Somewhere in Nicaragua
We’ve had small clean surf here all week. Today we had more of the same. It is about waist high, the wind is light offshore, and the water is in the low eighties. It was unbelievably uncrowded today.
Some quality waves were even going by unridden out at Punto Machete. In the surfers’ absence, some spearfishing divers were owning the point today, taking advantage of the good visibility.
This group of Swedish backpackers have made their way to San Juan determined to learn how to surf. They were surprised to learn Sweden has its own surfing association, but did not relish the idea of practicing their new sport in the Baltic during the winter. Tag det lungt, hej d
A couple recent trips to Costa Rica took me to Playa Grande on the Pacific coast and to Volcano Arenal in the mountains. The places I stayed in each were exceptionally nice, reasonably priced and staffed by friendly helpful people. If you head to Playa Grande near Tamarindo email Kai at[email protected]for info. If your travels take you to La Fontana at Volcano Arenal the Hotel Cerro Azul Arenal has killer new casitas available, they can be reached at[email protected]. There’s swell in the forecast over the next couple days. We’ll keep you posted.
RECENT REPORTS
Happy Sunday, The sun I out and we still have some fun size swell in the water. @tonyzphotos bringing you todays action.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Saturday’s surf report from Panga Drops. The power of the waves dropped meaningfully overnight. It was a good day to pull out a fish or longboard.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. The waves were smaller today, but still very rippable. There were some lingering barrels as well.

Here is a cool shot from up above the Marina, which is being renovated by the Japanese. Notice the super hard offshores on the bay.
