PLAYA SANTANA
For sure today is a Happy Monday for all the surfing lovers in Nicaragua. The dry spell is finally gone and the waves finally arrived here at Santana. Check it out!
Everyone was super happy to see the waves coming and breaking all along the beach, every person that came was like “look at that one, wait, look at that other one!”
But only a few surfers were actually creating some trouble, “accidentally” dropping in on other surfers.
The offshore showed up too accompanying the swell. Sometimes it was difficult to catch the waves because the wind pushed you back into the wave.
I was surprised to see a bunch of boogieboarders out there, more than normal for this regions.
Representing the locals was Marlon, putting up a nice show out there.
This tourist with the red surfboard was also going off too with the turns, he was getting lots of speed and then Wuack! a powerful turn with a big spray.
The sandbars here at Santana has been kinda weird, right now the best time to surf is closer to mid tide. On high tide the waves break too close to shore.
The waves will stay this size for one or two weeks, enough for everyone to have fun and stay in shape for when the big swells start showing up in the next few months. Hasta luego!
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.
