Somewhere in Nicaragua
We’re back with the surf report after some Christmas celebrating. The forecasts have been calling it flat, but we’ve been finding some fun beach break peaks here and there. There is a stiff offshore wind today, making the waits between sets a little chilly. Still, plenty of fun little waves to be had today.
It was definitely not big but the sets had good shape and the local groms were out in force. Here is a shot of the lineup – going right was the call today.
The holidays see many local families from all over the country make their way to the beach for a week of relaxation, BBQ, family time and of course riding their quads. I call this one double-half-pint-quad. These two were topping out at 40mph. Check the grimace and the sweet Mickey Mouse robe, that is bad to the bone.
Like I said the rights were working. Here is a young guy on one of the better ones testing out the theory of “if I just stick my head in the barrel, I can still call it a barrel, right?”. — Tito you know what I am talking about.
This spot breaks best on a higher tide. Today it was being surfed as the sun was going down well after the tide had pulled out, go figure. One guy out and fun little lefts peeling off the rocks, not a bad end to the day.
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.
