Located in Rivas Province, Nicaragua, El Transito is a fun left-hand point break that offers up some rippable sections when the conditions line up. The waves here can be challenging at times and break for up to 100 meters over rock bottom. There is also a hollower right point break on the other side of town, which is a sleepy fishing village.
