It was a chill morning at the beach. I took photos around the breakfast while the tide was higher (some of us had to get to work during the day) and I saw a few mid tide peelers. As the tide dropped, the waves probably opened up but the size was still smaller.

As for the weekend, the swell is going to stay mellow. Be on the lookout for the fast runners to pack a couple turns in.

I bet this muchacho is wondering why the Founders Cup isn’t at Playa Colorado. On it’s day, this beachie is the Nicaraguan wave pool.

For a lazy Saturday morning, Danimal Springfield had the right idea. Now that I think of it, he always has the right idea: retire somewhere with a lifestyle, spend lots of family time, get the gang together for Sunday morning church, play golf, surf, or hit the volleyball court. Some people do have it figured out…

Running is also one of Dan’s highest priorities.

The northern peak was the spot producing the waves. Fast zippy rights to high line and snap a turn in or quick floaters on the lefts. If that doesn’t do it for you, try one of Mago’s famous tropical drinks at Pili’s Kitchen.

While the swell is down and the media is overhyping current Nicaraguan events, you’ll find people looking away and the beaches empty. Not a bad time tocheck us out…
