Nicaragua Surf Report for Monday, May 11, 2020

Brian Scott

Hola and welcome to the Monday surf report. We still have some incredible swell out there in the water. Conditions were a little scattered in terms of when to find the good window, but that’s why I stayed down there almost the entire day shooting & watching. Here’s my take on todays waves! Hope you enjoy!

Brian Scott

I’ve got to start off the slideshow with my hermano Emi… he’s been out of the water almost this entire swell with a back injury. This one’s for you buddy!!! Good to see you back out in the action.

Brian Scott

The amount of water time all these guys have been putting in is ridiculous! I’m talking about some serious barrels, wipeouts, and everything in-between. Manny here taking a break from all the really BIG stuff at the outer reefs today.

Brian Scott

Cool to see my buddy Sean Pearson cruise down this way for some waves today. He’s a legend in his own right here in Nicaragua as he’s been on the countrymen’s National team for years helping to put Nica on the map for surfing. He also has one of the best surf camps along the Emerald coast here (called Playgrounds Surf Camp if you’ve ever been here you gotta check it out!) But I’ve know Sean since he was a grom back when we used to motor up north from San Juan Del Sur on Eberly’s boat what seems like ages ago.

Chocoyo locked and loaded for a rare PC left today.

Brian Scott

Was he deep on this one…. Yup!

Brian Scott

And here’s my proof he excited with ease.

Another charger down here who’s been getting absolutely shacked off his melon the last 72 hours….

Matthew Blevins (aka Nica Time). You may have seen his viral video recently on Surfline, where he got maybe his 100th wave of this swell and it was super sick!!!

Brian Scott

Because most of the time, he’s usually hiding like he is here under some pretty big salt mines.

Brian Scott

Coming out could be controversial if you make a big claim. However, if you’ve ever surfed here and you get as many barrels as him, if he makes a claim… that means it was a pretty special barrel.

Brian Scott

And it don’t stop!

Brian Scott

This swell has been nothing short of amazing!!!

Brian Scott

What’s Crazy is this is the same wave from that set you saw in the last slide. Just wanted to show you for perspective how crazy this place gets. Wish I had a surfer on this wave for perspective of size tho!

Brian Scott

Josh told me he surfed today from 7:30am until about 45 after this shot was taken. This shot was at about 12:48pm. You can do the math with how long he surfed out there today!

Brian Scott

Another rare left on this super west maxing and super hard pushing west swell.

Brian Scott

D-man on another on of the many drainers that he’s been loving ever since he got stuck in Nicaragua.

Brian Scott

Carlos Perez has been surfing this crazy 5’ 8” the entire swell… well except for the 5’ 11” he borrowed and rode out at an outer reef all day yesterday.

Brian Scott

Needless to say…. whatever is under Carlos’s feet, works! Watcha think??

Brian Scott

When it starts doing this…. is when I say it’s time to run and offload, rehydrate and get ready for round two for the days surf photo sessions.

Brian Scott

Coming back in the later afternoon, this is what I found.

Brian Scott

Emi going for round two as well!

Brian Scott

I think I’m a new found believer in Plasma research!!!! Yewwww amigo!

Brian Scott

Philipo on an afternoon gem…. double hand drag stall that thing hermano!

Brian Scott

Colin was another one surfing his brains out yesterday at the outer reefs. Gosh man, this must feel like cotton balls to you… haha, is that the term you told me???

Brian Scott

Dario and some others have been surfing a special place up the road that’s actually one of the only places around here that can handle really big swell like this and its a right hand breaking point break like wave.

Brian Scott

Unfortunately I can’t tell you guys where this wave is… but I promise on our next BIG swell next weekend, I’m going to try and get you some pics so you can see for yourself.

Brian Scott

Danny-boy coming into his own at our amazing waves here in Nicaragua!

Brian Scott

Nacho pulling into one heck of an afternoon delight kind of wave!

Brian Scott

When all is said and done after todays surfing action by the end of the day, I must say it was a really good day!

Brian Scott

If this image doesn’t make you agree….. well, I’m not sure what else will???

Ok amigos… I have one more day of reporting until it’s my day off. Who’s in for mañana? :)
