season, we expect those banks to stabilize and provide exciting surf opportunities.

While the rainy season may be winding down, we want to highlight that November, December, and January remain fantastic months for surfing in Nicaragua. Although these months fall outside of the main surf season, they typically offer clean, organized swells and some of the best waves of the year.

For beginners, this period is especially advantageous. With fewer surfers in the water and a lower likelihood of big swells, conditions are perfect for those looking to learn and improve. From now until March, the waves are accessible for all skill levels, allowing beginner / intermediate surfers to practice in a supportive environment.

Nicaragua stands out as a prime surf destination due to its consistent wave patterns and warm waters. The unique geography of our coastline means that there are waves suitable for everyone, from beginner surfers to experienced surfers. With fewer crowds during these months, you’ll have ample opportunity to ride waves without the hustle and bustle of peak season.

Whether you’re planning to learn to surf or looking to catch some memorable waves, now is a great time to visit. 

Our hotel offers a welcoming atmosphere, expert surf lessons, and easy access to the best surf spots.

Don’t miss out on the incredible surfing opportunities that Nicaragua has to offer this season. 

Book your stay with us and get ready for an unforgettable surfing trip experience. 

With clean waves, friendly locals, and beautiful scenery, Nicaragua is the perfect destination for your next surf adventure!
