Nicaragua Surf Report for Friday, August 04, 2017

Brian Scott

Hola and HAPPY FRIDAY mis amigos! Welcome back for another fantastic weekend. The waves are currently in the small zone, but the froth level is XL! Lets kick it off.. what do you say???

Brian Scott

The swell has increasingly backed off from when we had some of (quite possibly) the best swell of our season here this past week. But as always, in good old fashioned Nica-Land style, we always have something fun to ride!

Brian Scott

I like to think the nose bleed seats here at our arena are sometimes some of the best seats in the house. From a cool pulled back artistic way of looking at it, that is.

Brian Scott

Looks like for sunset cocktail happy hour, they were serving up 3 for 1 Nica Libres.

Brian Scott

They were also having the Hacienda Iguana Beach dirty martini. This one was obviously shaken, not stirred.

Brian Scott

All eyes are usually peeled on the evening session surfers, especially while the good time libations are a flowing.

Brian Scott

Colin Eberly always puts on a good show no matter if the waves are 2 feet or 20 feet + !

Brian Scott

I prefer to watch him surf in the 20+ plus zone, but still… you can’t complain with his efforts in the water either way.

Brian Scott

This guy might have seen Colin too, which is impressive. That or he saw me earlier…

Brian Scott

Like when I hiked up the way to scout out this new secret slab I’ve been been keeping my eye on. It breaks only when we have smaller swell and the water comes in from a deep water canon that makes it jack to incredible size and perfection; sometimes making it only surf-able by towing most of the time. Not very many people really know about it, so it’s kept pretty secretive, but when it’s on… it’s ON!!!

Brian Scott

Soooo….all secrets aside (haha), back to the real action from this afternoon. There were some gals RIPPING out there. Some even putting on a little clinic action for some onlookers. Que nota, amigos!

Brian Scott

Contrary to popular belief, the Nicaraguan folks have some seriously cool style, especially for the beach! Dude, I want this umbrella!!!

Brian Scott

And despite the small surf we currently have, there was some pretty cool ripping going on out there. Like this guy…

Brian Scott

and this guy…

Brian Scott

and this guy.

Brian Scott

And even more impressive was that there were actually some pretty decent barrels to be had out there as well. Like this guy...

Brian Scott

and this guy…

Brian Scott

wait for it…..

Brian Scott

You guessed it… and this guy.

Brian Scott

This might be their 3rd surf today. It could very well be their first, because maybe they just got here? Either way, nothing better than paddling out with a few of your amigos just in time to watch the sun set and catch some of the days last waves for the day.

Brian Scott

Still lots of shredding going down right up until the sun decides to call it a day.

Brian Scott

Small but fun surf with peaks for everyone to either go right..

Brian Scott

or left on. Steffi, here cracking a really nice one off the top!

Brian Scott

 I have to say Peters awesome right hand barrel on his Wavestorm with that crazy looking pink single fin setup was my personal favorite WOD. Yea Peter!

Brian Scott

Well, the sun calls the shots around here, so that means it’s closing time at this bar. Until mañana amigos. Looking forward to another fantastic weekend with you guys and gals… see ya out here in person, or in web-land (hopefully earlier than later) IF our power is working tomorrow. Chao 4 Now ~
