Somewhere in Nicaragua
All good things must come to an end – today is the first day this year that we received onshore winds here in Nicaragua. It was actually clean in the morning and then proceeded to blow light onshore from the afternoon on. I guess the kind of good news is that the onshore winds were accompanied by almost complete flatness in the Pacific (this is also unusual here). I snapped some shots to prove how flat it really was – it was probably ridable-flat at Maderas this morning. Check it out.
This is the biggest and only wave that came in during the half hour period I spend waiting. It’s about waist high. No need to post many pictures today…check back later.
RECENT REPORTS
Hello and thanks for checking in with us. Sunday Had some fun surf at Panga Drops. We had some strong winds and a little bit of wait between waves, but if you were in the right spot you had a nice ride. @tonyzphotos reporting.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Saturday evening’s surf report from French Fries. Today was very small. The smallest day of waves I’ve seen in weeks. It’s the smallest day we’ll probably see for a good two weeks. If Surfline is right then the Easter bunny is bringing swell.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday’s surf report from French Fries. The waves were small, but it was kinda pumping at this peak this morning!
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Once again the waves have held overhead and all the spots are firing. The winds were back to the normal offshores today too, not the hurricane force we’ve been having. After a long bus ride in from CR, we had a Schlek sighting…trying to adjust without a wetsuit.
