Nicaragua Surf Report for Tuesday, January 02, 2018

Brian Scott

Hello and welcome to todays surf report. Well, the surf is micro, so we’ll call it the first Tuesday of 2018 and the smallest day of the year so far.

Brian Scott

How small was it you ask… well about this size.

Brian Scott

Even the only two people out at the beachie were having a hard time catching waves on longboards.

Brian Scott

Today was a great day to go fishing!

Brian Scott

Or wading. Kinda looks like Lake Nicaragua eh?

Brian Scott

I cruised up to the reef and it was pretty small there too. Usually this break gets some kind of swell. But the ocean just isn’t having it right now.

Brian Scott

Kimi come back… check out that nice little peeling right!!

Brian Scott

The conditions were EPIC! now if it were about 3-4 feet bigger, it would be perfect.

Brian Scott

Should I stay or should I go now?

Brian Scott

After seeing this set come through, it was definitely STAY! This guy got the wave of the day (that I saw all day).

Brian Scott

After going through all of last years photos to make the retrospective slide show for 2017, I did see how good it was last January. Especially Feb was really good. So lets hope history repeats itself. Book a trip early on this year and you can score it this empty with really fun waves! Trust me.

In the meantime, these kids had the right idea.

Brian Scott

Its was double overhead today… for a pelican! haha

Check out this sponge gremmie charger about to tuck into this Chopes looking wedge!

Brian Scott

Empty wave in an empty lineup. How often do you hear those two in the same sentence?

“I’ve seen bigger waves in a toilet bowl” - Occy - North Shore the movie. Couldn’t be a better time to use this quote.

Brian Scott

A boat with about 4 or 5 surfers rolled up.. hopefully they brought some fishing gear.

Brian Scott

The closeouts were pretty gnar gnar!!

Alright my friends… I know it wasn’t much, but we can’t always have it perfect. This was one of those 65 days unlike our other 300 perfect ones. The surf will be back, I promise. Until then, good to see you all back, being I have’t seen you since last year. Ohhh and Feliz año nuevo!! ~
