Top of the morning, y'all! Buenos dias a todos! Welcome to the Nicaragua Surf Report for Friday. We hope you've been productive this week and are looking forward to some well deserved weekend adventures. Well it rained in Nicaragua last night, a full week before my prediction of yesterday. It wasn't a lot but enough to count as the first of the rainy season which usually doesn't get going for a couple more weeks.

Strolling up to the beach this morning we were greeted by clean offshore conditions which look like they may stick around all day today. Waves are about shoulder high on sets and the water is super warm again.

At low tide today there were lots of closeouts, with the occasional fast corners. This guy on the green board is about to make the most of this one.

If you got the right one and were able to make yourself small enough there were even some little tubos to be had. Yeah, Sean!

This is what happens when you're "just having a look". Hanging out on the should here can really ruin it for the guy in position. Have fun, but please be considerate.

You could almost call it head high on the sets today. Anyone for a little beach volleyball this afternoon?

Teach em young! They learn how to provide for their families at an early age in Nicaragua. Handlining is one of many essential skills for a grommet growing up on the coast. Thanks for checking in. This little utility swell starts to back off tonight and into tomorrow. Beyond that the forecast is looking good. Keep us locked to your Bookmarks bar and check us out on FB (Nicaragua Surf Report) and IG (@surfnsr). Holla!

Hello everyone, this is Baldo reporting from Santana beach. We forgot to tell you that tomorrow and Sunday the Circuito Nacional de Surf 2017 is organizing the first event of the year here at our local beach. If you are in the country you should come to check it out and root for your favorite surfer.

It was pretty crowded because all the surfers from around the country arrived today to at least have a small taste of the waves before the contest.

The beach was full of action too, there were people getting in and out of the water, there were tents getting ready for the competition, and the Santana boys watching their visitors surfing their home break.

it´s amazing to see the level of surfing here at Santana. How much it´d grown in only 11 years since the Circuito Nacional de Surf was founded.

The last few years Dexter Ramirez has being running the show behind the curtain. Him with Juan Carlos Sandino an others have dedicated a lot of hours of work to get everything ready before the events, and a bunch more hours under the sun judging and making sure each event goes smooth. Good job guys!!

Each new competition is a challenge for everyone, surfers are getting better which means that judging gets harder and harder. Sadly I´m not going to be able to help on this competition because I´m going on an 9-day adventure!

While everyone is going to be enjoying the big swell of next week… I´ll be navigating with some friends from Texas and Colorado (US, not Iguana) the Río Grande de Matagalpa across (real) jungles of Nicaragua all the way to the Caribbean on a SUP. The plan is to make a documentary about the adventure, visiting indigenous population in the area. You´ll get to know about my trip once I get back in 10 days.
