About High Tide Surf
High Tide Surf is a locally run surf operator based in San Juan del Sur, offering surf lessons, guided boat trips, and rentals for visitors who want to explore beyond the town's main beaches. The team prides itself on personal, small-group coaching and knowing exactly which breaks are firing on any given tide.
Instruction covers everyone from first-timers to advanced surfers, with dedicated kids programs including group and one-on-one "grom" training for younger riders. Their boat trips open up harder-to-reach reef and point breaks along the coast that are difficult to access by road, and they also arrange house rentals and all-inclusive surf-and-stay packages for longer visits.
What makes High Tide stand out is its flexibility — lessons and boat charters are tailored around conditions and the surfer's ability, and the family-friendly grom programs make it a solid choice for parents wanting to get kids into the sport safely. Backed by strong local knowledge and a genuine enthusiasm for getting people on the water, it has become a trusted option for both quick lessons and full surf itineraries.
