Somewhere in Nicaragua
It rained all night and the winds have been swirly. We woke up this morning and did not know what to expect as far a conditions go. As it turned out, the swell dropped off a lot and the winds came onshore early. Evidently, there is a tropical system developing off the coast of Salvador and that is affecting our weather. I hope it’s gone by this weekend.
We look around a bit this morning and finally settled on Playa Colorado…and it seemed like everybody else did too. Unfortunately, it was somewhat of a zoo out there and the beginners were taking off on everyone by claiming ignorance. Here is Farrell from SF, getting burned.
Here is mr brown, on his last day…getting burned.
One more wave, one more burn. This is the Viking, getting burned by a BODYSURFER! Yes, Playa Colorado is often a zoo, but people, this isn’t how we want to do things down here.
RECENT REPORTS
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.
Hello Monday, we had some rain overnight and some on and off drizzle during the day. This has been making for light winds and a relief from the heat. @tonyzphotos reporting.
Happy Sunday and Father’s Day to all the papas out there. We have some inconsistent surf in the waist to shoulder high range. @tonyzphotos reporting.
