Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hi everybody, this is Come Pan Panic bringing you the Friday surf report. Today we are excited because it is supposed to be the last day of onshore winds. So we went to the bay and took this photo hoping it’ll be the last one for a long time. We can not even say that there were some waves out there to be had because it was flat. Here we have a shot of the bay just to keep you guys updated.
This time of the year when the winds are onshore it is really interesting for us because we sometimes forget that we have a beautiful country to explore. Today we went to the Nicaraguan Lake to see what happens to it when the wind is onshore. It is amazing how this works because the lake is flat now with onshore wind and when we get off shore wind the lake gets rough with one to two foot waves. Here is the postcard shot of the day.
We also discovered on our way back to town a project for alternative electricity that a foreign country is building to help the Nicaraguan people. These wind mills are 100 meters tall and the blades are 80meters across. They have 3 completed and plan on building 12 more. This should help us with our power problems in the future.
The town is getting prepared for a big fiesta tomorrow night. Three different discos are setting up stages on the beach to hold all of the people that are going to come. Check back tomorrow for the pictures of the party.
RECENT REPORTS
Hello Sunday, we went off campus today and scored some fun waves at the point around the corner. @tonyzphotos bringing you the days action.
Hey everyone! I hope you all had a great Fourth! Saturday’s report is coming your way from Colorados as per usual. It was smaller today, but very shreddable. Still a few tubitos too.
Happy 4th of July! The size of the surf dropped notably today. There were still good sets, but patience was key (again). Hard to believe there were no takers on this one!
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Welcome to the surf report for today, we are “Lucha Libre and Come Pan Panic” reporting from out here at Maderas. It’s running about chest to head high on sets and the wind is offshore. Check it out.

OK, we’ve got a possible clearing trend developing. We’ve still got chest high junk in SJDS, and the beaches are a mess from all the rain. Here is Lester, making the most of it.
