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
Hello Monday, We had some very much needed rain overnight that carried well into the late morning today. Conditions surf wise are a bit small and jumbled. But a few takers. @tonyzphotos reporting.
Hello and Happy Sunday, This morning I went straight to Panga drops expecting smaller surf but was surprised with more swell than anticipated. @tonyzphotos reporting.
Hey amigos! Josh back behind the lens for the next few days! Here is Wednesday morning’s action from Colorados. The surf gradually filled in through the day, but the sets were inconsistent and randomly sprinkled throughout the day.
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.
