General
This was one of the best uncrowded spots I have surfed. The waves were perfect every day with offshore winds that originated from Lake Nicaraga. Driving from Managua to the surf was easy on newly paved roads. I recommend the short stop at the active volcan Masaya. No hassles and the locals are more than happy to cook you a meal for some cordobas. Playa Madera, near San Juan del Sur, a popular spot provided good surf with a few more people. A two hour drive north to La Boquita offered clean glassy waves with only one local boogie boarder who enjoyed our company. Glad we escaped the growing crowds of Costa Rica.
Uncrowded spot with 300+ days offshore breeze per year!
