Popoyo
Popoyo is a picture perfect A-frame. Going left, expect a dynamic carving section perfect for powerful snaps and cutbacks. After making the drop and linking together a few turns, a cheeky inside tube section occasionally makes an appearance. Going right yields a softer ride with slightly less consequence and just as much fun. Popoyo works at any tide and holds huge swell, making it one of the world's most consistent and reliable waves year-round.
Popoyo has been the competition venue for the ISA World Surfing Games, the ALAS Global Tour Central America Popoyo Pro, Nicaraguan National Finals, and the Central American Surf Championship.​
Known as Central America's Pipeline, Outer Reef is an extremely hollow and powerful left-hand reef break. Located at the center of Finca Popoyo's beach, it breaks over just 6 feet of water and can reach faces of 25–30 feet on big swells. Not for the faint-hearted, this one is best suited for experienced surfers.

La Piedrita
Tucked on the north end of Finca Popoyo, La Piedrita is a hollow, slabby right-hander that fires up on the right tide, size, and swell direction. When it's on, it delivers punchy, fast waves with real power. A fun option for surfers looking for something different from Popoyo main-break.
Bahia Punta Sardina
The mellow, rolling waves on the south end of Bahia Punta Sardina are the perfect playground for beginners and intermediate surfers. With its forgiving, sloped face and gentle energy, it's the go-to spot for surf lessons in the area. You might hear it referred to as "Beginner's Bay", but we think it's so much more than that.
