Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hey everyone. Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from main peak Pangas. The wind was a bit lighter today which was nice, but the size was still fairly small.
John caught the vast majority of the waves that rolled through during my photo window this morning.
Backside cutbacks were the move on the menu today. If you surf Pangas long enough, then roundhouses will eventually become your bread and butter haha.
John wasn’t the only spamming backside carves today haha! I like this guy’s forward leverage and style here.
A rare left. Notice how John is starting to compress as he drops down the face of the wave.
The compression from the prior frame is what enabled John to uncoil and drive through his bottom turn up the face of the wave.
Bam! Compression —> Good bottom turn —> Powerful top turn / lip blast
This frame more accurately depicts Pangas haha. Soft sections and rolling waves. Those steeper section from the earlier frames are rare opportunities that you’ve gotta capitalize on.
Bruno going with the flow, and the foam, on this right.
John did so many backside cutbacks today that I think he will be doing them in his dreams tonight haha.
If you want to work on your turns on mid-length or longer gear, then you can see that Pangas is an excellent training ground.
You can see in this frame that it was relatively glassy and not too windy out there today. This guy did well to score this gem of a wave. I’m optimistic on tomorrow, as the wind is forecasted to be rather light. So check back in tomorrow for more shredding and waves from paradise.
RECENT REPORTS
Hey amigos! I’ve got another flashback surf report for this Saturday (ongoing technical difficulties). Today in 2025 the waves weren’t so bad. It was really windy, but the direction was straight offshore. It wasn’t so different from this pic from 2024 that you see here.
Hi everyone! Welcome to February 21st’s historical surf report review! Due to technical issues, today’s report will revisit conditions from the past 7 years, instead of showing you today’s conditions. Today was fairly windy, and the water was slightly cooler. But when compared to the photos you’ll see, you’ll note just how windy it was..
Hi everyone! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Panga Drops. The sunset window was so-so, but yesterday morning was fun. The wind direction was good this evening though.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Hey everyone welcome back to the surf report today was a fun tiny wave day down here at Pangas everyone out there looked like they were having a blast catching wave after waves and there was only a hand full of surfers out there and they were some really good surfers practicing all there tricks..
Hey there, welcome to one of the only unique Tuesdays that every single one of us will 99.9% never see again in our lifetimes…. No it’s not waves, but it is 02/02/2022. So if you’re a fan of numbers, like me, then It just makes todays report all that much more cooler!
Hola and Happy Monday amigos! Today we had a day of search and constant observation of “when are the surfers going to appear”, kind of day. Unfortunately, after checking many many times throughout the day, I decided maybe it’s just better to show you how nice the waves were (that is before the high offshore..
