Hello everyone and welcome back to the Friday NSR surf report.  The waves came up bigtime today as expected.  The day started out at around chest high with some overhead sets but as of report time it’s well overhead with some bombs charging through.  The conditions are nice and glassy and of course the crowds are thin.  Come on in and check it out.

Right out front when the swell is this strong is very tricky.  The currents and the closeouts can take their tole.  Here’s a charger trying his luck.  we decided to check out a couple of other spots close by.

Horseshoes was doing it’s thing with nice A frame peaks sneaking through.  You need a tad more board out here but if you get a good one you might remember it for the rest of your life.

There were just two guys out so there were so many unridden waves coming through.  Here’s a nice looking lefthander.

After awhile one of the guys got himself a gem.  It was worth the wait.  He took this one all the way though the inside and it had a nice wall the whole time.  Nice one hombre.

Same wave but just a bit further in.  I would call that overhead.  How about you?  How big would you call this?  The swell is supposed to increase even more tomorrow.  I can’t wait to see the carnage.

Now for spot number three.  We mostly have lefts here in Nicaragua but every now and then some of the more rare spots start breaking.  A lot smaller but still so fun.

We were stoked to walk up after the drive and see this long right.  We could hardly wait to wax up and get out there.  Pretty sweet feeling.

Hey amigos! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Colorados. I saw the waves turn on and off about 7 separate times today. The conditions were in constant flux. It just so happened to be that the best window of the day was when I took pictures around 1:00pm.

Hey everyone! Welcome to Wednesday’s surf report from Colorados. The waves were better by all measurable metrics today. It was still walled up and slow, but there were definitely some 10 pointers to be had.
