Somewhere in Nicaragua
Happy Friday people! Got down to the playa fully amped as the waves were looking to be turning on…. and then I got totally denied. Pull in to take a look!
The winds were calm, it was actually pretty glassy. The waves were groomed up really nicely and some sets were starting to show.
And then out of nowhere this ominous dark beast came sailing in quick from inland.
Here’s one of the those beauties I was trying to describe a minute ago. So beautiful. So clean. So unridden???
There were a few heads up at the reef. This wave doesn’t really come close to doing it justice to some of the bombs I watched a little earlier that were freight training through.
With everything coming together for what was looking to be a really epic sunset session, here’s Jacksons first wave right after he just paddled out.
Second wave but almost exactly same view and almost identical reeling right hand wave.
Drop kneeing and hand stalling, setting up for something really nice.
Like really NICE!!!
The cover up was and is usually always longer than I can show you with just individual slides.
But he was in there for a good couple of seconds.
Of course, if it’s Jackson surfing, you can almost always count on him coming out too!
Here’s his exit from his first wave.
That’s two perfect draining rights back to back!
This was right about when I felt that eerily cold whirling wind start to hit my back and I knew what was coming.
Yup… talk about frustration. The waves were just turning on and now it was a race against time and mother nature at this point.
Well, she won this time! But I’m stoked to have been able to get what I did. The rain never let up and is still coming down as I write this… BaaaahHumbug!!! hahaha. I wonder how the boys faired with the rest of their sunset…. errr, well we’ll just call it dusk session??? It was short, but it sure was petty impressive for about 20 min, at least for me… the camera dude! Saludos ~
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
Good afternoon everybody! This is Parker welcoming y’all to the pumping Wednesday surf report. Get comfy in your chair and enjoy the shots.
Hey there, welcome to todays surf report. We had some fun waist to head high surf with a mild crowd in the late morning to early mid day. Check it!
First peak was a great spot to be, at the beginning when the tide was still kind of low it was small with A-frame peaks.
