Somewhere in Nicaragua

The swell is on the rise for the next couple of days with Tuesday predicted as our peak day and lots of good waves before and after.

Might as well get in all the turns you can because it might be an all out barrel fest come Martes!

As you can see, Rutci has her turns down pat, lets see you get the barrel of your life this week amiga!

Antonella was trying her hand down at the crazy right. Just paddling around in that zone shows some major cojones chica. I say that because this particular spot can get some pretty unexpected big sets steamrolling through there. Definitely don’t wanna be caught over there when the real swell hits.

This is the left opposite of that crazy right I was talking about in the last photo. I’m hoping to score some sick water shots here… that is if the rips aren’t too crazy.

Nice clean buttery pre-swell conditions, always gets any surfers heart and mind excited for what’s coming next.

I’ve been giving plenty of hints all week about making that one time of the year surf strike mission. Did any of your take my advice and pull the trigger. I have one friend who loves the big stuff and is packed and leaving mañana… you can bet you’ll be seeing plenty of shots of him on the reports when is goes XL.

The local crew, I can imagine are frothing, but at the same time, keeping their quiver safe until the grande days. When you’ve got a very limited supply to surfboards, you quickly learn how valuable a good shred stick is to have when a really good swell is on the way. Nobody wants to be watching from the sidelines.

Kai DeLorenzo has been clocking some serious time bouncing back and forth from his Florida home base and here recently. You can count on seeing some sick deep barrels with him in em. Warming up in warm water barrels is how its done!

Talking about deep barrels. How deep is deep, really? I guess when you’re back as far as you can be on the foam ball and you can see the next two or three throwing lips ahead… ya, that’s pretty deep!

I’m gonna have a lot more of these soon…. my favorite mystery man or woman surfers. No face, just enough board to maybe say it was you? Was it you? Only the real slim shady will stand up! Judging by this cat’s board, looks like he’s ready for the big stuff.

PC Fact : Carlos Perez knows the inner working of this wave better than anyone.

This swell is looking to be a bit west which could mean a couple of things. I could tell you, but then I would have to… well you know how that story ends. But if you come here, I’ll tell you in person.

I can’t exactly divulge all my info on here, as it’s just not as fun unless you’re here so we can share the fun times together, BUT, however, I’ll give you little tip. It has to do with what that guys’ doing in the foreground.

You ever hear that saying… “Never leave good waves when it’s firing”? Well, this doesn’t not apply to Nica-Land, because the waves sometime fire for a long time. I’m only guessing these people are leaving because they need some lunch and they have noodle arms.

There will more than likely be A LOT of this happening on Tuesday and Wed. People heading out of here if it’s too BIG. Just remember, the paddle out to the boat might be crazy, so you can always get a lift over to where the boats launch from a safe sheltered harbor. Let us know and Javier (aka “Baldo”) will arrange for all of your boat trip accommodations. Alright, have fun, be safe and hope to see you out there catching some of the best waves of your life.
