Somewhere in Nicaragua
First of all, don’t get too excited – this photo isn’t from today, it’s a photo we took about two years ago on a day that is largely responsible for our decision to move down here. This photo is of Mr. Brown and has just come out in the latest issue of Surfer’s Journal – a two page spread! Check it out if you get a chance, there’s also a good shot of Lance from Surfari Charters (who is once again confused with D. Hobgood) Special thanks to Dean who wrote the article!
Now, back to reality…it’s still pretty flat out at Playa Santana today. The wind was light early and light onshore by mid-day. There might be a rideable wave somewhere, but it’s not really working here.
Here’s a shot looking up the reef – the onshore winds bring in the fish and folks have been tearing up the Snapper out here. Hopefully this pattern will change tomorrow…
RECENT REPORTS
Hey everyone! Welcome to Wednesday’s surf report from Colorados. The waves were better by all measurable metrics today. It was still walled up and slow, but there were definitely some 10 pointers to be had.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Tuesday evening’s surf report from Colorados. The swell was bigger and stronger today, but it was very slow between the sets. I think the lack of a secondary swell combined with the sandbars not being in perfect shape made for long waits.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Monday evening’s surf report from Colorados. It wasn’t as big as I was expecting, but there was still some push.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Taking the day off…but still taking some pictures. We went to Maderas today and found some small, but fun waves. The winds were gusty and offshore again and the water is damn cold. If you don’t believe me, check out the guy in the fullsuit!
