Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hey everyone! Welcome to Tuesday evening’s surf report from Panga Drops. We had another day of marginal waves, but there were still a couple of decent waves right at sunset (again).
John hard carried the report yet again today. I appreciate seeing a sharp top-turn blast as opposed to roundhouses.
It wasn’t all fun and games out there. The wind was a bit side-shore so some of the sections would fold over quickly.
Although it wasn’t firing this evening, it was nice to see some faster waves running over the sandbar of French Fries. At least some faster runners add variety to the photo session haha.
The water was cold again today! This guy made the right move to bring and wear his spring-suit. He’s clearly done some due diligence prior to coming down.
Surfing on rail is the key to success at Pangas on shortboards.
That whitewater section better get ready for what’s coming!
Hey, would you lookey here! A head-high set wave!
John putting his down the line momentum to work with a strong bottom turn.
Schwappah! A good bottom turn sets up a solid top turn. (I know you’re getting tired of hearing me say this).
Woah, a rare left! Rights have definitely been dominating the lineup the past few days.
If you zoom in here, you can see the wind blowing the slush up and across the face. It wasn’t as easy as it looked out there this evening. Tomorrow looks pretty similar forecast-wise, but hopefully we get some lighter winds and a bit of a kick up in the size.
RECENT REPORTS
Hey amigos! Welcome to a special Friday surf report. Spot X made its first cameo of 2026.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Thursday’s late morning report from French Fries. The sun was shining and the shape of the waves was better today. The wind was also lighter! (Thankfully)
Hey everyone! Welcome to Wednesday’s surf report from French Fries. The surf was even smaller today and the wind was still strong. That being said the faces of the waves were still fairly smooth at French Fries. It is almost always more protected from the wind there than all other spots on the beach.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Feliz Lunes mi gente! Another week, or I should say the last week of February and we’ll be marching (pun intended) right into March in just the blink of an eye! Just in time for hopefully some of the first swell of the season to start making our way back to, yes, “our” favorite barreling wave..
Sunday Surf report coming up! The morning session was super fun today, a bit more energy in the water today and the water has warmed up a few degrees too! Come check it out..
Happy Saturday my friends! It was an interesting Saturday, well for me at least. Got up super early to check it, but didn’t seem to realize I had a complete flat tire on my moto until I drove up to the look out spot at the reef. It kinda shut me down for the morning,..
