Nicaragua Surf Report for Monday, January 29, 2024

Josh S

Hi everyone. Welcome to Monday’s surf report primarily from “Spot X”. The size of the waves was a bit smaller today, but the main issue with most of the peaks was the vicious wind.

Josh S

Spot X was the spot to be when I wandered down to shoot the report. It would’ve been tough to squeeze into the little barrels though, unless you were a grom.

Josh S

Spot X could very well be the place of last refuge when the wind starts ripping. It somehow always seems to be straight offshore there when everywhere else looks cross-shore.

Josh S

There was only one bodyboarder out at Spot X, so he was able to pick off a good wave from each set that rolled through.

Josh S

Dang… It’s too bad he didn’t get this right though. He could’ve got a super hollow shack. I think this one even spit at the end haha.

Josh S

I think he got a spinal chiropractic adjustment here haha. Guillotine lip inbound.

Josh S

Here we go! I’m liking his form better here. He’s starting to use his hands and hip pressure to set his line harder across the face of the wave.

Josh S

He got a quick little barrel off the takeoff here, but decided against sending it into the second section. The doggy-door duck gave him the clean exit for a tube completed.

Josh S

Oooohhh! Look at the lip projecting outward on this right from the backwash. Maybe if this guy comes back next year he’ll be launching “rolo’s” off these critical sections.

Josh S

“Dang, I should’ve waited for the second wave.” Haha! We’ve all been here before. Tomorrow’s forecast is looking pretty windy and a bit smaller, but I’m hopeful that we will luck out with a good window at some stage tomorrow morning. Thanks for checking in and have a good one.
