Nicaragua Surf Report for Friday, January 19, 2024

Josh S

Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday morning’s surf report from Panga Drops main peak and some frames from French Fries. The waves were bigger today, but the direction was funky such that the lines of the waves weren’t as good as yesterday.

Will Scharin is here visiting and got a couple decent rides this morning at Pangas.

Our mystery shredder from Wednesday’s report was out again today and he definitely dominated the lineup. A nice high-speed end-section smack on this right-hander at the main peak.

John put the sledgehammer to work during this backside lip-blast.

Root-beer float the section! Nice one young fella.

WHAM! He fully unwound and got inverted on this end-section. There must first be compression before there can be extension and release.

The young Nica fella did a good job of kicking through this backside turn.

Eyes on the prize, down the line.

Ooohh! A stylish layback carve to close the curtain on today’s surf report. I got my wish that there were more surfers out today, but I was hoping the waves would be lining up better at French Fries. If you know what you’re looking at, then you probably noticed the majority of today’s frames were from the main-peak. Tomorrow’s forecast looks identical, so we’ll see what tomorrow brings.
