Somewhere in Nicaragua
Big shouts out to the NSR community. Thank you for joining us for another report from Nicaragua’s lovely Pacific coast. A new swell is filling in today and was greeted by our first all day offshores in a little while. The waves started out the day in the head high range and built all day leaving us with sets that were well over head by sunset. Check the action!
Juan and I were able to get to the beach early today in time to snap this shot. There were plenty of make-able waves in between sets. This one stretched out nicely for this surfer.
NSR friend and president of the Nicaraguan surfing association, Javier “Bucket-o-wine” Baldovinos, made it up our way today and stroked into a a right with some good shape.
The crowd was light and the chicks were ruling the lineup this morning.
Local wave magnet and tube specialist, Carlos, could do no wrong this morning, scoring the best waves until the tide bottomed out and the bigger sets caused runouts to rake the lineup.
We ended up chasing waves for a good part of the afternoon, trying to figure out where “the spot” was without much luck. Finally, we headed home and decided to give it one last look towards sunset. We were rewarded by the view shown in these last few photos…..surf vacation anyone? Hit us up if you want to stay here and save your self the hassle of a drive, boat or walk to surf. You can just about jump from the pool into the ocean.
This wave is right out front and breaks all year round.
With a solid southwest swell running it was all about the rights today. Regular footers rarely rejoice in this land of lefts, today was a different story. Even one of the country’s rare right points was lit up. That’s all for now from us……Lucha Libre should be checking in shortly with an update from the southern region.
This just in. The Surfari Charters crew nabs their 63rd sail fish of the season and this monster dorado.
This is Lucha Libre Garcia bringing you a little bit of the action we had down south. This morning D-lite, Codo and I took a ride to the beach, hoping to score some fun surf with the new swell and this is what we saw right when we arrived. Check it out!!!
Codo got a little surprised after he saw this bump coming in. There were some pretty consistent sets rolling in, and I was more than happy to be on the beach and not out there.
Codo and our very own Borrador finally made it out after be battling with the currents for about 10 minutes. We have to say that nobody else paddled out, and here we have a good reason.
By the end of the afternoon Codo and I drove by a nice spot down south, where we usually go when the waves are big. We found a few nice sets but Codo didn’t want to make it out that late by himself.
We made it back to town and we went to check out the bay. There were some nice waves coming in by the river mouth.
The national longboard champion was out there doing his thing. Here he is caught with a cool vertical move.
RECENT REPORTS
Hello and Happy Sunday. We headed off campus today to the south and tried to find some mellower waves. There’s still p[plenty swell in the water. @tonyzphotos bring you the days action.
Woah! The swell showed up big time this Saturday! Easily the biggest waves we’ve had this year, and probably since October or November of last year.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday’s surf report from Colorados. The wind was funky throughout most of the day, but I saw this morning window and an early afternoon window.

Before we get into today’s surf report, I had to throw up a photo from the “Mustache Contest” held this past Sunday Night at Pau Hana Restaurant in SJDS. They had all kinds of different categories including “biggest mustache”, “best 70’s mustache”, “best female mustache” etc. Pancho and his daughter decided to enter for the..
September is pretty much always a good month to come down to Nicaragua – the weather is good, the south swells are still running and most of the people are gone. This September looks to be particularly empty (which is a good thing for surfers) and lots of business and rental homes are running specials. ..
Hi folks, this is Jairo “Come Pan” Panic bringing you the Sunday surf report. Today was another busy day for the NSR Surf School. The best place we found for surf was in the bay of San Juan Del Sur. It was running about waist to chest high on sets and the wind was a..
