Somewhere in Nicaragua
Happy Friday everyone! Here’s some of today’s surf action from Colorados. The size of the surf roughly held constant from yesterday, and I would argue the shape and consistency were even better today relative to yesterday. Talk about a late swell kick!
There were quite a few tubes made this morning, but this afternoon there was more lacerating and hacking going on.
There were some good surfers out this afternoon when I shot! You can tell they are skilled by the degree of water they are displacing during their turns.
Wes Yockey made one of the few barrels I saw during my photo session. It was a tight tube and Wes is a tall guy so he did very well to tuck in and slide out of this inside section nugget.
Ooohh, she’s a little runaway…
A well timed and placed back hand hook from this regular footer. He did well to stay tight to the pocket with his top turn on the fatter wave.
Whoom! This guy got some height on this boost. You can see how perfect the air section was below the surfer.
Skkkrrrrtttt! This guy is going full slam on the breaks here! That’s how high tide barrel riding works here though. The opposite of our low tide drainers 🙂
The daily emerald barrel! He’s the lucky winner today. He’s gotta jam that back hand in there to slow down a bit more though.
The goofy footers were not to be outdone today though!
Sir, here’s your cart. You’re right on time for your afternoon tee time. No mulligans though!
Perfect sequence of rotation and right hook from this surfer in white. Dana White, get him on the UFC list!
Oh man I didn’t realize it until now but a good chunk of today’s shred photos were actually Seth! His short hair cut is still throwing me a loop haha! Here’s a nice speedy snap he threw in on this left.
Laying it all on rail. Perfect train of thought during full high tide conditions.
That wraps up today’s surf action. Tomorrow’s forecast looks like it will probably drop some from today, but I think the sets will still be hollow if you’re on patrol looking for them. What an epic run of surf we’ve had the past four days or so! I hope you guys have been enjoying the documentation so far and if the South Pacific keeps providing I’ll keep the good stuff coming your way.
RECENT REPORTS
Happy Sunday Funday, it’s been playful waves up and down the beach today. @tonyzphotos reporting.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Saturday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. There was a window early today and right at sunset. At mid-day when I took pictures the wind kicked up making for better turn sections than tubes. Still a few if you knew where to look.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Friday’s surf report from Colorados! The swell wasn’t quite as big as I expected, but there were still some gems this morning as you can see.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Nica Independence and some fun waves! Welcome back for another edition of the SurfNSR surf report. The sun is shining and the wind is offshore, the community is full of people ready to celebrate but the lineup is not too crowded so it is a great time. Check it out..
Hello everyone, happy Hump Day! The swell is still running strong with over head high waves coming through… the wind was not so good though.
Welcome to another day in the life of true topical living vicariously through the NSR report! Although we have some of the warmest sunny days we also have wet ones too. But then again it is the rainy season. So put on your slickers and get ready to get wet!
