Somewhere in Nicaragua
Howdy everyone! Welcome to Saturday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. The conditions have further improved today, which is great for all of us surfers here on the South Pacific coast of Nicaragua. Plenty of rippable waves were on the menu this morning.
Style for miles from this surfer! He’s letting his larger frame and speed do the work on this turn.
There were some good surfers out this morning! This guy was ripping out there. How clean is this end-section tail slide?
Maybe this guy was watching Karate Kid or Bruce Lee movies on Netflix during the storm. Regardless, he was throwing down some mean karate chops out there.
Even the boogey’s were getting radical out there. Flaring out on this El Rollo!
There were still a couple of bombs every now and again today. I was in the water around mid-tide (noon) and it definitely started to pulse a bit harder then as the onshore wind picked up some.
Arm-bar torquing through this carve. Que fuerte meng!
These high-speed end section lip-line floaters are some of my favorite aesthetic maneuvers. It seems to me that these moves peaked in popularity when AI (no, I’m not talking about Nvidia or ChatGPT) was competing with Kelly for tour titles back in the day. I wish we got more of these nowadays!
And now for the high-velocity free-fall to the flats! Guido’s a smart guy though, he’s compressing at his knees to protect himself and absorb the shock from the landing.
Buckets, buckets everywhere 🙂
Watch out for the crown de Christo spikes! The water has cleaned up notably in the past couple of days, but it’s still good to keep your eyes peeled and tread lightly on the way in and out of the water, you never know where a sneaky thorn is lurking. That’s all of today’s surf action, and I’m definitely glad that the conditions have improved as rapidly as they did. Tomorrow Tony Z will be back behind the lens and Surfline is forecasting similar conditions to today. So there should be some more lip-blasts and hacks going down if you tune back in. Have a good weekend y’all!
