This swell isn’t anything massive or epic but it’s providing fun waves. Find a good line, point your nose in that direction, and go!!

Yes, the barrels are the best part but stay patient. Good things still come after the tube.

Bam! Claim it if you want but making a big carve or throwing a hack is way cooler.

During the morning session, I only saw one incident. The locals and residents enjoy sharing the wave with friendly travelers but remember it’s a different culture in Nicaragua. Do not burn people and rob their waves.

To a newcomer, the swells and beach can be complex. Make it easier on yourself and your Instagram: hit up Tony Z Photos or NICA Surf Tours. Tony and Gary can dial you in and document your session.
