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 Wednesday’s surf report from Pangas, specifically French Fries right. The wind was ripping pretty hard around mid-day, but it mellowed out slightly in the evening and the direction improved some. It was golden hour!
Hey amigos! Welcome to Tuesday’s surf report from Panga Drops. This lady either ended up a bit later than anticipated or misunderstood what it means to get barreled haha! I’ve got to give her credit for looking at this wave though. You don’t know if you don’t go (or at least look at going).
Hey amigos! Josh here behind the lens for the foreseeable future. Today’s report is coming from Panga Drops. The waves were pretty small again today, but just big enough for a few people to rip.
