The Boom

Remote tropical setting and punchy barrels for skilled surfers.

The Boom is one of Nicaragua's heaviest and most powerful beach breaks, known for its fast, hollow waves that break over a shallow sandbar. Located in northern Nicaragua, The Boom is a favorite among advanced surfers looking for a challenging and rewarding ride. The waves here can be intimidating, especially during larger swells, but they offer some of the best barrel opportunities in the country. The area around The Boom is remote and uncrowded, providing a more isolated and intense surf experience.
