Somewhere in Nicaragua
The Popoyo Surf Torneo is ON! And over 250 spectators are fighting through it despite the onshore, stormy conditions. The swell is pushing in solid overhead crumblers and many of the competitors, who are not used to imperfection, are having trouble.
Here is a surprise set wave.
Since the waves weren’t much to write home about, we thought we’d run through some mugs of the Heat Winners who are going to advance to the semifinals tomorrow.
First Heat Winner: Kike from Limon
Heat 2 Winner: Samir from Las Salinas
Heat #3 Winner: Erol de Limon
Heat 4 Winner: Gerardo, from San Juan Del Sur
Heat 5 Winner: Denis from Limon
Heat 6 Winner: Elvis from Popoyo
Heat 7 Winner: Oliver from San Juan Del Sur
Good luck to everyone in tomorrow’s semifinals and finals. We’re all hoping this storm blows through and gives us some good surf. We’ll be there to see what happens. Check back tomorrow night for the results.
RECENT REPORTS
Hey everyone! Josh back behind the lens for the next few days. Welcome to Wednesday’s surf report from Colorados. The swell head steady from yesterday, but unfortunately the wind got on it by 10:30am. There was an afternoon rain shower and I came back around sunset after the rain to find that it had cleaned..
Hello and Happy Tuesday, We still have plenty swell running in the water. The interval is still high making for pretty walled conditions. @tonyzphotos reporting.
Hello and Happy Monday, We have plenty swell running today, it’s just finding where is holding the swell. @tonyzphotos bringing you the report.
