Nicaragua Surf Report for Tuesday, September 22, 2020

Brian Scott

Welcome to the Tuesday surf report. Today we had some of the best waves I’ve seen in a while. Ok, let me rephrase, some of the best barreling waves that I’ve seen in a while. It was a 100% Tubesday Tuesday today for sure!!! Come check out the shack fest on the low tide.

If this doesn’t get your surf imagery sphincter going, I’m not sure what will?? So many crazy sequences from todays session it was ridiculous!

Brian Scott

Of course with any perfect day, you would need an almost perfect makable wave ratio, which today was maybe in the high 75 to 80 percentile. But the travel time in todays “un-makable” ones, sure had some pretty sick views. Just ask Nacho!

Brian Scott

With that tide quickly dropping it also cleaned out about 60% of the morning crowd too.

Brian Scott

When I initially went to check it, there must have been at least 25 or 30 surfers out.

Brian Scott

By the time I made it back down with my camera, there was only about 10 people out, and here’s one of them, Jason with a sick and one of the very few turns I saw since it was mostly all barrels.

Brian Scott

Fast. Deep. and almost perfect barrels each and every time.

Catching the drone footy and our always smiling super chill, funny and all around rad dude (aka other surf reporter)… Mr. Chris Russell

As always, Kevin Cortez performs on the highest level out there daily.

Brian Scott

Here he is, still going on one of his many multi barrel waves while Jason throws a “stoke shaka” for his amigo, while paddling back out!

Brian Scott

For the waves that did close out, Kevin always seems to rise above the flawed and imperfect situations. Oh and yes, he stuck this, in case you were wondering.

Tropical beauty surrounded in a land where waves are one of the best features here in Nicaragua.

That was Nacho dropping in on that last photo and this is him here, from a different perspective.  How’d you like to see HIS PERSPECTIVE???

Brian Scott

Jason on one of those 20% runners that had a higher chance of clamping down on him.

Brian Scott

Lucky for him, he’s put in a lot of time to know and understand how to make most of the waves he pulls into. Lucky for me, I kept shooting and had my undivided eyes still on him so I could see him do this sick cutback after he came flying out of the barrel. It was a WIN / WIN!

Brian Scott

Derek pulling deep from within some of his old Nias days.

Brian Scott

We had some bigger overhead sized barrels…..

Brian Scott

And we had some smaller fun sized barrels…..

Brian Scott

We also had some chunky churned up sandy super shallow barrels.

Brian Scott

But the best part of today was that it wasn’t onshore and this place was back to it’s old magical ways once again!

Brian Scott

Alrighty my far out tubular friends. That’s how it went! Maybe the after noon session will be good too, gonna head down to check it now. Maybe I’ll see ya out there???  Yewwww ~
