Somewhere in Nicaragua
What’s up folks? We’ve got a new long period swell starting to show a little bit today. Waves are running about chest to head high with inconsistent sets. The wind was swirling around from offshore to sideshore so it wasn’t quite as good as it could’ve been. Either way, there were a few fun ones to be had and there were definitely a few barrels. Here’s a shot looking down the beach to the South.
We are going to start things off with a short sequence of our new friend Troy, visiting Nicaragua from Australia. This guy can really ride a longboard. Here he is dropping in on a nice little set wave.
I’m telling you, he was throwing his 9’footer around like a shortboard out there today. Here he is with all his weight on the tale hitting the BRAKES!
This is Troy, Shot 3. He managed to tuck himself into a nice little barrel on this one.
It definitely seemed like the rights were better than the lefts out there today. This one lined up perfect to backdoor that little section. Did I mention how pretty and uncrowded it was today – half the crowd is in this photo!
Every now and then a nice left would come through. This is Pancho, reaping the fruits of patience and stalling for the barrel section.
We don’t know this guy, but he got a nice one too! You know it really seems like this is going to be a mild October and we’ve got lots of swell on the way. If you can swing it, you might consider a surgical strike (be sure to check the wind conditions) to score empty waves and discounted prices on accommodations at the best spots.
Beer paddled out today too and was practicing his backside “Jacksonville Cutbacks”. If you are going to miss the Jaguars game and the NASCAR race, you might as well catch some fun waves.
Hey Beer! Don’t worry, it looks like Tebow is going to be OK afterall! Stay tuned with us because we have building waves and good wind conditions in the forecast for at least the next week or so!
RECENT REPORTS
Happy Halloween everyone! This Friday was definitely had epic moments at Playa Colorado. It was a bit lulled out between the sets, but they definitely delivered when they came.
Wow! A surprise gift for us surfers here in Iguana this Thursday. I was expecting the surf to be small, but this morning it looked really fun.
Hey everyone! Josh back behind the lens for the next few days. The waves were decent all day long today. The wind was still, and the wave faces were smooth. The sets were head-high when they came.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Today we were ready to make it to the beach and score some good waves with offshore wind but it was raining a lot this morning and it made all the roads bumpy. Any way we loaded “El Burro” up and headed out to Maderas around 9:30 am, it was still raining but not too..
Hi fellas, we are “Lucha Libre and Come Pan Panic” with the report for today. It’s about chest to shoulder high on sets and the wind is offshore out here at Maderas but there are some fun waves coming through. Check out the lineup.
Hi, this is Roberto with the surf report for today. It’s solid over head on sets out here at Maderas today and the wind is offshore.. All the locals were out having a good time by themself. Check out Oliver getting a nice wave.
