Somewhere in Nicaragua
All good things must come to an end – today is the first day this year that we received onshore winds here in Nicaragua. It was actually clean in the morning and then proceeded to blow light onshore from the afternoon on. I guess the kind of good news is that the onshore winds were accompanied by almost complete flatness in the Pacific (this is also unusual here). I snapped some shots to prove how flat it really was – it was probably ridable-flat at Maderas this morning. Check it out.
This is the biggest and only wave that came in during the half hour period I spend waiting. It’s about waist high. No need to post many pictures today…check back later.
RECENT REPORTS
Hey everyone! Welcome to Saturday evening’s surf report from Colorados. The wind was only favorable early in the morning and at sunset. We lucked out that some rain came through and cleaned up the surf.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday evening’s surf report from Colorados. The size was up some this evening, but the wind direction was a bit side-shore, so there was some light texture and bump.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. This evening was very similar to yesterday. Arguably a touch smaller this evening, but mid-day had some decent sets.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Once again the waves have held overhead and all the spots are firing. The winds were back to the normal offshores today too, not the hurricane force we’ve been having. After a long bus ride in from CR, we had a Schlek sighting…trying to adjust without a wetsuit.
