Nicaragua Surf Report for Thursday, December 14, 2017

Javier Baldovinos

Hello people, welcome to Thursday’s surf report. The forecast for today was 1-2 feet, and it was right on point. Small little peelers with a strong offshore.

Maybe the forecast was a little off here at Colorado… this wave looks like a 3 footer, or it is just the big curtain created by the offshore?

There was not that much activity in the water but it was a different story at the beach. There were people basking in the sun, others walking around and lots of kids playing and building sand castles.

Javier Baldovinos

You better be building those sand castles very strong because that wind might blow them away!

Check out that little A-frame that once in a while broke on the north side of Colorado, looks like a fun place to be with a longboard.

It’s great to let your kids play in the sand all day, after all, they are on vacation, right? But this is the tropics and the sun burns like a hot iron so it’s a good practice to cover your kids with sunscreen every hour, especially if they are outside right at midday.

Colorado was not offering a great surf report material (as it usually is) so I decided to go check out other spots.

You might not know but, for the last week or so, Nicaragua has being the host of the Central American Olympic Games 2017, and now that Surfing has being recognize as an Olympic sport, the Nicaraguan Surf Team is ready to win some Gold medals and, hopefully, win a spot for the Japan Olympics in 2020. Here the Nicaraguan team during yesterday’s parade on the streets of San Juan del Sur.

We couldn’t have an international surf competition without the Sand Ceremony, where every country that is participating brings sand from one of their beaches and, one by one, put all the sands together representing the unity between all surfing nations. Here is Rex Calderon and Valentina Resano representing Nicaragua in these Olympic Games.

The NSR Team, and probably all the NSR fans around the world, wishes the Nicaraguan Surf Team only the best! (Sad that the waves are tiny!) **Photos taken from FENISURF facebook page, by Jerson Barbosa.

So, back to the waves after Colorado I went to my home break, Santana beach, and it looked very similar as Colorado but maybe with a little more push.

Javier Baldovinos

There were just a few guys out, catching mostly only the lefts. It doesn’t look that bad, right?

There were also a few people on the sand enjoying the day her at Santana.

Looks like it’s going to be this small for a whole week until Santa brings some swell right for Christmas… exactly what I put on my Christmas list. Happy Holidays!
