Somewhere in Nicaragua
Happy weekend everybody!! This is Hotstick Hannahs and SBS tag teaming today’s report. Although the waves weren’t all time, the reef was fun so check it out!
The swell is totally gone but the magnet still picks up any pulses. The beachie might be chest/shoulder high but it’s almost head high here.
However, you trade size for shape. Go get a smaller but critical wave south or a big roller up north. Variety, or sazon completa, is the spice of life.
Turn number two. When the interval kicks up (next swell), you’ll see longer walls marching to the beach. As for now, it’s mushy, playful, and peaky.
There aren’t many better feelings than taking the wave all the way to the beach. Except, enjoy that paddle back out…
For a Saturday morning, the crowds were light. A handful of guys were trading off waves while the other handful were hanging off to the side. This is a tricky wave to figure out so it wouldn’t be a horrible idea to hang back and see how the wave works. Or… charge straight in and figure it out!
Some other chargers were playing on the beach too. By all standards, today was a beautiful morning: light offshores, cool water to freshen up, and not a cloud in the sky.
Roger Hoch, the beloved CSO of the EMHEC, snagged a couple. Personally, even though the rights are less consistent, I’m looking for those. However, Roger picked off a handful of faster left shoulders.
Tim Walker made it out for a few as well. He’s an all around cool guy to share a lineup with. Ask him about a couple stories in between sets.
Ok damas and caballeros, SBS and I appreciate you giving us a minute of your Saturday to check out our shots. Stay tuned through a mellow week coming up and stay even more tuned once that swell arrives. Pasa un buen fin de semana primos!!
RECENT REPORTS
Hey amigos! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Colorados. I saw the waves turn on and off about 7 separate times today. The conditions were in constant flux. It just so happened to be that the best window of the day was when I took pictures around 1:00pm.
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.

Hi there, this is Lucha Libre Garcia with your Tuesday surf report. The waves were super, super, super fun this morning. Head high sets were rolling in, winds were steady offshore, partly cloudy making it hard for photos, and the water was a bit too cold for the locals. Check it out!!!
