Nicaragua Surf Report for Tuesday, August 23, 2022

Brian Scott

Welcome to the otherwise muy tarde surf report. Lo siento (sorry), it’s been much like a dog chasing its own tail today, waiting to catch that possible good or decent window of surf. But the weather reports came through on their end and it’s officially back to some onshore winds for a few days I think. So, after doing this for a few years….. it’s time to get creative again! It’s just that I’m used to only doing this around October. So hang on tight for some creative juices to get flowing to make something appealing for all you dedicated surf fans out there! Let’s DO THIS!!!!

The view to Costa Rica has seen MUCH better days, for sure!

To my surprise, there was actually one dude out..!  Good on you hermano!

Brian Scott

But sadly, this is what he had to compete with.

Brian Scott

Hey Pancho…. is this a relative???? hahaha look at the tongue.

And with that. . . it was a single wave solo sesh that I completely understand the “One and Done” factor with todays conditions.

Brian Scott

Sooooo with that being said, you all know me by now and you know I’m never going to leave you hanging without giving you some sort of goods for the day! Kinda ironic and ideal from these next few shots (especially this one here of Noah - one of the coolest cats to come in from the states and pick up the work flow for NSR woking the surf shop and doing a damn fine job while he was here), not to mention, gathering a plethora of some of the bests waves this season has seen.

Brian Scott

Yeaaaaah brother! Super stoked to add you to the roster of NSR surf and work flow team. You killed it out there when you weren’t slaying it at the main headquarters!

Brian Scott

So, in retrospect, all these shots were taken on one of my day’s off exactly one week ago. Certainly miss seeing this, today!

Including this special indicator, which went off for that entire bombing south swell that lit up every stretch of coastline from Panama all the way to the E.E.UU.

A happy lifeguard is the perfect lifeguard to have watching over your back, especially while you play in mother ocean, here in Nicaragua. The privately funded (and VERY MUCH appreciated and NEEDED) life rescuing team that we’re fortunate to have here is no joke! Megan & Mike whom are perfectly positioned at one of the beach front homes here have gone so far above and beyond with their benefactor and personal dedication to the safety and well being to everyone in this community. I don’t think there is an award, an accolade or anything that can even come close to showing just how much they have given back to this community in order to show how much appreciation we should all show them. Needless to say, the new lifeguard towers look super “Bitchen” Ya???!!!! These palapas will help these guys out so much now, who spend countless hours in the super hot Nica Sun, watching and keeping guard! Much respect and love to all you guys!!!!

Brian Scott

All the factors between just a little wind and swell can make the slightest of difference, right??

Brian Scott

Jason here (one of the lifeguards shown earlier in the newly built lifeguard towers), surfs & rescues. He excels at both equally well!

Brian Scott

Timing is everything. My latest new buddy Walt (from New Zealand) and his girlfriend drove this old Chevy past the levy (in Los Angles) to Nicaragua and is now currently in Costa Rica with his final destination being Panama. Life is certainly what you make of it. Sprinter Van or old school Chevy, surfing is their guiding light. Always follow the light!!!!

Or, if you’re not careful, you’ll be a meal for the vultures, like this poor tortuga vieja. The circle of life and my Wifi I think is all running on the same program! jajaja - super inside joke if you know your Wifi providers here. On that note…… if, that’s a BIG IF it’s not onshore tomorrow, we may have some decent pics. Buenas noches mis amigos ~
