Miramar Surf Camp from Nicaragua
“That's a really good wave that work on high tide on regular swells and also works at low tide when the swell gets really big. It's probably one of the breaks that can hold more swell size in nicaragua. The location map on this website it's not accurate, this break is located 10 minutes south puerto sandino and at north of el transito. If you need more information please contact us thru our website.”
