Somewhere in Nicaragua
Howdy y’all! Thursday surf report coming your way from up the beach at Panga Drops. The tide was quite low, but the wave faces were super clean. It looked fun out there on longer gear.
My brother, John, made his debut return to the lineup today and scored some good rides on a foamie.
The sun was cooking out there at mid-day, so it was a good idea to wear a bucket hat like this guy.
This young fella won the short-boarding division today 🙂 The waves were soft and slow out there so he did well to stay on rail through his maneuvers.
John trying to give the young dude some competition. John’s been out of the water for a while, but has still retained his natural smooth style.
Luca found one of the better waves while I was out shooting. A nice big open canvas to work with.
Uh oh! He missed the mini tube section at the corner. It’s rare to see a barrel at main peak Pangas so it’s easy to not see sections like this coming.
He stacked some points onto the end of the ride with a nice roundhouse though.
Johnny boy got the most waves out there. He got the first wave and the most waves, but I think Luca got the biggest!
Smooth and steady. John doesn’t let his bigger frame impede his style.
Ah! Even John missed a barrel out there haha. He’s always been better at left barrels 😀
The young shredder got two back to back lefts with solid carves to close out today’s surf action.
Good sequence of rotation from the young shredder at the back, but John stole the camera focus haha!
The main peak was definitely the most consistent of the various options at Pangas today, but every now and again there would be a sick wedgey barrel at the beach peak in front of Casa Panga Drops.
We’ve once again lucked out with another offshore day during what is generally an onshore month. It’s been a nice change of weather and the air was finally a bit cooler + less humid. Tomorrow looks like it will be a bit bigger and I think the offshore wind will stick around, so there should be more fun waves on tap!

Hey everyone! Welcome to Sunday’s surf report from Colorados. The waves were finally a bit bigger today. There was a good window in the morning and in the evening. I took photos around 3:00pm and it was a decent window.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Saturday’s surf report from Colorados. The waves did end up picking up a bit, but it wasn’t firing yet. I’m thinking tomorrow could be the day. Still some decent waves as you’ll see.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Friday’s surf report from Colorados. It was another average day, waist to shoulder high shreddable waves.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Howdy hump day peeps! Humps and lumps and spectacular lighting is what today was all about. . . and I mean the entire day, just picture perfect! I tell you. . . October is really making a run for its money to be possibly the most constantly best month of the season if it keeps..
Today we had some small but fun waves. A little on the onshore side, but the sun was out enough to make for some vitamin D consumption, while excising in the biggest salt water bath on the planet!
Howdy gang & welcome back for another week of your favorite Nicaraguan daily surf report. Waves were in the chest to head and occasional overhead sized sets today. Still sunny, offshore and beautiful for this October. Click on the read more tab and let’s take a look at todays barrels!!!
