Happy Tuesday to all you dedicated surf fans around the globe! Today we had a bit of decrease in swell compared to the last few days, but there were still some nice waves to catch out there and the crowd was actually very minimal (at least while i was shooting). Step on in and check it out!

The higher tide was definitely the call out there today. But not too high. The only high that was right was this high line that D-man was taking on this fun looking right.

This would be the second time Lesther has landed back in Nicaragua this month. The first coming in hot from Guatemala and this one here, at his favorite wave, where he’s so happy to back to surfing again every day.

Compared to super early this morning, the swell still had a little left (or in this case – right) to give.

Chris was able to find some nice cover from that gnarly hot sun we had today around noon.

Adam taking a little break from his other home break. Can’t wait to see how his new home that he’s building that’s literally about 100 yards from this cutback looks once it’s all finished. Coming along nicely and so are your turns amigo!

Like I said only about 6 or so people out. When’s the last time your home break had such an empty lineup (not counting a beach closure)?

Ahhhh – I thought I saw another dude paddling out way down at the other end of the beach. Check it out… it’s our very own Julio from the NSR surf shop. Looks like he made it out for his lunch break; and what a time to come out to score some fun empty waves too!

Hey everyone! Welcome to Saturday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. There was a window early today and right at sunset. At mid-day when I took pictures the wind kicked up making for better turn sections than tubes. Still a few if you knew where to look.

First peak came alive and was pumping all morning, and Junior Martinez was out there doing his normal routine… late drops, high lines, and big barrels.
