PANGA DROPS

Hey everyone! Josh back behind the lens for the next few days. Welcome to Wednesday’s micro-wave surf report from Panga Drops and French Fries. Today was one of the smallest day’s I’ve seen in the past three months. It was near flat. Close to as flat as it gets here. This was a set wave at French Fries. When even French Fries is flat, you know that we are in “deep kimchi”.

This is him setting up further on the inside for his next turn. Although the waves were most consistent in the middle of Pangas, they were breaking very close to the beach.

He squeezed in one last cutback on the inside shoulder. Gotta make lemonade even when the lemons aren't juicy haha.

I think the mid-tide swamped the rocks at middle peak. I also think there is A LOT of sand washed up over top of the rocks at Pangas and on the beach at Colorados.

It was slim pickings this morning, but he managed to flow through a couple of smooth opening cutbacks.

I was surprised to see so many visiting surfers out in the near flat conditions. Although these set waves are roughly waist high, we call this flat (especially in the context of surf season).

Props to this surfer for getting so much push through this open face carve. It wasn't even to get drive or serious force through your moves today. Heck, it didn't even look easy to catch the micro-waves on shortboards.

It was kind of a stand-up contest, but I was lucky that there were so many keen surfers out there.

A low center of gravity was needed to maintain your speed on today's micro-waves.

Rosco scoping out all of the loose rocks and sand washed up on the beach. My theory / understanding is that the prolonged flat spell and deep nearshore trough / gutter is what has caused this. It is an unfortunate set-up for Colorados this weekend, but if the swell hits the current banks correctly we will be in luck. The forecast is finally on our side, because even if this weekend is bad, then by the next swell in early September the bars should have improved some. Hasta manana.

Howdy everyone! Welcome to Saturday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. The conditions have further improved today, which is great for all of us surfers here on the South Pacific coast of Nicaragua. Plenty of rippable waves were on the menu this morning.
