Nicaragua Surf Report for Tuesday, August 15, 2017

Brian Scott

Welcome and Bienvenido to the Tuesday surf report! After yesterdays amazing surf, we thought we’d try for another early dawn patrol up at the reef. Unfortunately for us, that big swell we were all enjoying all day yesterday diminished quite a bit this morning; but there were still some epic moments throughout the day. Check it out..!

“If only….. “ was the saying for today.

Brian Scott

If only we had that same energy in the water today as we had yesterday. Man today would have been 100% epic. The conditions were as clean as they get here at this spot. Kevin here taking advantage and squeezing every last title bit out of the swell that is ridable at the reef this morning.

Brian Scott

There was still some mini-bombs coming through. But this place actually is a little more dangerous the smaller it gets since it’s breaks right over the reef, instead of out past beyond it. Either way, timing your drop and pulling in here is an art all in itself.

Brian Scott

This is a declining swell at the reef. Still picture perfect, regardless.

Brian Scott

This (if you look close enough) is actually a young lady. Can you say charging, despite what we’d call small(er) than ideal for here.

Brian Scott

See them boils… ya, you know exactly what that means.

Brian Scott

We waited for a while to see if maybe it would pick up a little (hopeful thinking I guess on our part, I guess). But still wasn’t a bad morning at all to get out there and go see some beautiful country side and incredible morning light and a few of our friends getting some nice clean 6 foot waves before the swell backs down again this week.

So we packed it up and headed back to our neck of the woods.

I waited for the early afternoon session and found it to be pretty drained out by then, but there were still some people out ripping it up.

Brian Scott

This swell literally was a one and done swell (one day and done). Surfline actually called it this time and predicted some shadowing of the Galapagos Islands, to which was a pretty good call on their part; but we all still wish the swell had lasted a little longer than just a day.

Brian Scott

So, even though we’re back to normal human size ridable waves, the people out there were still a having a bast!

Brian Scott

If this were a regular Southern CA day, or even an average Florida day, this would be considered pretty epic!

Steffi rips in any kinds of waves, but today she settled for these trestle like conditions surfing the lefts.

While her amiga was ripping and shredding on the rights.

See, this dad’s got the right idea here. Start em young; and what a prefect day for doing so.

Brian Scott

Jackson is the stealthiest surfer I know. Sometimes I don’t even see him enter the water… but once I see him on a wave, I always immediately know who it is.

Brian Scott

This is one of the exact reasons why.

Brian Scott

The water clarity today was pretty incredible as well. Just a good day to be down at the beach surfing and enjoying some fun in the sun.

Brian Scott

Even our little reef up the way was quite a bit smaller, but still had some fun empty ones rolling through.

Jackson, still a stealthy surfer!

The crowds will start to thin out as we make our way through the end of this month. If you’re thinking about making a trip down, September still has lots of time and potential for much more swell energy out of the South Pacific.

That’s it for my report today. Thanks for always stopping by to check out our reports and especially following what we were anxiously awaiting over this past weekend for what we had as our BIG swell. Yesterdays surf was incredible and hope you enjoyed seeing the surf from our eyes in Nica-Land. I’m hoping we get a few more decent big swells before the season winds down.

Brian Scott

Until then, muchas gracias y saludos!
