PLAYA COLORADO
Hello everyone, welcome to the first week of November in Nicaragua. So far it’s not looking good because we have a massive hurricane Eta coming our way.
For the last couple of days all the Weather experts have been following the development of a Tropical Storm that in a matter of hours grew into a huge hurricane heading towards the North of the Caribbean Coast of Nicaragua.
The storm is expected to touch land tonight, and it’s already creating a lot of rain throughout the whole country… and onshore and messy conditions here on the Southern Pacific coast of the country.
Today was a sunny morning but the weather started to change into a foggy, cloudy, dark enviroment.
I couldn’t take photos in the morning because I was making sure all the houses we manage in Rancho Santana were secure and ready to hold the upcoming storm. They took down the palapas at the Iguana Beach Club to avoid the winds to rip them apart.
2020 keeps surprising us… Hurricane Eta has big chances of turning into a Cat 5 right before hitting Nicaragua. Definitely not what I expected for November.
Please pray for all the people that will get affected by this hurricane, they are evacuating big areas on the Caribbean coast and all along the risky areas for floods and landslides across the country.
We still don’t know how this area will be affected, probably just a lot of rain for a few days… in the mean time, a quick Volleyball game to reduce stress before the rain starts.
Not much surfing today, and not much of a sunset either… we can only wait a few days for better conditions so we all can keep enjoying the surf that we all love. Take care everyone!
RECENT REPORTS
Hey amigos! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Colorados. I saw the waves turn on and off about 7 separate times today. The conditions were in constant flux. It just so happened to be that the best window of the day was when I took pictures around 1:00pm.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Wednesday’s surf report from Colorados. The waves were better by all measurable metrics today. It was still walled up and slow, but there were definitely some 10 pointers to be had.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Tuesday evening’s surf report from Colorados. The swell was bigger and stronger today, but it was very slow between the sets. I think the lack of a secondary swell combined with the sandbars not being in perfect shape made for long waits.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Welcome for another weekend of fun in the sun on this fine Saturday in November. It’s Freaking November amigos! AND it could’t be any more fun out there. We had some smaller sized surf, but the conditions were epic! Come on in and see who was out there in the mix.
Good afternoon everyone. The surf dropped a bit again today, but we still had some fun waves in the waist-head high range.
Hello everyone, I hope this week has been very productive for all of you. Here in Nicaragua the waves are small but, guess what… they are fun as always!
