Level 3/10

Asuchillo

León, Nicaragua

Asuchillo is Nicaragua's most consistent beachbreak—a world-class wave that hosted the 2024 ALAS Pro Tour and delivers reliable surf nearly year-round. Two rivers flow into the ocean here, carving out perfect sand plateaus that shape excellent waves. The spot sits just north of the main Lake Nicaragua wind corridor, so dawn sessions before the winds pick up are essential. When a south swell combines with offshore ENE winds, Asuchillo produces the kind of friendly, well-formed waves that work for everyone from beginners to pros looking for a fun session.
