WHAT’S WAITING FOR YOU AT OUR SURF CAMP

Life at Camp Nicaragua follows the natural rhythm of the day. Mornings start slowly, with breakfast shared at the camp before heading out to the beach as conditions line up. Surf sessions are planned around tides and swell, giving you the best chance to enjoy consistent, warm water waves in a relaxed setting.

After time in the water, afternoons are open and unhurried. You might stretch out with a yoga session, relax in the shade, explore the local area or simply take a break and reset. There’s space to be active or do very little at all, depending on what you need that day.

Evenings bring everyone back together. Shared meals, sunset views and easy conversation set the tone, often followed by small social moments like beach fires, music or planning the next day’s surf. It’s a camp that encourages connection without pressure, balancing quality surf time with the freedom to enjoy Nicaragua at your own pace.

Surf Coaching & Guiding at San Juan del Sur surf camps, Nicaragua

Surfing in San Juan del Sur is all about consistency, warm water and variety. With multiple beach breaks close by and conditions shaped mainly by tides, Nicaragua offers an ideal setting for learning, progressing or simply enjoying time in the water. Our surf coaching and guiding is built around daily conditions, small groups and supportive instruction, creating a relaxed but effective surf experience.

How The Surf Sessions Work

Surf sessions in San Juan del Sur are planned daily around tides, swell and offshore winds, which are present for much of the year. Nicaragua’s coastline offers consistent conditions, making it suitable for beginners and experienced surfers alike, with tides being the main factor in deciding when to paddle out.

Each session lasts 2 hours, with around 1.5 hours in the water and 30 minutes of theory. Sessions take place at nearby beach breaks such as Playa Maderas, Playa Remanso and Playa Hermosa, all within 10 minutes’ drive of the camp. A daily shuttle is provided, allowing the surf team to choose the best spot based on conditions and group level

The Surf Coaches & Guides

Surf sessions are led by experienced instructors with strong local knowledge of the San Juan del Sur area. Coaching is supportive, clear and safety-focused, helping surfers feel comfortable in warm-water conditions and varied beach break environments.

Groups are kept small with a maximum ratio of one instructor to four students, allowing for close supervision and personalised feedback. This low ratio ensures instructors can adapt sessions to both conditions and individual progression.

Progression & Support

Progression is built around understanding the ocean and developing confidence step by step. Coaching covers surf safety and etiquette, recognising safe entry points, and learning how to read beach breaks and shifting conditions.

Surfers work on core techniques such as paddling, standing up, finding the correct stance and catching waves consistently. As confidence grows, sessions naturally evolve to suit the surfer’s ability, with ongoing support and adjustments throughout the stay.

Equipment

All surf lessons include the use of soft-top surfboards, along with leashes and lycra rash vests. Equipment is selected to suit the conditions at each beach break and to support safe, effective learning.

Water temperatures range from 24º to 30º, meaning wetsuits are generally not needed. During the offshore wind season from January to April, a 2mm spring suit is recommended. Equipment is transported daily to and from the surf spots as part of the shuttle service.

BEGINNER SURFER

Perfect if you’re new to surfing or taking your first steps in the ocean. Nicaragua’s warm water and forgiving beach breaks make it an ideal place to build confidence. Sessions focus on safety, ocean awareness and the fundamentals, helping you catch your first waves in a relaxed, supportive environment.

INTERMEDIATE SURFER

Designed for surfers who can already catch waves and want to become more consistent. Coaching helps you refine technique, improve wave selection and feel more confident in a wider range of conditions, using Nicaragua’s reliable beach breaks to support steady progression.

ADVANCED SURFER

For confident surfers who are comfortable surfing independently. With access to multiple beach breaks and daily spot selection based on conditions, advanced surfers can focus on wave quality, timing and flow, making the most of Nicaragua’s consistency and warm-water freedom.
