Somewhere in Nicaragua
Happy 4th of July everybody. This is Pancho here with your Sunday Surf Report. After our recent run of killer waves and big barrels, we find ourselves in another unfortunate, onshore weather pattern. The swell is actually pumping right now, way overhead on sets, but the wind is junking it all up. If you know where to go, it’s still kind of fun in the mornings before the winds pick up. As usual, these kind of conditions make it fun to hang out in SJDS and surf the schwag in the bay. Check it out!
The 4th of July, San Juan Del Sur style!
Skimboarding has arrived here in SJDS and there are a couple of kids getting pretty good at it. Whenever I try this, I end up on my ass.
Here’s a scenic shot from the bayfront in SJDS. I didn’t surf today but trust me, it gets pretty fun out there if you keep an open mind.
Here’s the SUP’r, riding a small one to the beach. There’s always something to do in the ocean.
Here at NSR, we work with our local photographers and help teach them English. Doing the daily surf report in a second language is no easy task. Miguel originally did today’s report and ended up changing a lot of it. We’ll go over it in the morning so he’ll learn from it. His last comment was too funny to erase so I’m going to leave it up. Please don’t take offense to it – it’s just a language barrier thing. I’m still cracking up…”On the last shot of the day we have this photo. The States Unidos have bit party today because today is Indecency day of the US, congratulation all people of the States Unidos and we hope that you have Happy Indecency day. Alright folks this is all for today. We hope to have some better waves tomorrow. Please check back with us!”
On a different note, we wanted to let everyone know that NSR is now renting the BEST house in Rancho Santana – Cinco Banditos. This is a new home that has 5 master bedrooms, a pool, a ping-pong table, epic furnishings, automatic back-up system that even runs the AC, flat screen tv, staff for cooking and cleaning, etc. It sleeps up to 9 people and starts at only $250/night. If all those things don’t blow you away, the view will – this place is NICE.If you are looking for an upscale experience or if you are bringing your lady and want her to be comfortable (you get to surf more), be sure to check out Cinco Banditos.

RECENT REPORTS
Welcome to 2025 everyone! Happy New Year! Josh back behind the lens for the next few days. I basically pulled an all-nighter and woke up early to surf after the late night fiesta. The lineup was empty even at 8:00am and the waves were fun. I surfed then took photos.
Happy Tuesday and the final report of 2024. It was another fun day of waist to occasionally bigger surf at Playa Colorado. Warm water, light winds, and pretty empty line up. @tonyzphotos reporting.
Hello Monday, one more day left of 2024. The winds cleaned up a bit today and the jelly fish seem to have moved on. @tonyzphotos reporting.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Hello again Nicaragua surfing enthusiast, this is the longest running surf report in Nicarauga bringing you all the action from the Playa Santana surf contest today! I know your excited to see how I (Chewy) did, but we will save that for the end!
Happy 4th of July! This is Roberto “Lucha Libre”, Jairo “Come Pan” Panic, and Mateo “Pledge” with the Friday surf report. It was a hot one today down here in Nicaragua, so a lot of people headed out to the beach to cool off. The waves were waist to chest high, with off shore wind,..
Welcome to the surf report for today, we’ve got “Lucha Libre” out here with the camera today. It’s overhead on sets and the wind is offshore, check out the line up.
