Somewhere in Nicaragua
Howdy everyone! Welcome to Friday’s surf report from Colorados. The wind was ripping hard onshore this morning. Likely one of the windier days I’ve seen this year.
The lineup was (justifiably) empty. So we can just mind-surf this morning’s wind swell.
Didn’t believe me about the wind? Well the palm trees will tell you the exact same thing I did haha!
The tide was very low this morning, so there was plenty of energy unwinding and detonating on the south-side boulders.
These two doggies had the most fun this morning. They had the wide-open low-tide beach all to themselves. Chase and tag.
Choose your air-section: the right or the left?
I took today’s photos at low-tide, so “Cyclops” wasn’t working yet. The water is so thick with silt and debris that there were still a few cheeky tubes. Not worth paddling for though haha.
This one stayed open all the way to the end. You would’ve needed a strong anti-bacterial hose down or a bio-hazard suit to get out there today though haha.
The faces of the first waves of the sets were fairly smooth. But the water will probably be sketchy for at least a couple more days as the rain continues…
The workers did a solid job cleaning up the South-side of the beach while there was a gap in the rain. The morning window with light rain was the best time to get outside and to the beach. The rain is continuing steady through the afternoon and flooding is picking up in some areas so stay safe out there! As long as there is electricity and some sort of internet, then I’ll bring you tomorrow’s surf action.
RECENT REPORTS
Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday’s surf report from Panga Drops. The surf was tiny and the swell direction was weird, so not even French Fries was working. John and Koji made the right call to pull out the hand-lines.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from French Fries. The waves were small today, but a few people got a very clean window. The vicious off-shores are supposed to start tomorrow, so they might’ve got the last of the good stuff for a bit.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Wednesday evening’s surf report from Panga Drops and French Fries. It was smaller than yesterday and the tide was off, but the wind wasn’t all that bad at sunset. Golden hour glass off. John hustling out there to play stuntman.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Howdy everyone! Josh back behind the lens for the next few days. Welcome to Wednesday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. There were still some nice sets rolling through today, but it wasn’t as consistent as yesterday.
Happy Tuesday folks! It’s been quite a while since I’ve shot a sunset session, so I thought I’d mix it up after taking such a long hiatus from shooting one of the best times of the day at our beloved stretch of beach here at Hacienda Iguana. But in actuality, the real reason is because..
Felicidades a este mágico lunes de olas! Wow, another great day of waves here in November in Nica-Land! It was a complete barrel fest out there this afternoon… so here’s my top 10! Enjoy ~
