Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hey there everyone and welcome to the eve of Christmas Eve surf report. That’s right, we’re still celebrating a little early with some pretty awesome surf right now, down here in Nica-Land. Come check it out with me!
The swell came in a little more, early this morning, along with some pretty strong offshore winds.
Better gear up good! Jamie about to do battle with some jelly fish.
The swell really was well overheard, this is just what it looks like when you’re an almost 7 foot tall surfer.
Adam trying to beat the odds of the offshores this morning. Getting into the rights was a bit of some work.
What did one fisherman ask to the other fisherman in Gigante. “How big is your Panga”? Either way, I’m pretty sure this Panga has yours’ beat!
John G almost got barreled by 10 toes this morning. This brings a whole new meaning to hang ten!
So you’re taking off on a wave with 25+ mph winds coming up the wave face. This is kinda what it looks like.
And to think these really aren’t our strong winds yet.
Still looks pretty amazing, though!
I have a surprise X-mas gift for you guys… my favorite dedicated NSR surf fans.
My buddy and fellow photographer @jairo_ramos_photo (aka) “Come Pan” was out there shooting and got some sick water shots from yesterday. Enjoy the next little batch of slides Jairo so nicely wanted to share with us today!
Front side or backside, where do you see yourself in this little mind surfing nugget of an empty sick wave.
Rex was out there slaying the waves here. He’s been surfing for many years, can’t you tell.
Doggy door looking at doggy mountain.
If the lineup looks a little light (in humans) you’d be correct. The surf crowds this time of year are always at an all time low. I guess it helps if you just live here.
I’m not sure if this is a typical sign of peace and good will to men, (hence the Christmas times) or if this is barrel number two of the session?
Rex following in hot pursuit of his amigo Jersson. Can’t you tell these guys work a lot with Jairo to get the sickest shots. Too bad Jairo got worked by the jellies though. I saw his upper body. There wasn’t a place on it that had non-welted marks on it. That’s called taking one for the team!
I actually posted this same wave of Lesthers yesterday, but this angle and lighting is beyond ridiculous.
Sick one Jairo!!! Thank you so much for sharing some of your epic shots from yesterday. Give him a follow on Insta @jairo_ramos_photo I guarantee you’ll like what you see!
Well it’s time for this session to come to an end. I can’t wait to wake up early and see what mother nature has in store for us tomorrow. If you’re not out running around trying to score some last minute Christmas gifts for a friend, family member or loved one, stop on by to see the surf for free!!! Any day, everyday, 365 days of the year! See ya again real soon…! ~

Happy holidays to you all and welcome to another edition of the Nicaragua Surf Report. The swell has backed off a little but still running in the shoulder to head high range. Day three of swell with lines coming through and hardly a soul in the lineup. Sunny skies and breezy offshores all day long.
Hello guys and gals and happy humpday! Welcome to the NSR surf report from up north with Parker. Check out the early morning shots!
Hello everybody, This new swell is increasing more and more, today the sets come in groups of seven and sometime there were more that ten. The offshore wind is strong in the morning and slow in the afternoon. See the energy of the ocean.
