Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hello everyone and welcome to another Nicaragua surf report. The waves are a little smaller today. Given the holidays, though, the beach has been pretty busy. Despite, or maybe because of, the small waves everyone seemed to be having a good time. The wind, strong at times, was offshore all day. The water is still nice and warm.
Today was all about picking up the necessary speed for a final move as the waves closed out. Here is one local grom in mid-pump.
The waves picked up a bit in size as the tide got higher, providing enough juice for the young guys to boost a few airs.
The real excitement today happened when a local fisherman snagged this Rooster fish from his handline. He was in knee deep water close to the surf and needed help from a friend and his lobster hook to be sure the big Gallo didn’t get away. We are looking forward to a forecasted bump in swell in the next few days. Stay posted.
RECENT REPORTS
Hey everyone! Welcome to Tuesday’s surf report from Panga Drops. The swell was notably stronger than I expected. Some early season Pacific power! Middle peak was the place to be, but it was windy.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Monday’s surf report from French Fries. The waves were pretty much firing when I rocked up to take pictures, but just like yesterday the wind went side-shore as soon as I put the camera away. At least some surfers caught the magic window.
Hey amigos! Welcome to March 1st’s surf report from French Fries. The waves were really fun in the late morning and early afternoon. The wind direction was perfect, but then flipped side-shore right as I went to grab my board haha.
