SURF LESSONS San Juan Del Sur
The Best Surf Lessons in San Juan Del Sur!
Where consistent offshore winds carve out perfect waves in crystalline seas, San Juan Del Sur’s popular surf breaks offer great conditions year round to all surfers and people yearning to learn to surf. At Playa Colorado Surfing School we offer private, semi-private or group surf lessons at the best surf breaks in the region and we’ll tailor your surf experience according to conditions and the type of wave you seek.
Unless the swell is unusually high, we take our beginners down to play in the long wave at Playa Remanso. Playa Maderas is another one of our favourite locations for learning to surf and on an incoming tide, the swell is excellent for all surf levels with a mellow break and a string of rustic bars to quench your thirst after the surf lesson.
If you’re looking for space, we’ll take you down to the mile-long Playa Hermosa, meaning Beautiful Beach in Spanish. Promising consistent swell for all levels of surfers, we love bringing our longboards down here and the ample space is great for learning to surf. For the more advanced surfer, Playa Colorado Surfing School grab the short boards for a tailored lesson and paddle out to Playa Yankee where the powerful peaks often reach chest or head height. Here you also get a lot more surf territory to yourself because the crowds stay closer to town.
Not so keen on San Juan Del Sur? Contact Playa Colorado Surfing School to set up an epic surf lesson further up the coast at Playa Colorado, the beaches of Rancho Santana or the famous Popoyo breaks. We’ll tailor the lesson and location to suit you!

TRIP ADVISOR REVIEWS
My husband had Caleb as his instructor, and had an absolutely amazing time surfing. Easy to schedule, reasonable price (not cheap, but worth it), and a terrific experience. My husband... read more was able to get up and surf on his first couple of tries thanks to good coaching and he had a blast. (I could tell from my seat on the beach!) Instructors are nice and encouraging!

This has been the best day of my life. I’ve never surfed before and I was so scared to get into the water. Thomas our instructor was perfect, always there... read more to help me and teach the best way to get on the board. We also saw 3 dolphins. It is so cool and so well organized! Totally a must fo

My wife and I surfed for the first time with Angelo and Alex. We both had a ton of fun and would definitely recommend it!

I'm a 41 year old male, never surfed before, and my wife set me up with a private lesson as an anniversary present. We surfed at Mission Beach starting... read more at 10:30am in September. Great weather, great beach, consistent medium waves. My instructor was patient, friendly, chatty, and helpful. 90 minutes was plenty of time to get comfortable and stand up a few times, and then be ready for a rest since wading out over and over takes a toll.
The team was professional and friendly, and the merch is great. While I didn't pay for the photographer add-on, he still took pics of me, which I later was able to buy.
Other things to know: There is no restroom at the office so go at home, the beach ones are very used. They supply the wetsuit so you just need underwear, but you change in public on the beach so be prepared.
