The Best Surf Lessons in Popoyo!
Playa Colorado Surf School loves to run surf lessons at Popoyo beach, one of the most well-known surf spots in Nicaragua. Here, diverse surf breaks running along multiple reef sections offer something for surfers of all skill levels.
For beginner surfers there’s no sweeter spot to learn to surf than the aptly named Beginner’s Bay near the iconic Magnific Rock. Sheltered by an impressive shale rock shelf, Beginner’s Bay is a fun and easy wave that is approachable to everyone. Grab a long board and get on board with any one of our private, semi-private or group lessons today!
Further north in front of the surf town of Guasacate are the Popoyo surf breaks, with an inner reef breaking both left and right and an outer reef reserved for experienced surfers who can offer a real show in pipeline barrels. And if the beaches in the south are calling you down to Rancho Santana, Hacienda Iguana, or San Juan Del Sur, Playa Colorado Surfing School has got you covered. Say goodbye to dreaming about learning to surf and wave hello to the beauty and fun of Nicaragua’s surf coast today.

I'm a 41 year old male, never surfed before, and my wife set me up with a private lesson as an anniversary present. We surfed at Mission Beach starting... read more at 10:30am in September. Great weather, great beach, consistent medium waves. My instructor was patient, friendly, chatty, and helpful. 90 minutes was plenty of time to get comfortable and stand up a few times, and then be ready for a rest since wading out over and over takes a toll.
The team was professional and friendly, and the merch is great. While I didn't pay for the photographer add-on, he still took pics of me, which I later was able to buy.
Other things to know: There is no restroom at the office so go at home, the beach ones are very used. They supply the wetsuit so you just need underwear, but you change in public on the beach so be prepared.
