Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hi everyone! Josh here again for the next few days. We had a great run of waves while Tony Z was on the report. It looks like things will be cooling down some for the next five days or so. Today’s report is from Colorados in the morning. This was the last “window of tubes” for what will likely be a few days.
The waves were fairly consistent just underneath mid-tide. The remnants of the swell were still pushing through with few surfers out. I think most folks were gassed from the epic run of waves over the past two days.
This guy had a peak all to himself. He got the pick of the litter, which meant barrels if he was patient enough to wait for the sets.
The wind was very light and beginning to puff slightly onshore. So it was a strange scenario where it was good for airs and barrels at the same time.
Vinny opting for the high-line to set up himself up with speed to work with further across the wave-face.
This takes “head over rail” to the limits… Risky business haha!
This goofy-footer put on a clinic this morning. He caught so many waves that I’m sure he appreciated the non-existent crowd.
Vinny digging deep on this bottom turn. Pure style.
Ahhhh… Yes! Another force user. Controlling the flow of his turn’s spray haha!
Well amigos, it has indeed been an action packed past couple of days. Now that it has passed us by it feels like it only lasted a few hours haha! Congrats to those who were able to capitalize on the favorable conditions. All of that being said I’m not super optimistic on the next few days of surf, but I think we have another fun swell coming in five days or so with some offshore flow again. Fingers crossed!
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
Monday had some moments before the wind.
Happy Sunday (well, partially) sunDay with the emphasis on lack of sun today. But there were some pretty fun waves with a whole of empty playing field out there for the taking!
Hola and welcome back to the Saturday Surf report from your best buds down here on the Emerald Coast of Nicaragua. We’ve got some glassy morning waves and a bit of an offshore flow which is a nice switch up from the slight onshore flow we have had over the last handful of days. The..
