Somewhere in Nicaragua
The waves were so good yesterday, we decided to take the Heli straight into Rancho Santana today to save time. We’d like to thank Capt. Tom for the ride – dude, that was cool.
The swell dropped off a bit from yesterday, but we still had some head high sets coming in and the winds were offshore all day long.
Here is a shot of Mike M. throwing off a nice spray.
Popoyo was fun today too. Remember, the first ever contest here will be held on May 21st and 22nd. Contact the Tola Alcaldia for more info.
Timing the sets for the paddle out.
Set wave at Popoyo.
We’d like to give a NSR shout-out to Lincoln from So Cal. Nice wave Lincoln!
And also, a shout out to all the surfer girls out there!
And finally…What do you do when your wave is closing out and there is a Photographer on the beach?
Straighten out? No way! You smile at him, point a finger and pull in. Nice work Unser.
RECENT REPORTS
Hey amigos! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Colorados. I saw the waves turn on and off about 7 separate times today. The conditions were in constant flux. It just so happened to be that the best window of the day was when I took pictures around 1:00pm.
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.
