Somewhere in Nicaragua
We’ve got fun little waves out here at Maderas today. It’s about chest high on sets, the water is warm and the wind is offshore. We’ve got a macking swell coming later next week so now is the time to ride the shortboards. After around Wednesday or so we should have well overhead waves for a couple of weeks. Oh yeah. In the meantime, here’s Matt from SF.
Since the waves were small today, we decided to run a “chick” theme. (we thought you might like that) This is Pamela from Newcastle. She’s visiting Nicaragua to help count the turtles.
Here’s Annie, looking smiley as ever. Even though it was small, it was super fun.
This is Arianna. She’s a jet fighter pilot just off from Iraq. She’s here to try her hand at surfing.
Hey Fox, this one’s for you!
This is Juliette from NYC. She is down here scouting locations for their next photo documentary. It’s going to be about the elusive Nicaraguan Scuttlebug – a small crustacean that steals car keys.
OK, there were some fun waves too. This is Stan the man with a plan from Iran. No wait, he wasn’t really from Iran. I don’t even think he has a plan. He did catch a nice wave in front of the old guy.
RECENT REPORTS
Hello and thanks for checking in with us. Sunday Had some fun surf at Panga Drops. We had some strong winds and a little bit of wait between waves, but if you were in the right spot you had a nice ride. @tonyzphotos reporting.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Saturday evening’s surf report from French Fries. Today was very small. The smallest day of waves I’ve seen in weeks. It’s the smallest day we’ll probably see for a good two weeks. If Surfline is right then the Easter bunny is bringing swell.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday’s surf report from French Fries. The waves were small, but it was kinda pumping at this peak this morning!
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Didn’t go to the beach today. The winds were still onshore and the waves are small. Bummed.
