Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hey everybody! Welcome to Friday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. We still had some tubes on tap for today, woop woop!
Yeah chica! Way to lock n’ load on this inside drain-o! This water photographer was getting tons of good shots today.
This guy slammed on the breaks on this right set to get behind the curtain. He had to use his butt and limbs as a parachute to slow down XD
The boogey’s were out on tube patrol yet again. Steep n’ deep on this emerald cylinder.
It was pretty fast this morning, but if you got going quick enough there were some high quality barrels to be had. This wave barreled for at least 5 to 6 seconds before shutting down.
Wooaaahhh, perfect blue jolly rancher barrel!
Another perfect shaped medium size right under navigation from one of this morning’s lucky surfers.
You can’t see the left from this frame, but this was a perfect A-frame barrel. The backside guy was deep, but he was starting to lift and pump across. Mr. Boogey at the corner check the rear view mirror please!
Alright, time for today’s barrel of the day mini-sequence. This guy took this barrel to value town, nothing left on the table.
This is the vision and sensation we as surfers live for. Nothing like staring through the bright blue/green tunnel while traveling through it with speed.
Remember when I said value town? Yeah this guy got as deep as possible. All the way behind the curtain probably gliding over the foam ball here.
After the super mario pipe shrunk on him, he managed to bust through the lip and make the exit. Way to go dude! I’m glad you were in the spot for this one as I don’t know if many of the other surfers could’ve made it.
Big lift up and across Mr. Boogey! Time to step on the gas pedal haha! I bet there were many happy campers after this morning’s serving of Tubos para Desayuno!
Even Pangas had some nice ones rolling through. Probably not tube action, but some rippable walls for sure.
That cut’s it for today’s surf action! The weather was cool this morning with a slight puff in the offshore wind relative to days past, so it was a great time to go for a stroll across the beach. I’ll be on the report again tomorrow and it looks like the surf should drop slightly, but given the current hot streak I wouldn’t be surprised if there are still some barrels on the menu for breakfast tomorrow!
RECENT REPORTS
Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday’s surf report from Colorados. It was another small, but fun day of waves. Looks like the last mellow day for a good eight to nine days. Finley managed to find a couple of tubitos.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. The surf was still fairly small today. There were moments where it pulsed and moments where it lulled out. Still clean and good for turns.
Hey amigos! Josh back behind the lens for the next few days. The small “gap” days are here! Funnily enough there were still some mini-drainers at Colorados this Wednesday morning.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Welcome back to a bombing surf report from the Emerald Coast of Nicaragua. We have some serious swell in the water producing well overhead waves today. Come check it out..
Howdy folks and welcome to the “hump day” surf report. Well, it couldn’t be more appropriately named for today as that new energy that came in over night (along with that pretty nutso rainstorm) definitely showed up this morning with some pretty big humps and lumps out there. Check it out!
Happy Tuesday to all you dedicated surf fans around the globe! Today we had a bit of decrease in swell compared to the last few days, but there were still some nice waves to catch out there and the crowd was actually very minimal (at least while i was shooting). Step on in and check it..
