Somewhere in Nicaragua
It’s a new week so Happy Monday everyone! Waves weren’t working that great today, so ended up shooting later in the afternoon, with hopes to maybe the wind dying down. What was different was that the winds were blowing hard out of the north. A sure sign of the storm systems off shore, and also pulling winds from all kinds of directions as there are a lot of hurricane and wet rainy weather patterns along the Pacific and the Caribbean side, so the winds will be a but funky for a little while, unfortunately. But still some ripping surfing out there, so the content won’t be as stagnant as the thick humidity air at least. Enjoy ~
As long as there’s swell, there will always be people out surfing!
Doesn’t matter which direction the wind is blowing. Besides, most people come from places that are predominately onshore most the time anyways, so it’s like going on vacation and surfing this place like your home break, only it’s super tropical, warm and you’ll probably never want to leave!
Pipeline has the Volcom House, we have our own version. Not a bad view for the surprisingly rad surfing that was going down.
Like this, here!!!
I tell you, and I don’t think it’s my imagination, but I think they’re starting to surf younger and younger each year. Look at that little guys face…. ALL GAME FACE!
This older kid who is actually probably not even 10 yet, seen surfing here like he’s been surfing for 10 years already.
The big boys were out there having fun with the northerly winds
Taking these waves by surprise, as the wind blowing out of the north only happens once in a while, to almost never.
It was great for the air team out there for sure!
Walking the beach from the cliffs south before Amarillo to the north at Los Perros as the sun sets is one of the best things you can do here on any given sunset! Adíos Monday! We’ll see you again tomorrow Tuesday.Saludos ~
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
Happy Sunday Funday surf fans! Today was another beautiful day in sunny southern Nicaragua. Crystal blue water, surf was in the small but still playful fun zone, which brought out all the people and families to enjoy this magnificent beach in Hacienda Iguana. Enjoy ~
All the surfers were waking up this morning like kids on Christmas, we weren’t sure what was waiting for us when we went downstairs. We just knew it was gonna be something good.
Bienvenidos surfistas del mundo a un nuevo día en las lindas playas de Nicaragua llenas de buenas olas!
