I noticed in the last few days that the winds died down a little bit in the afternoon, which right now it’s perfect because it goes well with the tide to surf Colorado.
The only issue is that they are big tides right now, high high tides, and low low tides (is it just me or that doesn’t sound right?, right?).
Between the wind and the big tides, there’s just a small window to catch good waves.
But when you catch a good one, I bet you feel like you’re walking on water, just glading, without the need of a surfboard.
During that small window of not so windy, there is always a chance of getting blasted by a gust of wind during a ride.
It feels great when, in between gusts of wind, when everything is calm, you are the one creating a nice chaos.
Every January feels like every January is the windiest of all Januarys, World Record of Windiness, the worst January ever… but for sure it’s always the same, windy as hell, dusty, tree branches falling, tree trunks breaking, and the worst… hard to surf!
I said hard to surf, but not impossible! You can ask John, he’s always out there no matter the conditions.
Let’s see what tomorrow bring us, it might be less windy but we’ll see. Hasta mañana!
RECENT REPORTS
Hey everyone! Welcome to Wednesday’s surf report from Pangas, specifically French Fries right. The wind was ripping pretty hard around mid-day, but it mellowed out slightly in the evening and the direction improved some. It was golden hour!
Hey amigos! Welcome to Tuesday’s surf report from Panga Drops. This lady either ended up a bit later than anticipated or misunderstood what it means to get barreled haha! I’ve got to give her credit for looking at this wave though. You don’t know if you don’t go (or at least look at going).
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Happy Tuesday everybody! Brian here reporting from sunny southern Nicaragua with some fun but really windy waves on tap for today.
