Playa Remanso

Playa Remanso is a WSW-facing beach break in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua. It picks up swell from S to WNW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 52% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the ENE: light winds or ENE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while WSW onshores chop it up.
