Just around the south corner of Colorado you will find playa Amarillo, a raw, jungly, dark(er) sand beach with mellower waves than Colorado.
The angle of the beach makes it a little better than Colorado with these conditions, cleaner, softer and wider waves… enough to fulfill your surf desires.
Amarillo is a great spot for intermediate surfers, super fun waves without the incredible barrels that we are so familiar with.
Here you can find several peaks along the beach, and you can always check Colorado too.
This local kid was killing it, doing several turns on each wave.
Showing a really nice style on his bottom turns.
There were only 4 people in the water, and they all were having a great time… can you tell from his expression?
GA Surfboards always representing on every surf spot in Nicaragua!
I’m going to start bringing my kid to surf here, these waves are perfect for him (when it’s a little bit smaller).
After the surf I went to check out Monkey house (the A-frame rancho on top of the hill from the first photo) owned by our old friend Oliver Solis.
This spot is amazing! The view is incredible! You are on top of Amarillo beach and you can check out Colorado and Panga Drops from here!
Oliver’s cousin Emir with his wife Nohemi and their kid Gonzalo have been taking care of Monkey House for a while now, they offer really cold beers and good food, ifn case you want to come check it out for sunset after surfing Amarillo.
If it’s rainy and with onshore… go explore, you could find really cool places just around the corner! Stay safe everyone, between pandemia and craziness, it seems like the world it’s just another bad narco mexican telenovela! Cheers!
RECENT REPORTS
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).
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Hello everyone, welcome to a new week of surfing in Nicaragua. For most of us, Monday is not our favorite day of the week, but when the offshore comes back, and the waves are these size, Mondays can be an amazing day!… Especially if you are at Colorados. Check it out!
