About San Juan del Sur

San Juan del Sur on Nicaragua's Pacific coast attracts intermediate to advanced kiters seeking waves and wind in channeled conditions. The beach break presents both swell and wind opportunities for progression and performance riding. Consistent Pacific swells combine with seasonal trade winds to create dynamic water states. The beach launch serves as a gateway to offshore exploration. Local town infrastructure supports visiting riders with accommodation and dining options near the water.
