Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hola everyone, Brian here , bringing the report to you today. Today started out with light onshores and then gradually got stronger. The conditions were mostly choppy for the first half of the day and super muggy out with thunderstorms building off in the distance. The rains finally came down around lunch time and it rained alot! Rain can be a good thing though when the winds are onshore, in this case, the rains cleared out and it was oil slick glass out there with super fun waves shoulder to head high. Those who paid attention scored! The lighting wasn’t the best for shooting fotos, but it was good enough to get barreled. Here’s the some of the lucky ones.
We had some short period windswell in the water today and so it was super peaky and there was lots of rideable waves. A few thin-lipped barrels were to be had by those who got themselves positioned behind the peak.
Our other Carlos, was out there as well picking off some beautiful rights. “What to do next? Set up for the barrel or a big turn off the top?”
They must call him “Caliente” Carl for a reason, he was on fire today. Can you say “barrel fest”!
A few other guys made it out just in time and were making some nice barrels down the beach as well.
Mr. Caliente didn’t have to do much searching out there today, the barrels were finding him! Backdooring into the green room. Yew!
It was so good out there that some guys just wanted to enjoy the view. I guess Carlos “Caliente” was putting on a show.
I think this guy was practicing his crash landings. I think i could do better. Well, that’s all for today everyone. Hope to see you in the water tomorrow. Adios!
On a final parting shot for the day we are posting a shot new friend Bradie Shemke sent in. Bradie has been in the water the last few days with a go pro getting some sick new angles. Thanks for the post Bradie!
Wait, ya’ll we’re not done yet. The sailfish SLAYERS over at Surfari Charters just sent in this late in the day entry. It looks like Captain Jimmy fighting a beast. SUBU!! Hasta manana.

Hey everyone! I hope you all had a great Fourth! Saturday’s report is coming your way from Colorados as per usual. It was smaller today, but very shreddable. Still a few tubitos too.
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!

Property Update – We brought you a great deal a couple weeks ago on two adjacent golf course lots in Hacienda Iguana a short walk to Playa Colorado. Unbelievably these have not sold yet so the seller is dropping the price to $15,000 for one or $25,000 for both. This is a great chance to..

Hi everybody, this is Roberto “Lucha Libre” Garcia with the Wednesday surf report from somewhere down south. The waves were fun, running about chest to head high on sets with nice offshore winds. When we first got to the beach, there was nobody out just a few guys enjoying the whole beach by themselves. Check..
