Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hi folks, this is Miguel bringing you the Thursday surf report from one of our favorite spots down south. Today we went to the beach with the incoming tide hoping to catch some waves but unfortunately the wind was onshore. It was raining pretty good last nigh as well and we still had some during the day, we actually had to take photos inside the truck. Check it out!!!
The waves were very mushy, running about chest to shoulder high on sets. Here we have this unknown rider taking one of the better set waves of the day.
There were a few waves to ride out there but it was really hard to catch them. This is Mitch from Fl trying to make it around this section to ride this one as long as he can.
A couple guys decided to stay out of the water and warm up with some run. Salud amigos!!!
We had some chicks trying to learn how to surf in the inside. This is Mariel from Canada riding a mushy one.
Today the Nicaraguan Surfing Team headed out to Salvador to participate in the 4th Central American Surf Contest where 5 different countries will to try to win this tournament.

FROM THE ARCHIVES
The surf doesn’t get this good very often in October because we have a lot of storm patterns usually during this month. Today was one of the best days we have had in a while. D-Lite is caught here watching this barreling right with no takers right before we paddled out.
Today the wind die down a bit and we made it out to Maderas. The locals were having fun by themself for almost a hour because later on the wind came on again. It’s head high on sets and we finally saw the sun after more tham a week raining, check it out.
OK, Pancho here with the Sunday Surf Report. Today we’ve got macking swell in the water – it’s 6′ at 16 seconds and there are lines of swell stacked out to the horizon. Unfortunately, we’re being dogged by the same storm and onshore winds that have been working us for the past week or so…
