Ok, HB isn’t all that bad, but Nicaragua would have been much more AWESOME! Anyways, I digress.Īpril typically has good waves, minimal crowds, and the water temp is back to its warm 80-degree self. Wish I could have learned to surf in tame, clean, friendly, and uncrowded Nicaragua, as opposed to nasty, junky, jumbled, cold, and aggro Huntington Beach. The waves tend to be the smallest this time of year as well which is an ideal time for the beginning surfer. January and February experience the strongest winds and upwelling which causes the water to be colder than normal.
However, during these months everything is incredibly lush and green, there are fewer people, and while the surf is smaller you can still score glassy head-high perfection with little to no competition. September and October are the peaks of the wet season with the heaviest rain which can result in all day downpours at times.
Photo by it rains in southern Nicaragua it’s often light and sporadic which tends to pass through fairly quickly, and sometimes it only rains overnight (which is always welcome). Especially between the months of April to September when the southern hemisphere starts brewing highly desirable south swells which Nicaragua and the rest of Central America are directly exposed to. Whatever your budget is, you’re highly likely to score plenty of waves and you’ll be happy you went. And like with most popular surf destinations out there, you also have the option to go with one of the many all-inclusive resorts or surf camps who will make it all very easy for you. You can definitely plan an incredible trip on a tight budget. Surf trip costs in Nicaragua are very reasonable.
We’ve also got the lowdown on tourism seasons and what you can expect so you can plan accordingly. In this guide to surfing Nicaragua, we’ll give you the lowdown on everything you need to know to plan your trip-the waves, travel costs, flights, food, transportation, and where to stay. With 300+ days a year of off-shore winds, fewer crowds than its neighbor to the south (Costa Rica), and consistent waves year-round, Nicaragua should be high on your list of surf trip destinations.
