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 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.
