Somewhere in Nicaragua
What’s up ladies and gents?! This is Parker welcoming you to today’s edition of the NSR surf report. Conditions were fun and some amigos were ripping. Check it out!
Late last night, some of my friends flew in from Ponte Verde, Florida for a weekend mission. What better place to spend spring break than surfing fun waves?
Big brother Cameron Alvarez was stoked to get back down to NICA Land. Despite taking the red eye, these guys were frothing to get on it early.
Younger brother Carson was out ripping too. We were hoping to score some leftovers at the beachie but the swell significantly dropped off. I’m sure they’d prefer a barrel, but a shoulder high line isn’t too horrible to settle for…
When the tide was fuller, the beach showed potential. Once the tide dropped, the buttery lines opened up and we enjoyed the reef. If it’s only going to get better and better as we approach the 2017 season, you might want to check out that vacation rentals tab in the top corner.
Long time family friend Jason joined this crew for the trip. As soon as he jumped in the water, he said “wow the water IS cold!!!” If you’re coming down during March, bring a top or a spring suit. The water will warm up once the offshores calm down.
He was hanging out on the north side of the beachie picking off some lefts. With the channel and current, those lefts are tough but he managed just fine.
What did big sis Camille do while her younger brothers surfed?? She shot photos and chilled on the beach. Camille, what do you think about taking the camera and helping us out tomorrow?!?!
While we are on their family, I have a question for Mr. Alvarez… what do you feed these guys?!? If the family diet produces stylish powerful surfing, sign me up.
As for the forecast, this weekend and start of next week is going to be pretty mellow. We should have another pulse at the middle of next week. Then, March should end/April begin with a solid swell. Fingers crossed to see what actually plays out though…
In the meantime, Cameron will enjoy what the ocean offers. My favorite things about surfers from the East Coast is how stoked we get. Except for the past couple of days, we always smile and say “it’s better than back home!!”
The CSO of the EMHEC just got back in town and will be hanging out for a couple months. Roger brought one of his friends Bill down to surf and yes, he’s just as friendly and cool has him. Welcome down and welcome back down guys!
Do you know what’s really cool about these guys? These guys cashed in their paychecks to come down on this trip. Hopefully we can keep stoking you guys out and make sure you enjoy a well earned vacation!
After these guys tore up this reef, I think a big dinner is on order. What are guys thinking? Hit a local place for heaps of delicious cheap food or put your property’s grill to good use?
Ok damas and caballeros, we had a super fun morning! Those on vacation hoped out and enjoyed an epic breakfast (hopefully the PPP at Pili’s) and some of us scarfed down some quick food before work. Thank you guys for checking out today’s shots and stayed tuned. Nos vemos pronto amigos!

Sunshine, Sunday Funday, and a surprise jump in swell size. A great way to round out the weekend. @tonyzphotos reporting.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Saturday’s surf report from Panga Drops. The waves were very clean this morning, but nobody wanted to surf at low-tide. There were still a few good corners scattered across all of Pangas’ peaks.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday’s surf report from Panga Drops. Yuji hard carried the report again. The wind was relatively calm and favorable, so that was nice. Surfline was wrong about the size again though. Smaller than called for.
