Somewhere in Nicaragua
Much better than yesterday, but that’s not saying much. We’ve still got chocolate water and stormy conditions today…it’s just not quite as rough as yesterday. The waves are a little smaller too, as if that matters.
OK, check this out. Here is a photo of the road that parallels Rio San Juan. Yes, it is underwater. This Photo is from yesterday.
Here is a photo of the same spot today. Notice, the water level of the river has dropped and the road is gone. Residents who live along this road have already started to petition the mayor’s office to help them rebuild the only road that passes by their homes – I could’t believe they had to do that.
RECENT REPORTS
Hey amigos! Welcome to Saturday evening’s surf report from French Fries and Panga Drops. The surf was surprisingly bigger today. I guess it’s the front runners of the coming swell. Kenny sending it on a head-high set.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday evening’s surf report from French Fries. After a long streak of very fun waves, the conditions were finally sub-par. Still ride-able at French Fries though.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Thursday afternoon’s surf report from Pangas and French Fries. The swell didn’t drop nearly as much as forecasted, but it was a little bit smaller. It was very clean and pulsing while I took pictures.
