Somewhere in Nicaragua
Man, it’s a shame the wind switched because we have a little swell in the water. The waves are about chest high with mush burger sections perfect for airs! The Ripzone crew was on the beach modeling so we had a surf with the locals. We waited ‘til the afternoon to surf, and the ripzone crew caught it before the wind switched! Early bird gets the worm!
We wanted to start you off with Darwin “El Brujo” cranking a good cutback on a rare right. This guy was scratching for waves all over the peak and getting a bunch.
Who’s that Nica kid? Ohh wait, that’s just Mateo “Guineo” busting out of this solid section. Feels like your right at home, huh Mateo?
Man! The pictures make it look a lot better than it was! Jairo, stop taking such good pictures! Here’s Juilo busting a solid cutback on the shoulder.
The onshore wind pushes the board back under your feet. So the local kids see it as the perfect opportunity to start trying new airs. Here’s Darwin ”El Brujo” trying a rodeo flip, even catching the fisherman’s attention.
There was a bunch of hand line fisherman on the beach. It’s crazy they can reel in a nice jack with their hands! I can barely do it with a fishing pole
We wanted to leave you with one of the younger locals on a fun looking wave. Where was I when this one came in? I need everyone to cross their fingers for the wind tomorrow! The NSR crew is gonna try to wake up early and catch it before it switches. Buenas noches, we’ll see you out there tomorrow!
RECENT REPORTS
Hey amigos! Welcome to Thursday afternoon’s surf report from Pangas and French Fries. The swell didn’t drop nearly as much as forecasted, but it was a little bit smaller. It was very clean and pulsing while I took pictures.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Wednesday evening’s surf report from Colorados. Surprisingly, the past couple days of swell were just powerful enough for some decent waves to break at our favorite spot.
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.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Welcome to the Wednesday surf report. This is Roberto “Lucha Libre” and Mateo “Pledge” bringing you the action from today. Unfortunately the Reef was not breaking, but we still ad fun at a super good beach break. The waves there were running overhead with offshore wind. Check it out!
A day after the contest, i got back to San Juan del Sur and headed out to Maderas. It’s head high to overhead on sets and the wind was offshore in the morning. Check it out.
Well, we have a pumping swell out here today and it seems like the weather pattern is finally starting to change. It’s double overhead on sets and the winds were light onshore. We went out to the NSR Beach House and caught some fun ones. Check it out.
