Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hey everyone! Welcome to Saturday’s surf report from Colorados. The waves were erratic today. It would pulse and turn on, then lull out for half an hour or so. I caught a good window while shooting today’s photos though.
Carlos de Colorados got the best barrel(s) of the day that I saw. No surprise there!
This was definitely one of the best waves that I saw while shooting today. Carlos used his extensive experience to perfectly position for it.
Carlos could probably make barrels like this while blindfolded. Child’s play.
He made it out and did well to dodge the incoming closeout section.
Carlos saw beyond the barrel and managed to tee-up for a layback jam after exiting.
The insiders were just as hollow today. It’s about the shape not the size!
This bodyboarder managed to pull into a gem. I bet he enjoyed the view!
Do you need a flashlight in there? Sandy, dark cavern.
Bruno logging some tunnel vision with the GoPro to document it. People like seeing the insides of Colorados!
Under the lip takeoff! Get up in there amigo!
If you look closely, you’ll see some interesting technique from this rider. The rare frontside rail grab. That’s one way to ensure that your stance is compressed.
One last cavern to tempt you before closing the curtains on today’s report. I had higher hopes for today’s conditions, but tomorrow is forecasted to be bigger. I’m not holding my breath, but it definitely beats onshore winds and logs surrounding you! Tony Z will be back with the goods tomorrow. Take it easy y’all.
RECENT REPORTS
Hey amigos! Welcome to Tuesday evening’s surf report from Colorados. The swell was bigger and stronger today, but it was very slow between the sets. I think the lack of a secondary swell combined with the sandbars not being in perfect shape made for long waits.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Monday evening’s surf report from Colorados. It wasn’t as big as I was expecting, but there was still some push.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Sunday evening’s surf report from Panga Drops / French Fries. It was very clean, but smaller than yesterday which caught me off-guard. There were still some pretty waves for the handful of surfers that were out.

Hi everyone. Here’s Thursday’s surf action from Colorados. The waves were bigger and more powerful today, but the wind came up quicker than yesterday which messed with the shape of the waves relative to yesterday.
Hola & Happy Hump day you salty surf fans! The weather, or better yet the waves are slowly making their way back to their normal selves again. One morning at a time.
Welcome to the treacherous and wild Tuesday surf report. It was a swell that could have been one for the record books today, but as October is notoriously famous for with it typically bring the rainiest month of the year…we’ve all come to accept, that even the Emerald Coast is not immune to 365 days..
