general information

Competing with Madera as the best wave in the country, Popoyo attracts almost the same level of crowd, though beginners should leave this one to the intermediates and above. Powerful lefts and rights spwan of an A-frame peak breaking over a sand covered rock-reef. No trip to Nicaragua is complete without a surf here.
