Nicaragua Surf Report for Sunday, September 03, 2023

Josh S

Wow, what an epic day! Another day of great waves and weather here in Hacienda Iguana this Sunday. There was so much good action this afternoon, that I just decided to buff up the photo count. 

Josh S

I’ll kick off today’s report with an epic barrel sequence by an unknown rider.

Josh S

His pig-dog form was good which enabled him to drag his booty and slow down for the shade.

Josh S

Here’s the setup for section numero dos.

Josh S

Pulling the disappearing act again :)

Josh S

You can’t hide! We still see you through that crystal clear lip.

Josh S

And a clean exit to finish! Bravo, bravo!

Josh S

This guy definitely took the cake for combo wave of the day.

Josh S

Speed = 10 Power = 10 Flow = 10

Josh S

Dang, this guy’s check turn is more powerful that my “proper turn” haha XD

Josh S

And a nice lofty spinner to polish the ride. There have been some serious rippers here in Iguana this month.

Josh S

Josee was on a mission to slay giants today during the high tide surf window.

Josh S

Josee was the most stoked of all the surfers I saw today. This left was definitely a solid one. I mean look at that whitewater detonating from the lip behind her here.

Josh S

John Gillem was sliding across some large left walls as well.

Josh S

Huuuu! Josee on another bomb! Way to stick the drop! Next step is going to be pulling into some tubes :)

Josh S

Here we go, she’s starting to open up across the wave face! That’s what I like to see.

Josh S

She was a bit late to initiate the bottom turn (get down the line), so she made a smart game time decision to straighten out and avoid getting blown up by the thick lip.

Josh S

The waves, even at high tide, were faster than they looked from the shore. Even John G was getting stuck behind sections on the big ones and having to straighten out. John is a tall dude, so how big do you reckon this wave was?

Josh S

The fabled “10ft whitewater” that beginner surfers always tell me about haha! This is what real 10ft whitewater looks like, not what you see at Cornwall haha.

Josh S

Pizzaaazzz! A textbook “fanning” top-turn.

Josh S

Followed up by a critical coping blast provided by the frothy-whitewater wave face. Another ripper on the loose.

Josh S

Yeah… There were some bombs today. I saw at least 5 waves break at our little mini piece of outer reef at Colorados.

Josh S

Ok viewers, that’s all I’ve got for today. I hope you enjoyed the bonus action and powerful surf. Thank goodness it finally showed up, I was beginning to think it would be the year without a Santa Claus. Tomorrow looks like it should be epic (again), so be sure to pop back by. I hope you’re cruising out of this weekend with as much style as Mike Doan pictured here!
