Somewhere in Nicaragua
I woke up this morning and caught the local news which said that Hurricane Beta has been upgraded to a Category 3 storm with 115mph winds AND that it turned around and is now heading SSW TOWARDS the atlantic coast of Nicaragua. The last and only time Nicaragua was actually hit by a hurricane was Joanna in 1988. So, today we still have decent weather, light onshores and head high sets. We went to Maderas to get what might be our last surf for a day or two if this thing hits us.
We grabbed Roque, who is always eager to get to the beach. Sometimes he’s a little too eager – that’s me he snaked on this one.
Robert caught this chick after a long night out – evidently she was vomiting on the beach. It’s a good thing the tide was coming up.
RECENT REPORTS
Hey amigos! Welcome to Thursday evening’s surf report from Colorados. The swell was even bigger today. Still slow between the sets, but definitely some keepers to be had.
Hey everyone! Welcome to a special surf report from Colorados! It was hard for me to believe it, but there were some good waves at Colorados this Wednesday evening. Yuji enjoying the best tunnel vision he’s had in all of 2026.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Tuesday evening’s surf report from Panga Drops. The swell came up some today, but the wind was vicious and ripping all day until sunset. Kai found some of the better waves this evening.
