About this break
Nicaragua's signature reef break — consistent peaks with an outer reef that holds serious size. Popoyo is an intermediate-level A-frame reef break in Nicaragua, delivering high quality waves for improving surfers ready to progress. It is most consistent from March to October (south swells). Best on a mid-to-high tide. Breaks over shallow coral or rock reef — booties are recommended and mind the take-off zone. Surfers drawn to Popoyo can browse beachfront homes, villas and lots for sale around Nicaragua with International Surf Properties.
