Nicaragua Surf Report for Saturday, August 11, 2018

Javier Baldovinos

Hey everyone, I hope you are having a great Saturday just like today here in Nicaragua. The waves were good at both places I checked today: Colorado and Santana, enjoy!

Javier Baldovinos

The new swell started to show some energy today. Here at Colorado the waves were around head high but it wasn’t barreling as usual because of the big tides we are having right now.

Javier Baldovinos

The little ones were not that fast giving enough room to hit the lip without hesitation.

Javier Baldovinos

My friend Iván from Managua came to the coast for the weekend to hopefully catch some of the swell tomorrow.

Javier Baldovinos

This next week is going to be really good, we are expecting two (maybe three) times this size and hopefully this good.

Javier Baldovinos

The local surfers are more than ready for the new swell.

Javier Baldovinos

They are taking the time to practice the big turns while they can, because once the big waves show up it’s all about the tube-riding skills.

Javier Baldovinos

Also, time for some airs here and there.

Javier Baldovinos

Some of the sets that came were big and good but not barreling properly yet.

Javier Baldovinos

My brother Joaquin came also from Managua for the weekend. This is his first appearing on the surf report so give him a round of applause please. Eso Joaquin!

Javier Baldovinos

I was wrong when I said there were no barrels today… this bodysurfer was killing it on the tube-riding show, and he was catching every barrel on camera.

Javier Baldovinos

This guy was surfing all over the place, one second he was catching a long right, the next second a short but steep left.

Javier Baldovinos

If you haven’t noticed it, the last few days have been very windy… I’m happy to see that somebody found a good way to play with it.

Another one that is making his debut on the surf report is my cousin Julian and his awesome style!

After the high tide, I took my visitors to my neighborhood Santana for a second session.

Javier Baldovinos

Of course at Santana we found super fun waves and just a few people in the water.

Let me introduce you to Los Gordos Surf Team, presented by “plenty-of-good-food” and sponsored by “not-enough-surfing”.

AS soon as Lenin saw Los Gordos Surf Teampaddling out, he marked his territory with a full on round-house.

Javier Baldovinos

He came with a lot of speed for this one.

Javier Baldovinos

And finishing it with style and control.

Javier Baldovinos

Santana was super fun, with good rights.

Javier Baldovinos

And mostly good lefts, like the ones we see at First Peak.

My other cousin Camilo appreciates you checking today’s surf report. Have a great Sunday everyone!
