Puerto Sandino

Puerto Sandino is Nicaragua's ultimate long left—a 300-yard ride that ranks among the longest waves in Central America when solid SSW swell arrives. The wave starts in front of a large rivermouth and peels down a mixed sand and reef bottom, offering barrel sections and wally walls throughout its extraordinary length. The magic size is around 8-10 feet on the face, where the wave truly comes alive. Boat access is highly recommended since the takeoff zone sits almost half a mile from shore. When conditions align, this is Central American perfection—long, powerful, and nearly empty.
