About this spot
San Juan del Sur is the gateway to the Pacific kite scene in Nicaragua. The area benefits from the famous Papagayo winds that blow strong and consistent during the winter months.
It is an affordable Latin American option with a rapidly growing community of kiters and surfers. The conditions are primarily offshore or cross-offshore, providing flat water and small kicker waves for twin tip and directional riders.
