Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hi everyone! Welcome to Wednesday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. The wind was light onshore this morning and the size wasn’t too hectic just yet. Overall better conditions than I expected.
Mike Doan gets to open today’s surf report. He’s simultaneously blocking and blasting here haha. Can’t leave openings right?
A visiting surfer making good use of the steep pockets provided by the light onshore flow around mid-tide this morning.
Will gliding with some smooth style. He put in a solid session this morning! Or maybe it was two sessions? I was in the water earlier in the morning and he was out, but when I came back to shoot he was still getting plenty of waves. Big board big reward.
Another visiting surfer putting forth his best effort to fan his feathers. It’s tough to do snaps on the fatter inside waves.
But if you put the same guy with the same force on a higher quality wave, then wallah! Buckets of spray abound!
Many of the smaller to medium size waves were long, but slow paced. This guy knew what he could and couldn’t get away with in terms of force of maneuvers and matched his tempo to that of the wave.
Check it out, this guy is using the force to throw spray haha!
He carried some speed through to the inside section and pulled off a pretty impressive slide-y turn given the lack of slope on offer.
When the West wind blows it’s chop-hop time! Leverage the extra loft from the wind.
Slow, steady, and good sequence of rotation. Nothing crazy, but smooth surfing. Makes it look easy out there.
To close today’s report, we have Mike Doan launching full blast into this punchy end-section. No wonder he was practicing his face guard form earlier haha! Mike is familiar with punchy onshore conditions so he rode through this move easily. All in all we got lucky that the conditions were still fairly manageable and tame today. Nothing to ride home about but better than forecasted this morning. If the winds remain like this the next two weeks then I’d say that’s a positive outcome relative to what is forecasted haha!
RECENT REPORTS
What a Friday! Welcome to another picturesque day at Playa Colorado. The swell showed up early today, and pulsed even harder as the day progressed. Emilien kicking off today’s action.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Colorados. Today was probably the bottom of the swell until Sunday (which also could be relatively mellow). There was cloud cover and a few little showers scattered throughout the day, but there were fun windows for surf.
Hey everyone! Josh back behind the lens for the next few days. Wednesday’s action is coming your way from Colorados as per usual. The size dropped today, but there were still a few head-high sets offering up shreddable walls.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Welcome to the Monday surf report! Today was an atypical day of surf. The wind was hard onshore in the morning and backed off later in the day. I tried to track down some surfers at Panga Drops, but I missed them. Things weren’t looking good… Victory at sea?
Hello ya’ll and welcome back to the daily surf report! Today would normally be Brian’s report day but today is his B-Day so he is off celebrating and if you see him make sure to wish him a happy B-day! We had a handful of chargers that went out early today to score some waves…
Hey guys welcome to the weekend it is another super sunny and beautiful day on the beach. I hope you have your sunscreen and some wax because the waves are fun and the sun is shining and I would dare to say we are in the best spot in the world to enjoy some waves..
