Nicaragua Surf Report for Tuesday, September 05, 2023

Josh S

Happy Tuesday everyone! Here’s another day of splendid surf from Colorados. We lucked out with yet another day of good barrels.

Josh S

Although there were mostly tubes made this morning while I was shooting, I’ll start today’s report with a nice boost from Mr. Yellow down the beach. Reach for the stars amigo.

Josh S

Anthony gets the first barrel sequence of today’s report. This was a super glassy one further down South slightly toward the beach club.

Josh S

I like his tall, laid back stance through this barrel. Making it look easy Anthony!

Josh S

Here he’s stomping on the break pad to try to bleed another second of shade time from the tube. When in Rome right?

Josh S

And an easy make of a beautiful right hander to start his Tuesday morning. A lot of people train for weeks or months or years and spend lots of coin in the hopes of pulling off what Anthony just did.

Josh S

I don’t know this gentleman here, but I heard him speaking Spanish in the water today so I assume he is Latin American. Anyways he got an even better than Anthony, no disrespect though Anthony!

Josh S

Perfect form. Locked and loaded.

Josh S

How deep can you get? That’s the question when the waves are hollow, but not heavy enough to seriously injure you. This point is subjective though haha

Josh S

I can only see your nose dude! Haha

Josh S

He fought through the pinching end-section to bust out of the bottom of the wave/tube.

Josh S

If the barrel wasn’t enough to max out his points, this guy went for even more value by whipping out a strong carve on the inside section. Bonus points.

Josh S

I think this lady’s name is Lucia. She packed a few keepers this morning as well. Here’s one of them.

Josh S

She knows Houdini’s moves, i.e. the disappearing act.

Josh S

Dang… This was a nice right. Look at how crispy clean it is!

Josh S

An unexpected twist?! It looks like the lip is trying to clamp sooner than usual.

Josh S

No problemo for Lucia. She had that doggy-door exit lined up well in advance. All according to Keikaku ;)

Josh S

Here’s Derek, a friendly guy I met two days ago, sneaking into an inside left drainer. There were sooooo many tubes today even though it wasn’t as powerful as the peak days of the swell.

Josh S

Here’s our (assumed) Lat-Am amigo booking some more tube time.

Josh S

Make sure your sat comfortably right now. This guy logged some solid time behind the curtain on this one.

Josh S

He’s deep, he’s got speed, and it’s a goooood wave. Yep, this is gonna be a long sequence.

Josh S

His read on this wave was perfect. Just keep bobbing and weaving.

Josh S

Where’d he go? Ahh I still see you!

Josh S

Weaving his way on out.

Josh S

This wave just did not stop barreling. LOL

Josh S

Alrighty, the lips tapping you on the shoulder. Time to get out now!

Josh S

He ducked down low and snuck out instead of getting greedy. A wise decision as the section up top pinched tight.

Josh S

He’s not content with just the tube, he’s opting to rack up some more bonus points again.

Josh S

He earned the finale surf shot of today’s report. The Finale Floater! 10 pointer on this one shreddah.

Josh S

Another epic report in my opinion. 30 photos came your way most of which were some quality tubes. We really are blessed here aren’t we ;) This spot is pretty slept on relative to many other famous surf breaks in the world, and I’m somewhat glad. Tourism has been gradually ticking up here which is a good trend for nearly everyone, some of the older folks here don’t appreciate it, but it’s good for the economy (except that it puts an inflationary pressure on prices in the touristy areas, but this is a nearly inevitable consequence of an increase in tourism in a particular area). Well, I’ll probably be behind the lens for at least a few more days, so let’s see if the South Pacific can continue to provide for us hungry surfers!
