Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hello everybody!! This is Parker logging in with the new swell’s shots on a fresh NSR report. If you like tubes, do yourself a favor and keep scrolling down.
The last couple days were true down days with small waves and variable winds. Now, the interval and size both kicked up to a normal range. It’s ok, that small break was appreciated after a heavy week and a half of surf! And now we are back to it once again.
Carlos Perez always stays on it and seldom takes a break. Maybe the local boys surf so well because they are always on it. You judge his wave and tell me.
Clearly, his water hours pay off. I think it’s a three way tie between him, Lesther, and Kevin for the best frontside barrel rider. Butttttt I’ve had a couple sessions watching Carlos take off deep, go super deep, drive through those deep sections, and get spat out…
For the last swell, the northern peak was sending non stop freight train rights. Now that there is a different direction, a different peak is working. This beach break always keeps you on your toes!! If you’re visiting, a good healthy surf check will pay off compared to a frothy dash to the line up.
And you can still fill your quota of rights! If you want to go left, set up a boat and hit the various reefs/points.
All those rippable waves will help with sequences like these.
It wasn’t ONLY barrels today ladies and gents…
This unknown surfista gashed the lip off and nearly splashed the line up from inside. Nice turn amigo!
Meanwhile, Hot Carl was tube hunting. Yesterday, he spent all day under water in a freediving class so it makes sense that he still wants to hang out underwater again today.
This photo is even better than the last because we have double the Carlos’ hanging out under the lip!!!
I guess if you live in NICA Land and your name is Carlos, you get your fair share of tubes.
And turning the female’s heads…
He’s an amazing surfer in the barrel and knows this wave so well. For the fifth time today bro, sick wave!
Maybe it’s his infectious smile, jokes in the line up, or BA barrel riding but he’s a fun guy to surf with.
As usual, a few lefts came through and Josh Springfield picked off this one. I’m surprised I didn’t see him manhandling the rights but maybe he wanted to change it up and go frontside.
Sorry Josh, I couldn’t figure out which photo I liked better so I threw them both up. I hope you understand!!
Alright damas and caballeros, the swell is super fun right now and the sun is getting tolerable. That means it’s time to wrap things up and find our way down to the beach. We appreciate all of you guys checking out the surf report for southern Nicaragua and we hope you cruise into your weekend. As we think about our weekends here, keep Casa Maderas (Saturday night fiesta) and Casa Ananas (Mother’s Day dinner) on your radar- more info to come this weekend. Nos vemos pronto!!
RECENT REPORTS
Hey everyone! I hope you all had a great Fourth! Saturday’s report is coming your way from Colorados as per usual. It was smaller today, but very shreddable. Still a few tubitos too.
Happy 4th of July! The size of the surf dropped notably today. There were still good sets, but patience was key (again). Hard to believe there were no takers on this one!
Hey amigos! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. I saw some of the biggest sets of the year today. There were epic moments, but it was still a bit slow between the high quality waves.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Hello everybody and welcome to the midweek surf report at NSR! This is Parker uploading today’s fun morning session. Check out our shots!
Hello everyone and welcome back for your Monday NSR surf report. Today the surf dropped a bit but it’s okay, the waves are still super fun running anywhere from knee to head high. The water is warm and blue and we have brisk offshore winds. Nice line up shot to start us out.
Team NSR would like to wish all las Mamas out there a happy Mothers Day. Today was the second day of our trip up North and the waves continued to roll in. The waves ran in the shoulder to head high range with stronger off-shores allowing for some more tube time. Check it out!
