We decided to change the touch and feel of the Popoyo.com site. Big thanks goes out to Jon V for working many benders to get this baby up! We invite you to surf around and check back often as we'll be adding more photos, footage and information about our little tropical paradise.
BTW, if you're someone with photo/video/computer skills and have been waiting for an opportunity to get your ass down here, let me know, we just might be able to work something out.

Here's a little slow-mo recording of Popoyo's Outer Reef from our live surf cam

I'm happy to say that we have our reliable offshore winds again! This seems to happen every year, it's the gamble that you take. Here is the answer to a question I get asked a lot: In the rainy season or Nicaragua's winter season (May - November) you are bound to get plenty of south swell activity. However onshore winds can happen if there is a hurricane or just about any type of weather disturbance in other areas like Florida, Cuba, Jamaica, etc... The rare disturbance off the Pacific coast sometimes will turn the wind for the worse too. During the dry season or Nicaragua's summer season (December-April) we receive less south swells but some west swells do make it in. The dry season produces consistent offshore winds with strong offshores usually starting up in mid February and lasting until the rainy season starts beginning of May. So there you have it. See ya here in Nicaragua!

Just wanted to let you dreamers know that your slice in paradise is still obtainable for a reasonable price. 35k will get you a Vista Verde home site in a Eco friendly environment. 10 minute walk to surf consistent, beach break, glassy waves of Playa Santana. Walk another 10 minutes around the bluff and catch Playa Rosada reef for a change of pace. 35k price is for the next lot only, so don't dream too much and snooze this one away. More information is located at the Vista Verde web page.

Well we had some uncertain days here the last two weeks. Really rainy and onshore winds one day then a medeocra day or two and then back to onshore winds and rain. Yesterday we finally got our offshore winds back with some really good surf. Today the surf looks a little bit smaller but conditions are very favorable. Here is a photo that one of our photographers, Ervin, shot yesterday. Not too bad. You can check all the photos posted by Ervin for this month in our 'Surf Pics' section of the site.
