Somewhere in Nicaragua
Howdy everyone! Welcome to Tuesday’s surf report primarily from a mysto-spot that I don’t want to personally name haha. John leveraging all his speed on this power carve.
Alright, now to “spot-X”! I expected the waves to be pretty bad when I went to shoot, but was shocked to see there were some nuggets coming in here.
Koji flashing one of his fresh new Byrne sticks from Australia with this smooth top-turn.
Yuji got a good little barrel here, but I’m a bit perplexed by his form here? From my observation it looks like he was going for a switch pig-dog? Maybe he’s been watching some Chris Ward or Andy Irons clips, the two best back-side barrel riders of all time.
I think John was feeling a bit “over-gunned” with the Ricky Carroll out there, but that didn’t stop him from getting vertical on this end-section.
Yuji must’ve skipped breakfast this morning, as he must’ve been pretty light to have popped this high on this air XD
Kai DeLorenzo was the heat winner today. Check out how low he’s getting here without compromising his style. He made this tube too.
John was loving the frontside carves today at an alternate peak.
Kai slamming a section shut.
I didn’t think I’d see makable barrels for a considerable period of time, but here’s the barrel of the day from spot-X. Kai fully coiled up in this frame ready to extend and drive through the tube.
Woah, how round was this one!
And he made it. Man, the camera sure struggles anytime there’s glare from the sun :’( Only a poor craftsman blames his tool haha
There weren’t many people on the beach near Spot-X, but those few who were quickly waxed up and jumped out there after seeing the mini-tube fest. Tomorrow the surf could be alright with some tide in the morning or sunset, but be forewarned that the forecast looks pretty small and wind looks like it will be blasting hard offshore. I’ll still be bringing you guys some action, so see you tomorrow.
RECENT REPORTS
Hey everyone! Welcome to Tuesday’s surf report from Panga Drops. The swell was notably stronger than I expected. Some early season Pacific power! Middle peak was the place to be, but it was windy.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Monday’s surf report from French Fries. The waves were pretty much firing when I rocked up to take pictures, but just like yesterday the wind went side-shore as soon as I put the camera away. At least some surfers caught the magic window.
Hey amigos! Welcome to March 1st’s surf report from French Fries. The waves were really fun in the late morning and early afternoon. The wind direction was perfect, but then flipped side-shore right as I went to grab my board haha.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Welcome to another week and surf report from your favorite surf zone in Latin America! The waves were gorgeous with those deep blue hues, thanks to those stiff offshore winds and the swell was in the super fun chest to head high range. Come on in and check it out!
Happy Sunday folks! It was another beautiful warm and sunny summer day here in Nicaragua. Plenty of people out enjoying the afternoon tide coming down, along with the sun super session.
It’s the weekend and you know that means beach day for everybody and even some horses too! Super nice weather out and some waves on this beautiful Saturday.
