Somewhere in Nicaragua
Good day my friends and welcome to the Monday surf report. As suggested after writing up yesterdays late afternoon report, I decided to make it down for the early bird special AND man, was it quite special! Take a peek and you can decide for yourselves. Enjoy ~
All things lead to that wonderful place known as the ocean. The sun’s been up for about an hour already, but these two fellas are making their way down in typical Nicaraguan fashion. Nica time.
But what they saw had them stoked to be out early and ready to get into some of this fun stuff!
The peaks were reeling in from point to point. The further north you headed the emptier it got too.
John G slip sliding into his last wave of the morning. He’s always out there pre-dawn (aka even before first light), unfortunately I need to wait until about 6:45ish preferably around 7 is when that light comes over the hilltop. otherwise, it’s too dark to get nice crispy tac sharp pics like this. Nice one JG!!!
The tide was also filling in fast, so there was some funkiness and warble to some of the waves. This one’s definitely got some juice to it tho!
On the flip side, this right looks quite alright. Meaning a little more navigable. Plus look how clear and glass that water looks. Was super dreamy out there this morning.
The only wedgy that’s a good wedgy!
Aaaaaand that’s probably gonna leave a mark??? OUCH!
Tom Petty said it best…. “Now I’m free. . . Free fallin’ “.
Person 1: getting the best view while paddling out.Person 2: getting the better view while traveling through tube town.
Yup, it was one of those kinds of days. Time for another “Mystery Barrel Surfer”.
It is technically now our winter here in the southern hemisphere. So this is about as close as you’ll ever see anyone schralping some winter mountain snow!
What??? Cheater 5 on a board that’s somewhere in the 5 foot (something) range. And getting shackle-toned at the same time. Steezy my friend, very steezyl!
Some lady barrel hunters out there amongst all the cavemen.
You’ve seen him on countless surf reports (Jackson), usually in big square, throaty barrels.
I had many a photo of him from today, as he ALWAYS puts on a great show every time he paddles out, but this sone sequence stood out as one of my fav’s today!
Around 8ish or so, I felt those side shore winds start to pick up a little bit. You can see by the ripples on the wave face that Matt’s absolutely slaying on this super sick right!
We don’t have “Chope’s” here (well there is a secret spot I do know of that I’ll never tell you about) that breaks exactly like it, but on a little downsized version and it’s a right, but still super gnarly and you better be super advanced surfer to surf it. Anyhow, my point being is that Tahiti has a place known as “the end of the road” and here’s the end of the road of this wave for this hombre. Nice exit rout dude! Well played.
It even deserved a fist pump, from “Fist Pump Productions” Jaja But it was a great session!!!!
Always hard to pack it up while watching the waves still pump away. BUT we’ll aways have tomorrow. I will see you all then.

Hey amigos! Welcome to Saturday’s surf report from Panga Drops. It was a bit smaller today, so the surfers hit the spot with more push. Colorados was pretty small at dead low-tide.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. The wind was blowing from the West, but there were still a few shreddable waves in the late afternoon.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Thursday evening’s surf report from Colorados. The wind was a little bit wonkier this evening, but the size of the surf was similar to yesterday.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Welcome to the Sunday & also another killer Funday out there as the non-stop Epic swells for May continue to pump down here in Nicaragua. Enjoy ~
