Somewhere in Nicaragua
Sorry folks, it rained all day yesterday and we didn’t make it to the beach with the camera. Today, we got up early and checked out the scene at Maderas. The aftermath of yesterday’s storm has left us with some bad wind conditions – that, combined with some windswell did not bode well for the surf today. Check it out.
Notice how there is nobody out…there were however, the occasional corners coming in. This one looked kind of fun, about head high or so and super shiney in the morning sun.
Hey, the three brothers who run the hostel at Maderas are building some more rooms! See that brick structure going up next to the treehouse – that’s it. For $5/night, you can stay right here at the beach and surf all day. Business is good.
These shots aren’t from today, but we just received them from our friends at “The PIT” surfshop in St. Augustine, FL. Thanks for sending them in. We think this is Salong from Limon.
RECENT REPORTS
Hey everyone! Welcome to Tuesday’s surf report from Panga Drops. The swell was notably stronger than I expected. Some early season Pacific power! Middle peak was the place to be, but it was windy.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Monday’s surf report from French Fries. The waves were pretty much firing when I rocked up to take pictures, but just like yesterday the wind went side-shore as soon as I put the camera away. At least some surfers caught the magic window.
Hey amigos! Welcome to March 1st’s surf report from French Fries. The waves were really fun in the late morning and early afternoon. The wind direction was perfect, but then flipped side-shore right as I went to grab my board haha.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Fun swell in the water, but we missed the morning high tide at Maderas. The waves were still about chest to head high, probably bigger at high tide and offshore winds all day long. Check it out.
