Somewhere in Nicaragua
First of all, don’t get too excited – this photo isn’t from today, it’s a photo we took about two years ago on a day that is largely responsible for our decision to move down here. This photo is of Mr. Brown and has just come out in the latest issue of Surfer’s Journal – a two page spread! Check it out if you get a chance, there’s also a good shot of Lance from Surfari Charters (who is once again confused with D. Hobgood) Special thanks to Dean who wrote the article!
Now, back to reality…it’s still pretty flat out at Playa Santana today. The wind was light early and light onshore by mid-day. There might be a rideable wave somewhere, but it’s not really working here.
Here’s a shot looking up the reef – the onshore winds bring in the fish and folks have been tearing up the Snapper out here. Hopefully this pattern will change tomorrow…
RECENT REPORTS
Hey amigos. Welcome to Thursday’s late morning report from Colorados. It was clean this AM, but notably smaller. The sets still had enough size to offer up tubitos.
Hey amigos! Josh back behind the lens for the next few days. Wednesday was a let down compared to what was forecasted. It was not 4ft @ 16 sec as projected by Surf-lie haha. The sets were good when they came, but there was one quality set every 20 minutes roughly. It was a waiting..
Hello Tuesday, I checked Colorado in the morning hoping the new swell was going to be showing, but didn’t see much happening yet. So decided to check Panga drops up the beach our local swell magnet. @tonyzphotos reporting.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Taking the day off…but still taking some pictures. We went to Maderas today and found some small, but fun waves. The winds were gusty and offshore again and the water is damn cold. If you don’t believe me, check out the guy in the fullsuit!
