Description

Playa Amarillo - Nicaragua Playa Amarillo features a beach break with both right and left waves, characterized by a sandy bottom interspersed with rocks. The spot is known for its hollow, fast, and powerful waves, making it ideal for experienced surfers, while also being suitable for beginners during smaller swells. Offshore winds prevail 90% of the time, enhancing the surfing experience. This secluded and pristine beach is easily accessible from the town of Gigante, requiring only a short 5-minute walk or drive to reach the main peaks. Playa Amarillo works best at mid to high tide, particularly during rising tide conditions, offering heavy barrels on good swells. With minimal crowds throughout the week and on weekends, surfers can enjoy a tranquil session in paradise. The combination of consistent offshore winds and favorable swell directions from the Northwest, West, and Southwest makes this spot a hidden gem for surfers seeking both fun and challenging waves.
