Somewhere in Nicaragua
This is a 4 day weekend here in Nicaragua. Tuesday, June 19th, it the anniversary of the revolution and everybody has the day off. Unofficially, that also means Monday. Anyway, the town is hopping and there are people everywhere. We checked out head high swell and offshore winds until 4pm at Maderas today. Here is a shot from the beach.
How do all those people get to Maderas? Check out Brent driving the Arena Caliente truck. What a great way to make new friends and get to the beach at the same time. The unofficial record is 19 people and 12 surfboards, so today was a light day.
The lineup was dominated by the locals today. Here is Danilo finishing off a nice one.
RECENT REPORTS
Hey amigos! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Colorados. I saw the waves turn on and off about 7 separate times today. The conditions were in constant flux. It just so happened to be that the best window of the day was when I took pictures around 1:00pm.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Wednesday’s surf report from Colorados. The waves were better by all measurable metrics today. It was still walled up and slow, but there were definitely some 10 pointers to be had.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Tuesday evening’s surf report from Colorados. The swell was bigger and stronger today, but it was very slow between the sets. I think the lack of a secondary swell combined with the sandbars not being in perfect shape made for long waits.
