Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hey everyone, Brian here, bringing you the report this Wednesday, Aug. 22, here in beautiful Nicaragua. We had some steady rains early this morning and started to look like the sun wasn’t going to come out today. As you can see the rain has passed and it’s another day in paradise. Fun sized surf today, started out with chest to shoulder high playful peaks and steady offshore winds, with some bigger waves to be found if you were in the right spot.
A closer look at the waves coming in this morning with an unknown surfer doing the butt drag, trying to get in the right spot on this sweet backside barrel.
The sun was blazing early today, so I had to walk the shorebreak and keep my feet cool. If only I was out there staying cool throwing hacks like this guy.
Found one of our local guys, Carlos, checking out the aerodynamics of his board. I think he’s ready to fly to the moon boosting like that.
The waves were looking pretty fun, and eventually the word got out. This guy just came out of nowhere, at least the other surfer was nice enough to share.
Some of the tourists were learning a thing or two from Carlos and boosting some sick frontside airs. We call this the “Gringo Air”.
While some guys were boosting airs, leave it to “Pancho” to show ya how to find shade from the sun. Check him out on this frothy one, I thought he was gone and then before I knew it, he made it through the next section!
Aahh…what?? Another sweet barrel that I could’ve been on, and so could you! This guy is crouching down to midget size to fit in to this barrel. Big or small, the barrels here will leave you smiling : )
Well, that’s it for today, I’ll leave everyone drooling over this empty bomb set that came through. I guess no one had the guts to get into this one..do you? Hasta manana!
RECENT REPORTS
Hey everyone! Welcome to Tuesday’s surf report from Panga Drops. The swell was notably stronger than I expected. Some early season Pacific power! Middle peak was the place to be, but it was windy.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Monday’s surf report from French Fries. The waves were pretty much firing when I rocked up to take pictures, but just like yesterday the wind went side-shore as soon as I put the camera away. At least some surfers caught the magic window.
Hey amigos! Welcome to March 1st’s surf report from French Fries. The waves were really fun in the late morning and early afternoon. The wind direction was perfect, but then flipped side-shore right as I went to grab my board haha.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
What’s up folks? This is Lucha from down south, throwing a couple pics in for our Monday surf report. The waves were kinda small but super fun today. Waist to chest high waves were rolling in, the winds were nice offshore all day long and the water was nice. Check out the lineup!!!
It was raining cats and dogs during the whole night through this morning, so all the rivers and water falls were flowing as hell. This is been one of the most rainy months so far but we are not complaining because we needed it. Thanks to Frank (Tropical Storm) we are getting lot of changes in our..
Hi everyone, these are the NSR Photographers bringing you all the action for the Saturday surf report. Today the waves were head high on sets and glassy but disorganized. There were some waves barreling but it was really hard to catch them. Check out this guy just steps away from fun!!!
