Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hi folks, today we made it out to the beach to score some small but fun waves but we didn’t count to find ON SHORE wind out there. Yeah folks, the waves were mushy today and were running about chest high on sets and the water was clear. Check out what we got with the ONSHORE wind today.
It seems that Hurricane Fay in the Caribbean is affecting our normal offshore flow on the SW Pacific coast of Nicaragua but that didn’t seem to bother these two ladies. They are just happy to be here on vacation and want to work on their suntans.
A couple of locals made it out and were not taking care about wind conditions. Here we have Larry trying to do some stuff on this mushy one.
Today D-lite decided not to paddle out instead he chose to have some beers with his good friends Tom Eberly and Lucha Libre and the local police. The swell is building this week, but tropical system in the Caribbean is going to mess with our winds for the next couple of days. Stay tuned to NSR for the latest surfing and weather info – we’ll keep you posted.
RECENT REPORTS
Hey amigos. Welcome to Thursday’s late morning report from Colorados. It was clean this AM, but notably smaller. The sets still had enough size to offer up tubitos.
Hey amigos! Josh back behind the lens for the next few days. Wednesday was a let down compared to what was forecasted. It was not 4ft @ 16 sec as projected by Surf-lie haha. The sets were good when they came, but there was one quality set every 20 minutes roughly. It was a waiting..
Hello Tuesday, I checked Colorado in the morning hoping the new swell was going to be showing, but didn’t see much happening yet. So decided to check Panga drops up the beach our local swell magnet. @tonyzphotos reporting.
