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
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.
Hello Monday, we had some rain overnight and some on and off drizzle during the day. This has been making for light winds and a relief from the heat. @tonyzphotos reporting.
Happy Sunday and Father’s Day to all the papas out there. We have some inconsistent surf in the waist to shoulder high range. @tonyzphotos reporting.
