Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hello everyone and welcome to another Nicaragua surf report. The waves are a little smaller today. Given the holidays, though, the beach has been pretty busy. Despite, or maybe because of, the small waves everyone seemed to be having a good time. The wind, strong at times, was offshore all day. The water is still nice and warm.
Today was all about picking up the necessary speed for a final move as the waves closed out. Here is one local grom in mid-pump.
The waves picked up a bit in size as the tide got higher, providing enough juice for the young guys to boost a few airs.
The real excitement today happened when a local fisherman snagged this Rooster fish from his handline. He was in knee deep water close to the surf and needed help from a friend and his lobster hook to be sure the big Gallo didn’t get away. We are looking forward to a forecasted bump in swell in the next few days. Stay posted.

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.
