Somewhere in Nicaragua
Early morning Thursday report (getting a little late jump on the report part) but the photos were from a little after first light and the tide was dropping quickly, so I headed down to see how good its was since the winds were practically dead calm (for a little bit at least).
Here’s a little more puled in shot of one of the small but magical little nuggets that went by with only one person out.
That’s it, Mr. Brett.. the only solo charger, chasing around the lineup for all these fast little racy barrels.
The were going off in both directions.
When you have the lineup to yourself sometimes you have to watch a a few empty drainers go by unridden.
Josh and his morning paddle power beverage of choice, while checking the waves. What it is exactly, I’m not sure – but I’m guessing it’s not Flor de Caña!!! haha, but while he gulps down his protein something in there…. he’s watching the empty waves deciding, should I stay or should I go now?!
The only kind of morning floaties we like to see jajajajaja (it’s ok to laugh if you got that joke!)
Nica morning commute from one fishing village to another playa. Yeah, it’s purdy and scenic but make no mistake about the gaps and rock crossing’s that’s involved with this mystic morning voyage.
Brett all chilled out and barreled out of his mind, enough to thaw out for maybe the midday session. Yewww buddy – Thanks for the wake up call!
Just as Brett waked past and we exchanged few delightful morning pondering’s….. I saw this super frothed out body boarder charging out there like a mad man!
Aaaaaaand he had plenty good reason too!!!
Now if he moves down the way about 100 to 200 yards, he could have had all these super gnar gnar closeout mackers all to himself! And with that, I will close off todays report just like this epically beautiful closeout. Tomorrow’s Friday! You all ready to kick off the weekend????
RECENT REPORTS
Hey everyone! Welcome to Wednesday’s surf report from Colorados. The waves were better by all measurable metrics today. It was still walled up and slow, but there were definitely some 10 pointers to be had.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Tuesday evening’s surf report from Colorados. The swell was bigger and stronger today, but it was very slow between the sets. I think the lack of a secondary swell combined with the sandbars not being in perfect shape made for long waits.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Monday evening’s surf report from Colorados. It wasn’t as big as I was expecting, but there was still some push.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Hello everyone, are you ready to experience an off-the-charts February session? Today was just amazing, enjoy!
No, this is not today, sorry. Welcome to the memory lane of February 17th. Today was really windy and with waves of 1-2 feet, definitely not worthy to share any photos of today… this is February 17th, 2019 at Santana.
Hello everyone, It’s Sunday Funday here at Santana. The waves were small but really fun, check it out!
