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 amigos! Welcome to Tuesday evening’s surf report from Panga Drops. The swell came up some today, but the wind was vicious and ripping all day until sunset. Kai found some of the better waves this evening.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Monday evening’s surf report from the sandbar peaks around Panga Drops. French Fries had a few waves, as pictured here, but most of the action was at the southern sandbar.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Sunday evening’s surf report from Panga Drops. A new peaked showed up closer to Costa Mar and was the main attraction. The wind cleaned up and there was a tiny bit more size than yesterday.
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.
