Waves breaking on sandy bottom, varied conditions
Campo Militar is a beach break located on Nicaragua's Caribbean coast, facing northwest toward open water. The spot features a narrow sandy beach bordered by dense tropical forest and characterized by visible wave formations along a rocky, partially reef-protected shoreline. Water conditions show significant sediment runoff, typical of Central American coastal areas during wet season. The spot receives consistent northeast trade winds, though reliability sits at 39%, indicating seasonal variability. Best wind conditions arrive from the northeast (45°), providing side-shore conditions parallel to the beach. Wave heights average 1.24m, suitable for intermediate riders seeking consistent but modest swell. The area presents challenges including shallow water zones, visible rock formations, and potential reef hazards that require local knowledge. Limited infrastructure and access through military land suggests this remains a specialized spot best approached with experienced local guides. Water temperature at 28°C suits year-round riding. Conditions are most favorable during the dry season (January-April) when wind reliability improves.
