Somewhere in Nicaragua
Happy Friday folks!! We had some fun waves to help kick off our weekend shenanigans, so jump right in and take a look!
Made it down for the afternoon session with the tide going out and as you can see here, there were some pretty decent waves on tap.
Esteban (also on the same wave in the previous photo) giving us a nice size reference to the size of swell out there today.
When it’s Friday and you finish all your work for the day…. you don’t walk to play, you RUN!
And if you’re lucky enough to not have to work at all and you’re on vacation, this is how it should look. Poolside, beverage of choice and relaxing watching the surf.
My buddy Jan is the Man!
He loves surfing this wave and has been living down here for a really long time. Matter of fact he built his home up high in the bluffs in Rancho Santana back when this place had barely any homes along the entire Emerald Coastline.
This is what a truly nice Panga Drops wave looks like. Buttery glassy and a few feet overhead with light offshores.
And this is a great example of the typical take off under the lip at this wave looks like. Ya the rest of the wave is pretty easy, but if you’ve never had the breaking part of this wave on your back as you’re trying to take off, then you’re not sitting deep enough.
Setting up for some turns.
Lots and lots of turns. So clean and glassy. Nice one chica!
RECENT REPORTS
Hey amigos. Welcome to Thursday’s late morning report from Colorados. It was clean this AM, but notably smaller. The sets still had enough size to offer up tubitos.
Hey amigos! Josh back behind the lens for the next few days. Wednesday was a let down compared to what was forecasted. It was not 4ft @ 16 sec as projected by Surf-lie haha. The sets were good when they came, but there was one quality set every 20 minutes roughly. It was a waiting..
Hello Tuesday, I checked Colorado in the morning hoping the new swell was going to be showing, but didn’t see much happening yet. So decided to check Panga drops up the beach our local swell magnet. @tonyzphotos reporting.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Hey everyone, welcome to Thursday’s surf report! Today the wind picked up a lot more than yesterday making it really hard for surfing.
Whatup all, Kevin here, we back in God’s country aka Nicaragua in Hacienda Iguana, the greatest slice of land on earth.Report is coming to you today from Rancho Santana though because a girl told me her friend was house sitting a house in Rancho all alone and I immediately said yes even though she hadn’t..
It’s cool to see a lineup full of nice locals! Lesther grew up here and you can always find him in the tube on good days! Today though, he was going above the lip!
