Nicaragua Surf Report for Friday, April 19, 2024

Josh S

Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. Today was likely the smallest day of surf we will see for another 5 days or so. That being said there were still some head high plus sets every now and again.

The insiders were often the cleanest and hollowest waves.

The tide was pretty high so it was good for “roller coaster” lines, like what this guy here demonstrated.

The infamous wheelie floater. The real question is if he did a bunny hop back down the face of the wave?

I like this guy’s form and technique during his backside lip tag. He’s ready to rotate!

Josh S

This lip better be ready haha! Rusty coming in hot!

Yoga, breakdancing, and surfing. When on vacation the only acceptable line to take is “Full Send Brah” haha.

A nice pig dog on display from this old timer. I gotta admit I’m jealous of his OG style Quiksilver rash guard. That thing will be a collector’s item someday after Quiksilver goes bankrupt.

The younger fellas were more nimble and agile out there though! We have to leverage our favorable hip mobility while we can!

Good mechanics on this roun-dee-house from another young buck. He’s eyeing up the whitewater for the rebound.

This guy’s lining up the head-butt to bust through the lip when this wave engulfs him. A good tactical move on his part given the chandelier section that is inbound.

Another day of waves at Colorados. Nothing too special, but each day more and more sand is getting pulled out and replenishing the sandbars. This next swell is gonna pack some serious heat. Tomorrow it starts but it peaks on Monday. Time to wax up the guns and step-ups!
