Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hey everyone. Welcome to Saturday evening’s surf report from Playa Colorado. The waves faded quickly today in terms of size relative to yesterday, but we received a surprise pulse of sets right at sunset.
This guy better transition back over his toe-side rail quick or his fate is sealed.
Dani working on his rail game and chucking some buckets at the other surfers out the back. Watch out!
This guy here has the right approach. Eyes on the prize (lip-line and exit). Compressed stance with back knee forward some. Good set up to enjoy the vision.
Jackson in attack mode throwing his tail and fins out the back with style. Everyone likes to see a critical end section maneuver.
Could be more than water coming over this guy’s head in a second lol. For those coming to visit and reading this, please do your best to only seriously paddle for waves that you have a realistic chance of making. Also use sound judgment in deciding how much to “back someone up” when they are in a better position than you. Lapses of judgment on the part of visitors have been common so far this year.
This guy really wanted to stall! He used as much surface area as possible to create drag here.
I always get excited when I see girl surfers take really good approaches on hollow waves. That is the next frontier for women’s surfing, good barrel riding IMO. This chica nailed the set-up and line here.
It was hollow this evening, but you had to draw forth your inner contortionist skills to fit into the mini-tubes.
Rights dominated the lineup, but there were some sick lefts too.
No barrel left behind.
A little ahead of the section, but a good wave and decent approach from the surfer. Opening his hips, front foot and torso more might’ve helped him take a slower and tighter line.
Become one with the lip haha! That wraps up today’s report. The waves surprised to the upside at sunset. Hopefully more pleasant surprises tomorrow. That being said it’s forecasted to be fairly small. Anyways catch ya tomorrow.
RECENT REPORTS
Hey amigos! Welcome to Wednesday’s surf report from Colorados. The waves were smaller today, but the sets still had a bit of size. The conditions were very clean. The smoothest and most well groomed waves that I saw this week.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Tuesday afternoon’s surf report from Colorados. It was likely the last day of large-ish surf for a while. It took patience and good positioning, but there were some great barrels made today.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Monday’s plus-size swell report from Colorados. There were some good windows throughout the day, but you still needed to be patient and in the right place at the right time. Some epic ones to be found though.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Hey everybody! Josh here, back behind the lens, bringing you June 1st’s surf action from Playa Colorado. The epic tubes have stopped for now, and we are running into our first onshore spell of this year. My buddy Yuji wasn’t deterred by the relatively lackluster conditions.
Welcome friends to the new month of June! Like clockwork and as expected, our dearly beloved favorite wave of the Emerald Coast turned onshore and will be like this (so the forecast says) for about the next 9 or 10 days (if you’re counting today as the first day), which it literally is! Get ready..
Welcome back for the Tuesday surf report. Brian back at it looking for the best window of opportunity for the best photos of the day. Today started out with a lot of ripped out fast moving current and a lot of water moving around. Besides there not being any surfers out, until the later afternoon,..
