Somewhere in Nicaragua
TGIF and Welcome to the Nicaragua Surf Report!!! Lets kick this weekend off properly and the only way to do that is with some really sick, super fun, big waves!! We had plenty of that today, so kick back grab yourself a cold one and lets do this!
I got down top the beach this morning to see well overhead sets with howling offshore winds. Not a bad sight to see when you get to your favorite beach.
This swell we have is pretty southerly angled, so we had some good lefts.
But the rights were firing just as good this morning.
Super fast and looked pretty hard to get into at times with all those hard offshores, but when you got into them, it was magic!
I purposely planned to get down there today as the tide was going out. I saw some really good size ones coming through when I first got there as the tide had just turned. But as the tide recessed, it seems like the swell was dipping a little too? But still some amazingly shaped surf nonetheless!
Even some room for some nice turns like this here.
But all in all… I’d have to say, today was all about getting shacked off your melon!
Like this dude here. Yeah, that’s a guy way back there in that frothy monster.
Our trademark offshore winds are what help make this wave so unique for a few different reasons. One being that it makes this wave so photo-friendly.
A lot of times too, your spray off the wave is magnified which makes your turns even more pronounced with water displacement.
Did I say it makes this place look ohhh so photogenic? Where would you rather go if you had to pick a surf spot for perfect conditions like this that happens pretty regularly?
Joel be coming around the mountain when he comes! Yeeehaaa!
I saw a lot of this out there this morning… and I have an almost entirely filled up 32GB CF card to prove it too! Hit us up herewww.surfnsr.com/pages/contact-nsrif you see OR think I might have gotten any shots of you out there today!
Same goes for the opposite angle. Can any of you diehard NSR fans guess who the tip of this board belongs to? Hit me up on the beach when you see me next and let me know if think you can guess it correctly.
The tide was going out pretty quickly, which made for some really cool looking below sea level drainers from one the many angles I was shooting from.
Same surfer, same wave, same cool angle.
On the flip side, I wish I had still been over shooting the rights when this one came through. That thing hit that new sandbar and Austin got super shacked on this wave.
I like how Abe is getting all Jerry Lopez on this mini-pipe left. Steezy buddy! Stoked to see you down hermano.
We had a super awesome surprise appearance over here today. My friends, please let me introduce the one and only “Baldo” Mr. Javier taking some time off from behind the lens and reports and actually putting some time in on the tabla.
So good to see you over here getting some super fun waves today buddy!! Nice little sequence my friend!
Speaking of sequences, I have the whole sequence of the wave that ate Mikes brand new Rusty today. The fact you’re smiling just goes to show how cool you are in person. I, on the other hand might have been breaking down on the beach and crying haha! Good to see ya out there ripping and always so positive Señor Doan!
I’m sure you have some plans for the big weekend, and perhaps you might have already made your way to sidebar for todays/tonights event which is already going on the “Craft Beer Night” and CAMPO Party. Featuring DJ Whiskerz & $5 burgers. If not, make your way over for some good times, food and entertainment.
I think it’s only natural to follow up a beer party promotion with a BIG FAT Frothy party barrel wave. Like this one here! F R O T H Y !
I’m not one for leaving out my soldiers, (aka-photog comrades) Parker was out there slaying some tubes as well. The thing you have to remember or keep in mind is that he’s damn near 9 feet tall, so this wave was well overhead for all you mortal surfer people out there! Parker is a Giant – see how little that guy looks on the inside..jajaja!
Here comes the gentle giant, hair and all! Good to see ya out there having fun bud!
You can’t have an all purpose surf report if we don’t report what’s going to effect our surf here. That’s right. This is the machine that’s helping our sand bars out front come to life right now. By the time I wrapped up shooting, we had more river water washing into the ocean and with it, all the sand in-between. Sand = sandbars. Sandbars = happy surfers!
This is the close to my pre-weekend barrel fest happy hour get down with your bad self surf reporting for the day. Hope you enjoyed the waves.. check back in tomorrow for more, because there’s plenty more where those came from and we have plenty more on tap again mañana according to the reports! Be safe out there tonight and we’ll see ya back here hopefully bright and early! Yewwww ~
