Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hey everyone! Welcome to the Wednesday surf report coming your way from Playa Colorado. Josh here back behind the lens for the next set of days. The waves weren’t massive today, but the shape was really nice and there was some shredding going down.
There were a couple of barrels made this morning. This unknown guy did well to drop his back knee and get low.
Another mystery surfer locking into a green super mario pipe. He’s also got the good back knee bent forward technique. He’s nearly touching the deck of his board with his lead hand for some extra style points.
Jeison lets no end section go to waste!
Oscar found a surprise throaty double up. This ended up being a great barrel ride, he got multiple sections that threw ahead of him.
Carlos de Colorados flaring up with this “rockstar” straight air. Sky high?
I think Oscar got a couple of new boards recently and they look pretty much perfect for him. Or at the very least he has been surfing these new boards well.
Carlos and Jeison party wave! Jeison got the short end of the stick here, but at least Carlos dug some rail in and chucked some buckets.
Tony Z is one of the people in Iguana that almost always has a smile on his face. He said he got a couple of fun waves, but Tony is always enjoying life irrespective of surf conditions.
Oscar gets air and maneuver of the day for this one here! Flaring the tail up, but keeping a tight grip on the rail to keep the board reigned in.
Carlos up to his usual antics, finding the unfindable super gems even when it looks like barrels are out of the question.
Hi Oscar! Getting some hang time again 🙂
Carlos can sniff a barrel out from a mile away haha
Bo Fox putting his rail and speed to work on this glassy right. He displaced a large quantity of water here!
The tight tubito tuck! A little tongue twister for you.
Who let the bulls out? Who? Who? Who? The locals have been employing the bulls in relocating trees and debris on the beach, so maybe this was their breakfast break. That’s all of today’s surf action here in paradise. Tomorrow could be pumping so definitely worth taking a peep in. I’m hesitant to jinx the conditions, but I think September could be our golden month this year that pumps really hard.
RECENT REPORTS
Hey everyone! Welcome to Wednesday’s surf report from Colorados. The waves were better by all measurable metrics today. It was still walled up and slow, but there were definitely some 10 pointers to be had.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Tuesday evening’s surf report from Colorados. The swell was bigger and stronger today, but it was very slow between the sets. I think the lack of a secondary swell combined with the sandbars not being in perfect shape made for long waits.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Monday evening’s surf report from Colorados. It wasn’t as big as I was expecting, but there was still some push.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Happy sunny and actually quite the glassy Tuesday we had today! With the swell winding down until our next pulse (which is due later this week), I think the decision – based on a couple friends personal intel, to move it on up north a little ways was actually a pretty good call. Peep on..
Hola Damas y Caballeros, welcome to the Monday surf report! That crazy sneaker swell we were graced with dropped off quite a bit today, but there was still plenty of goods out there to ride and have a fun time with surfing. Jump on in and check out what a typical fun Monday looks like…!
Welcome to the Sunday Funday surf report! Another super fun day of waves here in Nica-Land. Here’s to ending off August with a bang and really good waves!!!
