Somewhere in Nicaragua
We woke up early this morning and headed to Maderas to check the surf. Unfortunately, when we got there we found sloppy, chest high waves and onshore winds. Not again!
However – in a fortuitous turn of events (did I spell that right?), the wind mysteriously changed and began to blow offshore in the afternoon. This is a good sign! Roberto went down to the Bay of San Juan to document this historic event.
Here is Roque, logging some more time in the water.
There are three big fishing boats that have been washed up for a few weeks now. This guy looks like he’s found a new home…at least during low tide. Good conditions forecast for tomorrow too!
RECENT REPORTS
Howdy everyone! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Panga Drops. The waves surprised to the upside today. It was slightly larger than I was expecting, and there were hour plus long windows where the wind dropped out.
Hola amigos! Welcome to Wednesday’s surf report from Panga Drops. The tide was a bit lower by the time I got around to shooting today, so there was more action at mid-peak than the side-peaks. The wind was stronger today, but it was a little bigger today too.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Tuesday’s surf report from Panga Drops, once again we’re talking French Fries. The waves were smaller today, but the shape was arguably slightly better than yesterday. The wind was also a touch lighter.
