Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hi everyone! Welcome to Thursday morning’s surf report from Playa Colorado. We lucked out this morning with some favorable wind and decent waves.
There were 10 to 15 surfers out this morning, which makes sense since everyone was stir crazy after being landlocked the past few days.
The tide was high early in the morning so there weren’t tons of tubes up for grabs. Best to work on turns on the smooth wave faces (at long last).
If you were patient and in the right place at the right time, then there were barrels though.
I wasn’t expecting the waves to be anywhere near this clean, but we lucked out. Never neglect a gift!

Kevin chucking some buckets on the inside while a good left reels off in the background. I thought I was hallucinating when I saw the waves when I rocked up this morning haha. The onshores got us bad for a few days.
There was probably a window right around mid-tide (before the wind came up) where there were some high-quality barrels.
Although the waves were fun, I think Kevin made the right call to bring his wider and “fishier” board. Especially given the high-tide.

I feel pretty satisfied after today’s fun waves. You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone! Tomorrow actually looks like it could be decent too. It might not be good for me to count my chickens yet though haha. See y’all tomorrow.
RECENT REPORTS
Hey everyone! Welcome to Tuesday’s surf report from Panga Drops. The swell was notably stronger than I expected. Some early season Pacific power! Middle peak was the place to be, but it was windy.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Monday’s surf report from French Fries. The waves were pretty much firing when I rocked up to take pictures, but just like yesterday the wind went side-shore as soon as I put the camera away. At least some surfers caught the magic window.
Hey amigos! Welcome to March 1st’s surf report from French Fries. The waves were really fun in the late morning and early afternoon. The wind direction was perfect, but then flipped side-shore right as I went to grab my board haha.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Tuesday we decided to go on a boat and check a spot to the North. I’m sure many of you can guess the spot. They call it Nicaraguas Lower Trestles.
Buenos días y feliz Lunes! Got down to the beach for the super dawn patrol, but was greeted with some pretty crazy onshore winds. Not even a sliver of a chance of just a little morning glory of some slight glassiness before all that low pressure system and hurricane activity is sucking every inch of..
Feliz domingo del dia de la diversion! In other words, Happy Sunday Funday! The good vibes were there, the happy people were there AND yes, the waves were there too! Pop on in and check it out!
