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.

TRIP ADVISOR REVIEWS
Best day ever! - My 13 year old son really enjoyed his instructor Evan. The lesson gave him many skills and would highly recommend this suffering school for people that have not been on... read more a surf board before!

My instructor was Brooks and he was so awesome! He explained everything so well and had a lot of patience with me. He motivated me so much that I finally... read more was able to surf! And not just once, but several times! Fernando, the photographer, was extremely friendly and took amazing pictures of me! I HIGHLY recommend Pacific Surf School to anyone especially if it’s your first time just like it was for me.

Deceptive advertising and poor communication/web site - First, parking is VERY difficult to find so be prepared for that. Second, we were given directions to go to the shop. However, when we got to the... read more shop they were closed and there was a sign on the door to go to the beach across the street where they had a canopy set up. Could have given us those directions in the beginning. Website advertises 90 minute lessons. HOWEVER, that 90 minutes includes the time to change into the wet suit and get ready for the lesson. Even at that we were about 10 minutes late starting. but they counted the lesson as starting on time. Then ended lesson 15 minutes early so could return the surf board and change out of the wet suit. Total lesson less than an hour. Also, had rented boards for an additional hour. BUT, unknown to us (no information on web site) had to switch to a different wet suit and had to walk a block over from the beach, get the surf board, and walk back. Like a dummy I assumed the board that we were renting would be one that we used for the lessons. I don't know that any of the other schools are any different. Just want people to know and understand you may be paying for 90 minutes but you get an actual hour or less OF LESSON. Did not use the rental and did NOT get a refund ($15 for an hour per board).
