Well, it’s usually some kind of “Welcome” or Bienvenido to the daily surf report, but as I am sure most of you are aware, we’re getting the full force of Hurricane Julia that made land fall up in the northern region (Blue Fields etc) late last night. Apparently the Corn Islands are without power and I haven’t seen the damage thus far, but here in the Tola area where we’re located, it’s some pretty tropical storm type winds and A LOT of rain. Lots and and lots of rain! The hurricane coming from the Caribbean coast last night was being rated as a category 2 hurricane but by passing over direct land its now been downgraded to a category 1 I beleive? If you guys remember back in 2017 when we got slammed with what was supposed to be credited as a Hurricane, that one ended up being downgraded to a tropical storm, also known or remembered as TS “Nate”. Man for a Tropical Storm, that was the gnarliest damage I’ve ever seen in person (being from CA, the west coast) and that wasn’t even a rated category hurricane.
