Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hey everyone! Welcome to Saturday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. Well the tiny waves finally showed up today… Possibly the smallest day I’ve seen in close to a month!
Wes Yockey was out snagging some of the better set waves. He’s good at navigating “cruise control” on his boards.
Chris Wilcutt is back in town and is working on his pig-dog. His long hair and beard add some automatic extra surfer style points to his rides haha.
I’ll dub this shredder right here “Mr. Blue” for the rest of the report. He got a lot of good waves and turns this morning. He has a unique “shoulder shrug” top turn technique going.
Wes effortlessly gliding across another nice right runner. He can pick up some good speed on his specially shaped boards.
Alex from New Hampshire has a baby on the way and was still out there getting on rail!
A fuller, fish-like board would’ve also been a good choice for the gentle surf we had today. That or a longboard!
Aurelie having a stare-down with the oncoming lip on this wave. I think she probably could’ve gone left, but she opted to look right first. Either way the photo looks cool haha!
Mr. Blue back in action doing his signature shoulder shrug carves.
Woah there shred-lord! You snapped me back awake with this powerful carve. Maneuver of the day right here.
I came back a little later just after mid-tide, but most of the good action had already transpired early in the morning. It would still be fun to be the only guys out at a peak trading off waves with your buddy though.
Head dip! Barrel of the day today haha
Chocoyo’s upper body sag of disappointment pretty much sums up my surf sessions as of late with the smaller waves. I need to work on my grovel game!
Chocoyo always manages to find a few lips to belt even at lower tide in smaller waves. He’s a bit of a magician if I had to say. He can’t complain too much though, he was the only guy out at the main peak.
The stretch of small surf continues, but today felt like the bottom of the swell! Even Lesther and Oscar didn’t surf this morning, so that’s a solid indicator regarding the size. Tomorrow Tony Z returns to the report, but the forecast is still looking pretty micro so I expect some long-boarders to be running the show. Cheers guys and enjoy the rest of your weekend!
RECENT REPORTS
Hello Monday, The swell continues into today with some cleaner conditions. There were some long waits, but for the few patient people in the water there was some glory to be had. @tonyzphotos reporting.
Good afternoon and Happy Sunday. We saw a nice jump in swell today from yesterday. @tonyzphotos bringing you todays action.
Hi everyone! Welcome to Saturday’s surf report from Panga Drops. The swell definitely began to fill in today. The main challenge was the wind and extreme tides. This morning the tide was low, and the swell was just starting to fill in, but the wind was favorable which was good.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Hello everyone! remember me? It’s been a long time since the last time I wrote a surf report… I’ve been focused on the Property Management side of the business which means a lot more headaches and less surfing.
Hello world and welcome back for another dose of Nica surf from here in Tola! The waves are waist high but the vibes are sky high, it is another beautiful day out and although the season is coming to an end around here we have more swell on the forecast and tons of smiles throughout..
Happy Hump Day surfers of the world, the NSR team wishes you a great day today and always… just like the one we’ve been having today here in Nicaragua.
