Surf Pipes

Pipes - Nicaragua Pipes is a beach break featuring hollow and powerful waves that break both right and left over a sandy bottom. The spot is accessible with instant access (less than 5 minutes walk) from parking at an abandoned restaurant. It works best at low tide with rising tide movement, particularly under south to southwest swell conditions. Located just north of Miramar Point, Pipes is known for its barrels, making it a popular choice among experienced surfers. The waves are best suited for small to medium swells, and while it can produce fun performance walls, the rocky areas pose a challenge. Expect a crowded lineup on both weekdays and weekends, so be prepared for competition. Always check the swell direction before heading out to maximize your chances of scoring quality waves.
