PLAYA COLORADO
With last night’s full moon, the tide was coming fast, and this is how it looks at mid-tide!
It’s unusual to see white caps on top of the indicator, and when you see it, get ready because it’s coming baby!
The sets were big, heavy, fast and scary, but also beautiful.
With just a few surfers in the water, there were many, many perfect waves gone unridden.
There were less than 10 surfers in the water, most of them getting some really nice barrels.
Most of the waves in between sets had a great shape and better suit for riding them.
People around the world are staying inside… well, the local surfers are just trying to follow the rules.
The foreigners that call Colorado Home are just doing the same.
@Carlosdecolorados was out… actually in, because he spent more time in the shade than out in the sun.
Jason was another local scoring some of the barrels of the day.
Check out Carlos with a gnarly vertical drop on this perfect left.
Followed by a gnarly full-speed barrel.
Today’s winner of the Ride of the Day award goes to Jason… here he’s setting up his line.
Since the beginning he knew he had picked the right line, he started to celebrate right away!
Holding the line and controlling the speed while enjoying the view.
He went deep inside the monster’s throat.
And he stayed tall and committed all the way until the monster’s fangs went down blocking his way out. It was beautiful!
Second place goes to Carlos on this beautiful right. Check out the sequence:
It was a fast one so Carlos was pumping his way through it.
He’s just a master of speed control… dancing on the line between hitting the gas to pass a section and stalling to get deeper in the barrel.
Stalling…
… and putting the pedal to the metal.
And getting out right before getting eaten.
Namaste Sensei Carlos.
I hope today’s report fullfilled its purpose of lifting your mood and taking away all your worries, at least for a few minutes. Stay safe everyone, remember that these waves will be waiting for all of you once this troubled times are behind us. Saludos!
RECENT REPORTS
Hey amigos! Welcome to Saturday’s surf report from Colorados. The waves were very similar to yesterday and Thursday. A few make-able tubes on the sets and overall playful conditions.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday’s surf report from Playa Colorado! The waves were similar size to yesterday. Shoulder high on the sets, but smaller in between.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. The size dropped even more today, but there were still a few finale sets that rolled through in the morning. I guess everyone was burned out from the last swell as the crowd was light all day long.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Happy Monday everyone! Welcome to what it looks like it will be a great week of surfing here in Nicaragua.
Happy Sunday ya’ll!! The surf was on the small side, but for a Sunday Funday, I have to say it was a pretty F U N D A Y ! !
¡Hola a todos y welcome back to the afternoon surf report for Saturday on this magnificent weekend! Today the swell dropped off quite a bit compared to yesterday, but people still showed up – including myself; looking for that magic window that can make a sub par day turn into something special.
