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 and Happy Monday, the weather system has arrived. We have some big surf and strong winds ripping through the area. @tonyzphots reporting.
Hello and Happy Sunday funday, We have some fun surf running and the winds are swirling around. @tonyzphotos reporting.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Saturday’s mid-afternoon surf report from Colorados. The wind came onshore mid-morning, but after a rain shower we lucked out with some still wind. It wasn’t very consistent, but the sets were sick when they came through. Look how thick the lips were on the sets / double-ups!
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.
