Some experts rank Nicaragua's Pacific surf as the best in Central America - and Rancho Santana is in the heart of the action.
At Rancho Santana, surfers will find breaks ranging from hollow, A-frame breaks, to classic point breaks, to ruler-edged tubes and outer reef breaks. The surf at Rancho Santana benefits from the offshore winds that occur 330 days per year in southwest Nicaragua.
The winds are accelerated across Nicaragua by the absence of mountains in the southwest region and by the presence of Lake Nicaragua to the east. Deep water swells range from 3 feet to 5 feet with bigger swells of 6 feet to 8 feet occurring regularly, and sometimes up to 15 foot swells, especially from March through November. December through February is less consistent, but during the calm months fun surf can still be found on most days. And because Nicaragua is still surfing's best kept secret, surfers at Rancho Santana enjoy these big, persistent waves all to themselves. Enjoy total relaxation as you pamper yourself at the Santana Beach Club & Spa. Rancho Santana's proposed spa, which is scheduled to open late 2008, will feature massage therapy, skin treatments, sauna and steam, reflexology, aromatherapy and more.
Basic healthcare is provided by the Roberto Clemente Health Clinic is located just outside the entrance gate of Rancho Santana. Within this modern facility, the Clinic's small yet dedicated medical team provides health education, emergency care, and treatment for chronic health problems endemic to this part of the world. |
