Somewhere in Nicaragua
Early indications are that the NSR boys are going to give Surfari Charters a run for their money this year when it comes to fishing this year. The recent weather pattern of offshores in the morning and onshores in the afternoon has really brought in the fish. The NSR crew went out on the “Manana” last Saturday afternoon and crushed the yellowfin tuna – 6 of them in about two hours. That’s over 100 lbs of primetime sashimi! (and we would’ve gotten even more if it didn’t get dark!) This is a shot of Pancho, CHEEEZE, Aram and Hot Carl holding up the spoils.
Hi everybody, this isLucha Libre from down here in Nicaragua reporting that last night we had the first rain of the year just as we thought.It was lightning and thundering all over the sky.Anyway today I made it to the NSR house and checked out what was happening with the surf.It’s chest to shoulder high on sets, the water is still pretty clear even with the rain from last night. The wind was light onshore super early in the morning but then came on strongabout 9:30 in the morning.Check out the lineup.
It was still raining a bit this morning but the rain didn’t stop the Virginia crew from padling out and riding a couple of fun waves.Here comes Bob “El Cebollas” on a nice looking wave.
Here goes Allen “Beez” taking a wave the other way.It was raining a lot when I was taking picture making it hard to get a lot of shots.
John “Juan Lago” was out there as well riding some small waves.Don’t worry my friends we are supposed to have real good surfing conditions in a couple of days.
It looks like Chuck “El Presidente” likes to be out there with these conditions because today he was killing it all by himself.Here he is working on his moves with the big panga.
RECENT REPORTS
Hey everyone! Welcome to Saturday evening’s surf report from Playa Colorado. The waves were so-so again today. Rippable, but not many tubes to be had. Here was one of the few set waves that opened up. The spectators know what’s up.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday’s surf report from Colorados. The waves were a touch smaller today, but had more kick than I was expecting. It didn’t really drop so much from yesterday.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Colorados. Surfline was wrong! The waves were bigger today, but not by the forecasted magnitude. A few tubes, but not up to expectations haha.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
After we had some good waves from yesterday today we went out for good surfing but we found onshore wind when we got there. There is still some swell in the water but we didn’t scored today, so tomorrow we are going to wake up early and will score for sure. It’s head high on..
OK, here we are on Sunday and we just got a new crew into the NSR Beach House. Left to Right we’ve got Larry, Johnny, Bobby and Lester-y. The waves are running a fun sized chest to head high. The crew hired out Roberto for the day and went home with some killer shots. Check..
The Popoyo Surf Torneo is ON! And over 250 spectators are fighting through it despite the onshore, stormy conditions. The swell is pushing in solid overhead crumblers and many of the competitors, who are not used to imperfection, are having trouble.
