Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hey everyone! Welcome to Saturday’s surf report from Colorados. The waves were a touch bigger today relative to yesterday, but overall not so big until low-tide in the evening. Oscar saw some folks swimming near a rip current and whipped out his beach patrol skills to let them know that it would be a bit safer to swim further South in the shallow water, as the drift was pulling hard toward the North today. Megan and Iguana Beach Patrol help keep visitors (and us residents) safe and informed regarding ocean conditions.
The boogeys were on the loose today. It was glassy, yet still dumpy barrels which are perfect for bodyboards.
Riley didn’t even have to paddle out before executing his first maneuver of the day.
Chazz was holding down the South peak river-mouth right today. He had the peak all to himself.
Riley is fun to surf with. His turns are crisp and he doesn’t sit still out there. He makes my job of showcasing the waves easy!
I told you the barrels were ripped up and a bit dumpy! The boogeys had it dialed in though. It’s nice to see bodyboarders capitalizing on waves that only they could make. Some waves are better for bodyboards and some for surfers. It depends on what the wave offers and the position of the various participants.
“It always feels like somebody’s watching me.” Haha
When confronting a soft section, it’s often best to flow through the turn instead of trying to “brute force” through the maneuver.

Chocoyo trading blows with the lip on this frothy left.
Chazzer lifting off down the beach. This was a pretty sick air. I just recently met Chazz, but I’d be willing to guess he skates as well as surfs given his technique during this air.
Jeyner doing his best to defy gravity like Chazz haha.
Today was a turn day not a barrel day. Hopefully more swell tomorrow when Don Tony Zeta returns to shooting.
This guy laid it all on the line during this turn. You can see it on his face haha!
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!
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Welcome to Thursday’s Surf Report! Today we went to Panga Drops just to mix it up a bit, we don’t want to bored you just with Colorado pictures. Enjoy!
Welcome to the humpday Wednesday surf report and we are expecting a little bump in the hump for the size of the waves to start ramping up. This morning a couple of hours before the low tide you could see some potential but the swell hasn’t started hitting hard quite yet..
Good afternoon and welcome to the Tuesday surf report. Went down to check it it super easy in the AM, but list nights rains had the water all mixed up with morning sickness and no one was out, so I decided to come back a little later… this is what I found.
