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
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.
Hey everyone! Josh back behind the lens for a few days. The swell today is the largest it has been in about two weeks. It was still slow between the sets, but there were a few one hour windows and pulses.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Didn’t go to the beach today. The winds were still onshore and the waves are small. Bummed.
