I actually arrived at the beach around 2:30pm. I was hoping to beat the tide before it dropped too far, but I was too late. The only thing going on with the super low tide was some fishing…

And only one surfer out. Mi Amigo Dario with the whole entire lineup, scratch that, the entire bay of Hacienda Iguana, all to himself.

I decided to park it under a nice shady tree and take a little much needed siesta until around 4pm, since I knew the conditions would improve.

Tony Z made the tardy afternoon paddle out, since he knows this place just as well.

April isn’t the only tax time, Nica has taxes all year around.

Don’t worry Mr. Reef up north, Colorados will shut down soon enough and you will have all of your glory for the next few months as scheduled. Sorta. Not as long as these southern swells keep providing the way they have been.

I could easily pull any shot from my archives and do a side by side comparison with this photo and a similar photo from April to July and you would never be able to tell the difference. The magic is that this is in December, with only about 5 people out.

Zac with maybe one of his last big “Zak Attack Lip Smacks”, before he ventures on to start the new chapter in his life with his family after living here in Nica for many years. Good luck with the new journey amigo!

This grom is one of the luckiest groms on the planet right now. Scoring a mysto swell like this in December is like winning a lotto ticket, except he doesn’t have to be over 18 to get this winning ticket!

Even though the low tide was still pretty out there (see the below sea level drainage going on here) I can only hope/imagine tomorrow will be just as good on the higher tide early on in the day. XX Crossing fingers!!!

As the sun began to fade, the lineup still only had about 5 people out. Mystery surfer dude racing to get his last barrel of the day.

I can only surmise that a paddlers foot may have created this little chandelier for this tube hound. Either way, he managed to break on through to the other side!!

If you recollect, this is the exact same position Laird took on his groundbreaking Millennium wave at Teahupoo. Ok, I know there’s no comparison to the size, but the stance still looks just as cool on any wave.
