Playa Maderas
San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua11.293° -85.909°
Levels 2-6Typical size: 3–8 ft
The wave San Juan del Sur is known for: an a-frame beach break in a bay north of town that peels right and left and holds size well into the wet season. Schools run lessons here and it earns its reputation, but it is a step up from the sheltered bays to the south.
