Somewhere in Nicaragua
Howdy everyone. Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. Unfortunately the onshore wind has returned, but it wasn’t too strong in the latter part of the morning.
Cesar riding waves and making waves this morning. He displaced a translucent semi-circle of spray.
This visiting surfer showcased textbook form on this roundhouse cutback. High-tide Colorados + onshore wind = good conditions for roundhouses.
John made my life easier again today by jumping out for some waves on the Ricky Carroll. He didn’t let the extra length stop him from teeing up.
Nammy carving his way through the soft inside section.
One may wonder how John was able to ride out of this power carve here. The secret was in the set-up. He came in blazing down the line, so in order to wipe off his speed and get the board to come around, he had to hammer down super hard on his back foot and heels. His extreme back foot pressure is clearly evidenced by the portion of his front foot which is elevated off the deck of the board (visible to us).
A quick backside blast-ah from John. Thank goodness he went out to create some content for the report haha!
I concur John, it is indeed about 11:00am 🙂
The size was comparable to yesterday, but there were still a few odd large set waves.
I was surprised to see John cut his bottom turn short here, but to be fair the oncoming closeout section was pretty heavy.
I think this guy was hoping for a barrel here 🙂
Party wave!
Well amigos, it was fun for a quick paddle today, but nothing too special. I wish I could say there were better conditions down the pipe, but it looks like we could have some ugly onshore flow for the next few days. Hopefully this tropical system doesn’t result in much flooding. I’ll still have some content coming your way mañana regardless of how “feo” it is out there.
RECENT REPORTS
Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday’s surf report from Colorados. The waves were smaller today, but bigger than I was expecting. Still a few make-able tubitos in the morning.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Colorados. I saw the waves turn on and off about 7 separate times today. The conditions were in constant flux. It just so happened to be that the best window of the day was when I took pictures around 1:00pm.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Wednesday’s surf report from Colorados. The waves were better by all measurable metrics today. It was still walled up and slow, but there were definitely some 10 pointers to be had.

It was a Tubular Tuesday today and welcome to another amazing day of waves with yet another awesome rain and onshore free day in October! Couldn’t be more impressed with how well this month has been! Now go Enjoy ~
Hola and welcome to your Monday surf report. Well it was another gloomy onshore day, which means this last part of October is really pushing my creative side when there’s no-one out there surfing these sloppy conditions. Not sure if you had a chance to check out yesterdays surf report, but I did a little..
