Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hi there, we are the NSR family bringing you the action from out here at Playa Maderas. Today we headed out to the beach in the morning expecting to score some fun waves with the incoming tide and we did. The wind keeps blowing strong offshore and the water is still super cold down here in Nicaragua. The waves were running about waist to chest high with some sporadic shoulder high waves on sets and not many people were out.
This morning was a little bit overcast making tough for photos. We also were feeling the cool winds all over the place but these weather patterns didn’t stop the locals. Here we have a shot of “La Gaviota” Chamorro trying to warm up a little bit with this aerial move.
Not many girls were out this morning but we want to share this shot with you because it is a good example to follow. If you guys want to go out surfing this time of the year, it is a very good idea to wear on your full wetsuit to keep warm. For those who wants to know the water is between 60 – 65 degrees at Maderas right now. It is a little bit warmer up towards Popoyo, but not much.
On the last shot of the day we have “La Bestia” Calderon destroying a mushy wave. The waves should be about the same size for the next few days but we are expecting to have a solid swell next week. You still have time to organize a quick trip through NSR Rentals down here to Nicaragua and score many sick waves with your friends. Send us an email and we can set you guys up!!!
RECENT REPORTS
Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday evening’s surf report from French Fries. After a long streak of very fun waves, the conditions were finally sub-par. Still ride-able at French Fries though.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Thursday afternoon’s surf report from Pangas and French Fries. The swell didn’t drop nearly as much as forecasted, but it was a little bit smaller. It was very clean and pulsing while I took pictures.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Wednesday evening’s surf report from Colorados. Surprisingly, the past couple days of swell were just powerful enough for some decent waves to break at our favorite spot.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
We’ve got Roberto “Lucha Libre” Garcia with the surf report from out here at Maderas today. It’s supposed that the swell was still building but today when we made it to the beach we didn’t found bigger waves than yesterday. Anyway, it was big enough to have so much fun. It’s head high on sets,..
We’ve got
We’ve got a nice bump in the swell today. It’s running about chest high or so and the wind is offshore. This is the amazingly consistent Playa Santana – a short walk from the NSR Casita.
