Nicaragua Surf Report for Friday, January 18, 2019

Brian Scott

Happy TGIF folks! Today was a great day for sailing if you wanted to get to another continent quickly! Haha I kid, but the winds were strong and by the looks of it, we may have some of those front runners to this weekend swell we were supposed to start seeing today. So without further ado let’s jump on in!

Brian Scott

With the current strong winds we’re having, getting into any waves today was definitely an effort.

I guess the second challenging factor would be on deciding on whether or not to kick out when the crossed up swell lines came together, thus creating these weird looking double ups.

Colin taking the challenge head on and making the air drop out in the flats.

Brian Scott

That’s how you buckle a good board… or better yet, your leg. OUCH!

Brian Scott

Great day for walking on the beach in the blistering sun, but not feeling like your roasting because the winds feel so nice and cool today.

See what I was saying about the challenging “take-off” conditions. Phi Lu getting all hung up on and not even on his cell phone.

If you happened to check out our insta-stories from today, then you saw the return of the legendary Tommy Tsunami giving us one of is classic surf forecast directly from the check out spot.

Brian Scott

Here’s Tommy riding out easily the longest wave I saw ridden out there today.

Brian Scott

Normally he could have kept on going, but that weird closeout section kept him from continuing on down the line, forcing him to straighten out. But that was definitely a leg burner right buddy!?!?

Brian Scott

Tom stoked as always surfing his favorite wave in Nicaragua.

Brian Scott

One man exits, another man enters. Maycol jumping in, mind you he’s not even wearing his rashy. You Cray Cray little hermano, that water is pretty chili!

Brian Scott

Front runners. Yup. Will it be ON tomorrow? Hopefully…!!!

Brian Scott

Even if it’s still this size tomorrow, sure looks fun as heck.

Brian Scott

We’ll just hope the winds aren’t as nuclear as they were today.

Brian Scott

Grab ya loved ones… not only because they’re the best thing in your life, but they might just blow away!

Brian Scott

Life lesson for the day… put everything you got into what you do each day, like this super sick manly turn Colin’s putting on for display.

Thanks for stopping by for todays surf goodness. Come on back tomorrow to see what the ocean might bring us with this (supposedly) new swell. Adiós por ahora ~
