Somewhere in Nicaragua
OK, so the new swell came a bit early and arrived late afternoon yesterday. When we got to the beach this morning the waves were solid double overhead, but unfortunately, the winds were variable to light onshore the whole day. We did get some semi-clean waves in the morning, but we weren’t able to find the barrels we were hoping for. Regardless, we got waves.
Here is a shot of the horizon when we showed up to the beach.
It’s a good thing Shlek likes ’em big…
This one lined up really nice…
Check out the size of this set wave…and all of us trying to get under it before the next one!
Shlek spent the day catching the big ones…
Here is a shot of the Outer Reef before we paddled out. It was pushing triple overhead on sets. I broke my board on my first wave and had to watch the rest of the day on the beach. (Can somebody please bring me down a 7’6” before the next swell?)
RECENT REPORTS
Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday’s surf report from Playa Colorado! The waves were similar size to yesterday. Shoulder high on the sets, but smaller in between.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. The size dropped even more today, but there were still a few finale sets that rolled through in the morning. I guess everyone was burned out from the last swell as the crowd was light all day long.
Hey everyone! Josh back behind the lens for the next few days. The swell definitely dropped slightly overnight, but as you can see there were still some gems!
