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 Saturday’s surf report from Panga Drops. The surf was a touch smaller today, but not as small as I was expecting. Still some shoulder-high sets.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. The waves were surprisingly bigger today. I thought it would be slightly larger than yesterday, but as the day progressed there were some sets that were head-high and had some push.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Panga Drops. There were some decent sized sets when they rolled through. The wind was light offshore, which made for a fun morning window.
