Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hey there NSR fans… GUESS WHAT WE GOT BACK TODAY??? That’s right, the sun, no wind (not offshore, nor onshore which is a nice change) and some pretty big surf!! You’re in for a really nice treat today and you all deserve it for having to wait it out through all those stormy days.
The sets were coming in nice and consistent today. Lots of waves for everyone. Just keep a look out for those bomb sets that were coming in ever now and then. Could of been the ride of your life our there today!
This wave is undeniably fasssst! So there’s a lot to say about getting to you feet and into one of these beasts when it’s firing like this. That and the other portion requires the commitment. Colin’s got both.
My buddy visiting from CA, Brett is a pretty tall guy, standing well over 6 feet; so this gives you a good idea of how much good swell we had.
Another good size indicator. Lets just say, it was pumping!
The reef up the road was keging as well. Its also always a bit bigger up that way.
It was an all out barrel fest today. Tubes everywhere!
and very makable on most of them too!
Just ask Jamie. He’s not only the president, he’s also a member of tube town!”
The mysto shore pound showing her teeth today. I could hear this waves breaking all the way from my house, which is about a 10-15 min bike ride away inland. Sounded like thunder.
Everyone I talked to said that there was a lot of energy in this swell. Very heavy and thick.
Left or Right? Take your pick. Both ways were amazing today.
Back over to the reef. Now if you know this wave, it’s usually one of the windiest waves here (when it’s usually offshore). Not today. Sheet glass and perfect conditions. Not to mention really big too!
When the tide came up later in the morning there started to be a little more room on the wave face for some turns.
and some unique carving expression sessions.
That’s a lot of water displacement, Brett!! Sick one!!
Lesther cutting right through the crowds.
Can we raise our hands and get an AMEN for this amazing weather and surf today!!
But the biggest show today was all about them barrels.
and how incredibly glassy the water was. Our mini version of Nias!
There was a lot of carnage out there as well. A LOT! I counted 3 broken leashes and at least 4 or 5 broken boards.
Last parting shot and claim/wave of the day.. and rightfully so!! This guy was slotted all the way at the take off spot well before this sign and was barreled the whole way.
I’m sure a lot of people are exhausted and sore from all the sessions they put in today. But it was such a GREAT day for a change. It might be back to onshore possibly mañana, but today was such a treat and we loved every minute of it. I hope you all enjoyed too. Lets cross our fingers and see if we wake again to the see same thing all over again?? Rest up and hopefully we’ll see ya out there! Cheers ~

Hey everyone! Welcome to Saturday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. There was a window early today and right at sunset. At mid-day when I took pictures the wind kicked up making for better turn sections than tubes. Still a few if you knew where to look.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Hi there!!! we have waves like a envelope. The waves are small, but the offshore wind is so perfect and the waves too. The first thing I hear when I went to the beach its everybody have tubes. I say no way, but was true, I went out and my first wave was a tube..
Hello everybody and happy weekend to you! This is Parker bringing you the Saturday surf report. Our offshore winds were still howling so the swell lost a touch more than yesterday. Regardless, it still had a good size and great shape. Check it out amigos!
Hola amigos, Lucha Libre is back, this time from way up the coast. The waves were kinda small but still fun, running in the waist high range, winds were kinda strong offshore and the water was nice and clear. Check it out!!!
