Mananget is a laid-back surf spot located on a grey sand beach, perfect for both newbies and experienced surfers who want a chill vibe. It faces south, so the best time to hit the waves is during the summer when conditions are generally more favorable. Staying at the Don Juan Resort gives you a front-row view of the waves, making it easy to head out whenever you want.

The waves at Mananget can handle sizes from about 1 ft (0.3 m) and work well with a south or southwest swell direction. You can catch both left and right-handers here, depending on the swell. It’s a beach break that moves over sand, giving it a softer feel. The ideal wind for this spot comes from the northeast, and it’s pretty adaptable, doing well at low, mid, and high tide, which is great for anyone looking to surf at different times of the day. This spot is mainly suitable for beginners, so if you’re still figuring things out, you’ll feel right at home.

Even though it’s a beginner-friendly spot, more experienced surfers can still find fun rides if the conditions are right. It’s good to check the swell sizes and wind direction before heading out, so you get the best possible experience at Mananget. Overall, it’s a decent place to enjoy some surf time.
