Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hey everyone! Josh back behind the lens for the next few days. Welcome to Wednesday’s report from Panga Drops. The waves pulsed fairly consistently early this morning, but died out later in the morning as the wind turned light onshore. Would you and a buddy split the peak on this A-Frame?
This unknown rider tore this wave to bits. You gotta feel bad for the wave here…
The inside section wasn’t safe from getting it’s face ripped off either. This guy had some serious drive and torque through his turns.
Meanwhile up the beach @springfield_surf , John, was giving a surf lesson to Jenny. She picked a good morning to take a lesson! The water surface was sheet glass and plenty of small green waves sliding through for her to practice on.
Back to the primary action. There was a swarm of grommets staying at one of the beach front houses. They made easy work of this morning’s favorable conditions at Pangas.
I could be off-the-mark here, but I think this guy is traveling here with the grommets. Anyways, he did an excellent job of fanning some spray during this frontside snap.
Slowly and gingerly. The grommets quickly figured out that once you get out of the pocket at Pangas, then you have to very carefully carve your way back into the power zone of the wave adjacent to the whitewater.
This young buck nailed the maneuver of the day. This air reverse was quick, sharp, and stylish. Definitely the cleanest grab rail rotation with clean landing that I have seen in some weeks.
The conditions were dreamy for beginners and intermediates up the beach. Jenny working on her frontside turns here. As surf instructors, John and I get so stoked on small gentle conditions haha.
One more flowing carve to close today’s surf action. Don’t worry viewers because the swell of the year (thus far) is forecasted to fill in next week. Flowing carves will not be in the cards on those days haha!
The early bird gets the sheet glass, light offshore breeze! Hopefully tomorrow morning’s window is as fun as today’s was. We have plenty of talented youngsters to rip, so I’m optimistic on tomorrow’s surf report. Thanks for checking in and see you guys tomorrow.
RECENT REPORTS
Hey amigos! Welcome to Friday’s surf report from Colorados. The swell was very big as forecasted, but it didn’t really hit the sandbars appropriately. Still some big drops and adrenaline rushes.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Thursday evening’s surf report from Colorados. It was a bit of a “stand-up contest” this evening, but the power should return tomorrow. Still surfable, but we are suffering from the recency bias haha.
Hey amigos! Josh here for the next few days. Welcome to April 1st’s surf report from Colorados. The surf was on its dying breaths today, but there were still a few good sets and pulses sprinkled throughout the day. The mid-day window had insane sun, so there were very few surfers out.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Welcome back Monday! It’s amazing how quickly time goes by down here in the tropics. Must have something to do with be being so close to the equator, maybe? The time (from sunup to sundown only changes by about 30 min the entire year) It’s pretty much dark by 6:30 pm and first light is..
Happy Sunday everybody! Fun day of waves. Plenty of people out enjoying the beach life. Step on in and see how we like to close off our weekends here!
Welcome back to the Saturday Surf Report from our beautiful coastline here in Nicaragua. I hope you had a chance to get out there this morning if you’re here because it was a really fun morning session. At about 8am the tide was still kinda high and the waves had size but were slopey but..
