El Remanso surf guide

El Remanso is a well-known surf spot located south of San Juan del Sur, appealing to both locals and visitors. It features a picturesque cove that's popular among beginner surfers looking for a relaxed vibe. While the surf scene isn’t as lively as some other spots, this beach does offer some fun and manageable waves, making it a decent choice for those just getting into the sport.

The waves here work best with swell from the south and southwest, handling sizes around 2 feet (0.6 meters). You can expect a mix of left and right beach breaks, which can be quite fun, especially at low to mid tide. It’s a spot that tends to work well when the wind is coming from the northeast. The sandy bottom makes it easier for beginners to paddle out and practice, as you don’t have to worry too much about rocky terrain.

If you’re just starting out, El Remanso provides a good environment to build your skills. While it may not house the most epic waves, it’s friendly enough for novice surfers and it’s a nice place to hang out and enjoy the ocean. Just remember, it can get crowded with beginners, so be prepared to share the waves.
