Nicaragua Surf Report for Saturday, January 05, 2019

Brian Scott

Buen día amigos! Another fine day at the playa today. Waves were a tad smaller, but there were still some fun waves, the sun was out and the winds were offshore. Always something to be grateful here in the land of waves-O-plenty!

Brian Scott

Long roping waves were on tap today up at the reef. If you ask Oscar, he’ll for sure tell you today was pretty amazing!

Brian Scott

The lefts weren’t bad either. Ask Cesar and he’ll tell you the same thing.

Brian Scott

My hopes (especially if you read yesterdays report) was to shoot at Colorados again today, but as you can see, the swell dipped a bit and as always this time of year, the reef usually gets the nod when it comes to waves and surfers.

Brian Scott

You know that feeling you get when you drop in and all you see is a nice long wall ahead of you?

Brian Scott

I still think it’s an ok feeling, even when you see a shoulder hopper eyeballing your same long wall, as long as he doesn’t drop in, its all GOOD!

Brian Scott

I think the best part of this wave is the length. Its not a super high performance wave by any means, but you can get really really long rides at this break and do a lot of turns.

Brian Scott

The inside closeout section is always open for many types of maneuvers. Cesar, here obviously going for the leg burner layback snap.

Brian Scott

Photo worthy, yup. This time of day and the lighting from this angle. Guaranteed!!!

Brian Scott

See what I’m saying.

The golden hour light at this place can get pretty nuts when the light reflects through the waves peeling from the take off zone all the way in.

Brian Scott

Marcelo taking one of those big sweeping turns and if he’s lucky, he’ll connect it through the semi-dead section and connect for that inside bowl.

Brian Scott

Alberto showing perfectly the size of todays surf and the part of the length of this screaming right he’s on.

Brian Scott

Turns, turns and more turns, this wave is so fun; and a nice break from all the barrels (said no-one! haha) during the peak season.

Brian Scott

Nam’s got this place dialed with his little fish quad. No matter how much wind is blowing up that face, he’s still going a Gazillion miles an hour!

Brian Scott

Christy and her Mama Cheryl enjoying one of our spectacular sunsets arm n arm, heart to heart and drink to drink. What other way to experience Nicaragua, right??

Brian Scott

The birds always fly south in the afternoon? Does anyone know if they all live and reside in San Juan Del Sur or something and this is them heading home for the day?? haha

Brian Scott

Chin Chin and a cup of golden sun! Happy Saturday my friends, hope you had a wonderful day. Buenas noches ~
