Somewhere in Nicaragua
New swell today!!! We started off the morning with slightly overhead sets and by this afternoon, it was pumping solid double overhead. The winds were light offshore and perfect all day long.
Here is an empty from this morning…
After a few days in Nicaragua, Shlek was starting to get his legs under him. This is why we call him
…and of course, every time I looked up, Roque was getting barreled.
The waves came up so much, we grabbed a few friends and decided to check this new spot that seemed like it might work on a big swell…and it was firing! …at least until my leash broke and my board washed up on the rocks. (TG, if you are reading this, please make me a new 6’3”)
Here is Oliver picking off a big one…
Here is our friend Sven from Sweden connecting through to the inside. Nice one Sven!
As far as we know, this place has never been surfed before, so we are going to call it
RECENT REPORTS
Hey amigos. Welcome to Thursday’s late morning report from Colorados. It was clean this AM, but notably smaller. The sets still had enough size to offer up tubitos.
Hey amigos! Josh back behind the lens for the next few days. Wednesday was a let down compared to what was forecasted. It was not 4ft @ 16 sec as projected by Surf-lie haha. The sets were good when they came, but there was one quality set every 20 minutes roughly. It was a waiting..
Hello Tuesday, I checked Colorado in the morning hoping the new swell was going to be showing, but didn’t see much happening yet. So decided to check Panga drops up the beach our local swell magnet. @tonyzphotos reporting.
