Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hi everyone! Josh back behind the lens with Wednesday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. The swell was still a bit so-so relative to what was forecasted, but there were fun waves out there for those who were patient.
This chica got the most “complimentary” ride of the day. Blue wave, blue shirt, and a blue board! I think her wave here had the best color that I saw all day today.
I live for these end section smacks on these slightly smaller days! Sometimes when it’s racey the safest bet is to fly down the line and prepare for one big top-turn, as opposed to getting too cute and trying to squeeze in two or more turns.
There were still some signs of swell today, but I think the sandbars still need to “shape up” some more so that these sets are makable.
And the barrel of the day award goes to this guy! He took the perfect line through this right bomb set.
Simone driving into a nice medium size right. This was a pretty good wave for today, so it garnered a considerable amount of attention from the other surfers.
Raido Yagami! Just kidding on the last name part haha. But Raido is a young ripper who’s been here for about a month. I’ve seen him weave through some legit barrels when he first got here, but he’s also very good at rail to rail surfing. I wonder if he skates as well, because this is a sick improv rail slide, in our case a lip-slide 🙂
A good chunk of the surfers today were working on their skateboard tricks! A well timed end-section boost from this surfer.
To close out today’s surf action, we have Lindsey on a nice medium size left. She was debating whether to surf or not, but I’m glad she darted out quick and nabbed this little nugget (I bet she got some more after I left as well).
These chicas have it right! When the sun’s out and the breeze is moderate, then it’s time to hit the beach! The weather has been beautiful this “rainy” season, so if you want in on the tropics then it’s time to start scouting for accommodation and flights! Tomorrow’s forecast looks a bit smaller, but I bet there will still be some fun waves for the surfers here.
RECENT REPORTS
Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday’s surf report from Colorados. The waves were smaller today, but bigger than I was expecting. Still a few make-able tubitos in the morning.
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.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Happy Tuesday everybody! Waves dipped a little more, at least for the beachie, so me and a few friends decided to head up the road to the reef where it was fun good size and long rights and lefts from the take off spot way out the back.
Welcome to another week of waves in Nicaragua. New swell energy has come in and with it some new surfers, but like all popular surf spots, it’s an ebb and flow of water and the people who love it’s never ending seek and exploration of sometimes new and returning reunion of some of their favorite..
Happy Sunday guys and gals! Today we had a lot of visitors and beachgoers spaciously enjoying one of Nicaragua’s best assets, but the best thing about today was the new swell that arrived. Come on in and check out the goods!
