PLAYA COLORADO
Hello everyone! It’s another gorgeous and quiet off season morning down here in Nica. The waves were a hair smaller than yesterday, the swell a little disorganized, but still lots of fun. Once again the crowd was super light and the wind was variable-offshore all day. Enjoy!
Little shoulder to head high drainers came through tempting the few takers who showed up to the beach today.
Speaking of takers, the brothers Espinoza rolled up just as the tide started to drain out.
There’s been a little funky texture on the ocean due to how close the storm that produced this swell has been. Still it’s far enough away to leave us two days in a row of sunny skies and we’ll take these conditions in the off season any day.
Once again Oscar Espinoza was among the first to be on it. Here he is with a little blank canvas.
And he decided to decorate it with a little layback style.
Jayson was on it too. Always love watching this kid surf.
He’s got style for days and a relaxed approach. Plus he’s always smiling.
Buzz got in on the action as well. He came in soon after this wave, stoked on the vibes, throwing shakas!
These seats are usually full all day, but no peanut gallery these days.
Not many barrels today but there were definitely plenty of rippable head high peaks.
It’s super quiet in Iguana in October, but our shop is always open, so if you’re here and need some gear we got you covered. Or just swing by to say hello. Julio is always down to talk story.
Speaking of gear, this is my current favorite item in the shop. They’re called the sofa short and they are the most comfortable pair of loungy shorts I own.
RECENT REPORTS
Hey amigos. Welcome to Thursday’s late morning report from Colorados. It was clean this AM, but notably smaller. The sets still had enough size to offer up tubitos.
Hey amigos! Josh back behind the lens for the next few days. Wednesday was a let down compared to what was forecasted. It was not 4ft @ 16 sec as projected by Surf-lie haha. The sets were good when they came, but there was one quality set every 20 minutes roughly. It was a waiting..
Hello Tuesday, I checked Colorado in the morning hoping the new swell was going to be showing, but didn’t see much happening yet. So decided to check Panga drops up the beach our local swell magnet. @tonyzphotos reporting.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Happy hump day everyone. Another down day for surf, but it’s a good day to be indoors.
Good morning everybody and welcome to the NSR surf report with Parker! We have a treat for you: the waves are pumping! So make the right decision and keep scrolling down.
Hi there!!!. I don’t expect the onshore wind, but we have one more day with onshore this year. Well we have a peak with good waves. With a offshore wind this peak probably could be on fire today, but here we are surfing, so everything keep right!!!.
