Ok so the morning was fun: small, glassy, and plenty of peaks. By the afternoon, the onshores (thanks to Harvey) filled in. It looks like we will have one more day of abnormal weather then Nicaragua will go back to normal (just in time for the swell!!).

Go back to that previous photo. Did you notice the fins first? And how are the fins facing in this shot? To be honest, he spun the board around so fast that I didn’t even have a chance to capture a shot mid spin… Good stuff Juan and we are looking forward to your competitive surf in the IPC 2nd Annual Softtop Competition.

For a guy who just started surfing, he’s mastering the basics and will be shredding soon. Dale Juan!!

Sooooo what do we do when the surf isn’t epic?!?! Keep scrolling to the next section but it starts with the letter “f” and ends in the letters “ish.”

With the overnight onshores, warm clear blue water washed in. That means it’s time to gather our dive gear and head offshore!! Yes, you read that right: onshores = offshore.

This is one of my favorite shots for this morning. Pancho Sanchez has been diving for a few years and is a stud. After peaking his head into some caves, he came across this stud. How are you going to cook that tasty pargo bro?!

Nice work Stino and way to have patience at 50ft below!! I know it isn’t a wahoo but you landed a stud and it’ll taste delicious.

The rule is that the diver with the biggest fish gets only and all the glory on the report. However… I want to introduce my boy Eric. Eric has spent a lot of time in the area but he recently made the full time plunge here. He surfs really well (big waves, small waves, shortboard, longboard) and is an A+ dad for his boy Dylan. Congrats on some fish Eric and let’s get you a barrel shot on the report soon.

Stay tuned for the swell next week amigos!!

Happy 4th of July! The size of the surf dropped notably today. There were still good sets, but patience was key (again). Hard to believe there were no takers on this one!
