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
Hey amigos! Welcome to Saturday evening’s surf report from Panga Drops, more specifically “French Fries”. The waves were clean and we had another beautiful golden-hour sunset window.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday evening’s surf report from Panga Drops. The wind was light and the size pulsed a little bit in the last hour of light.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from a secret spot and Pangas (French Fries). The waves were very small today, but super clean.
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.
