Somewhere in Nicaragua
Welcome back for another week and your Monday surf report, from your’s truly SBS! Another day of onshore winds… I was getting pretty sad as there wasn’t anyone out surfing the few times I checked it. But if you’re a regular reader here of the Nicaragua Surf Report, you know this place well enough to know that someone always comes out to play by the end of the day!
Be it the Hacienda Crew, or anyone from Santa Marta or anywhere from out of the jungle for that matter, something always brings the peeps down for sunset time!
Stoked to see my little buddies Jason and Ben show up to give the waves a little run for their money. Although, I heard they skipped work to surf & they got caught, so I hope their cordobas in surf was worth it today! LOL
Seeing semi glassy peaky bowls like this always helps with the paddle out and your hopes for a fun session!
Jason was off to a great start ripping these waves to pieces. Helps too that it was just them two out there with the whole lineup to themselves.
Ben was killing it on the lefts, as his preference is obviously the goofy foot persuasion. Both sides of the coin were actually getting better as that sun was setting.
Jason took such a big hiatus, I hadn’t seen him surfing at the level I was used to seeing him surf…. but it just goes to show, it’s like riding a bicycle. He’s just more of like a gnarly BMX’er dude though!!
Perfect time of day and actually the prefect weather for that epic sunset stroll. I heard there were some whales actually popping off down the beach towards Los Perros. I wonder if Chris and Jenna will be able to see some of those majestic creatures out there off our beautiful coast!
I don’t know what’s more frustrating to see… that there is actually pretty decent swell in the water (like you can see here with Philip on this wave that’s a little overhead) and it’s blown out and not doing it’s normal barreling thing, or that there aren’t as many people out surfing because of the onshore winds.
I say it’s a tie…. for one, people need to rest if the waves are pumping every single day, which in many situations, that is the case here. But for me, I love to see what people can do in more sloppy and less appealing waves. That, (to me IMHO) shows how diverse a surfer really is!
Like this small hand full of diehards who came out to surf “No-Matter” the conditions. Cesar will surf 99.9% of the time come rain or shine or even if it’s 1 foot. If it’s too big for here… you know where he’s going. And that is when you know your local friends pretty well!! Jajajajaj
Practice makes……
Ahhhaaaa, you thought I wad gonna say perfect, but it’s more like you wanna surf like Erin!!! But realistically, Erin is on a whole other level of dedication which in turn is all about perfection. All I can say is that she makes it look incredible easy and she also helps remind me of why I love taking surf photos every time she paddles out!
Meanwhile, Free Willy (whom I never did get to see tonight – total disappointment) was down the beach jumping out of the water…. Jason was at least giving me his own “fins-free” version for my last and parting surf shot for todays surf report.
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).
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.
Happy Sunday everyone, Thanks for tuning. We had another fun morning of waves at the reef. @tonyzphotos bringing you todays action.

Hey there weekend warriors! We had a truly beautiful tropical day of fun little waves out there today. Electric blue water with moderate offshore winds and not a whole lot of people out surfing, but just enough to give me something to share with you all for a surf report. Enjoy!
