The inside reef at Miramar is a series of boulders and slabs that mix the waves up into a skatepark of sorts with different bowl and sections.  It can reel under the right conditions, but it’s typically breaking in multiple spots.

Just 2 miles to the north, we take guests on daily boat trips to surf this sand bottomed river mouth point that often resembles Mundaka…except warmer and less crowded! It can be heavy, but is typically very user friendly for all abilities to find the waves of their life.

These are small reef/beach breaks about 1/4 mile to the south.  They break best on the backside of large swells when the period is down to about 13 seconds or less.  Often they have the best shape in the area, but can be finicky as far as perfect conditions go.

About 5 miles to the north is a long expanse of empty beach that stretches for about 20 miles up to Isla Juan Venado and then Las Peñitas. This is at the northernmost part of the famous Nicaragua lake effect offshore winds. Salinas Grande always has waves and when conditions are right offers some of the most uncrowded beach break barrels in Nicaragua.

About 10 miles south of the lodge is a small beach with a line of rocks about 100 yards offshore…the rocks help to form sand bars that shape the waves along this stretch of beach.  Typically a beginner spot, Transito on occasion breaks with some juice and can provide some more challenging waves, but we typcially look to it as an outlet for smaller days or even when we want to break out a longboard.

About 65 miles north is a beach called Playa Asserradores and a section of that beach is known as The Boom. One of the better marketed waves in Nicaragua it’s become crowded with barrel hounds, but it can be very very fun. We go when we know the conditions are going to be right or when we have surfers with the ability and spare boards to break.  It works off refraction from outer reefs that double up the waves into A-frames.
