Somewhere in Nicaragua
This is a 4 day weekend here in Nicaragua. Tuesday, June 19th, it the anniversary of the revolution and everybody has the day off. Unofficially, that also means Monday. Anyway, the town is hopping and there are people everywhere. We checked out head high swell and offshore winds until 4pm at Maderas today. Here is a shot from the beach.
How do all those people get to Maderas? Check out Brent driving the Arena Caliente truck. What a great way to make new friends and get to the beach at the same time. The unofficial record is 19 people and 12 surfboards, so today was a light day.
The lineup was dominated by the locals today. Here is Danilo finishing off a nice one.
RECENT REPORTS
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.
Hello Monday, we had some rain overnight and some on and off drizzle during the day. This has been making for light winds and a relief from the heat. @tonyzphotos reporting.
Happy Sunday and Father’s Day to all the papas out there. We have some inconsistent surf in the waist to shoulder high range. @tonyzphotos reporting.
