Nicaragua Surf Report for Monday, May 16, 2022

Brian Scott

Welcome to a new week of waves AND that building swell that’s been pretty awesome the last few days wasn’t finished sending us some big bombs our way today! A was a bit gloomy out (grey skies), but the winds were nice and offshore. . . just another day in Nica Land barely even reaching mid season yet and its been a great start up to this point!

Big, really big set rights coming in. . . a bit lully, but the rights were fast, so not many takers.

John G will always be out when it’s firing. Sitting super deep waiting to pick off the giant ones that everyone gets cleaned up on.

Brian Scott

Like I said, not too many takers on those freight train rights. But this kid got the view of the day and happily sacrificed his body for all our viewing pleasure!

The looky-loo’s on the land.

The looky-loo’s in the water. This is how it looked for a moment when I didn’t see any waves coming through at any of the 3 or 4 peaks that were working. Hence the little bit of the earlier mention of the lully moments.

Buzzy out there joining forces with John G, the only two tackling the well overhead waves today on their big LB’s. Styling!

There was a little bit of some shortboard shredding going down too.

Chris R, aka your favorite amigo and concierge for NSR, eating barrels for lunch hahaha! (ps. that’s him in the very first intro pic paddling his booty off to catch that big dreamy left!)

Brian Scott

Chris M, on another big left.

Super fast out there, some people coming out unscathed and the other half. . . well, let’s just say I saw enough carnage today to make a whole report of just that. People getting annihilated!

Brian Scott

This guy got the biggest and gnarliest wave I saw of the day!!!

Brian Scott

He’s fully committed, getting both the land shot and the water shot. But that monster had his way with him and I’m pretty sure he got to see what was going on on the bottom there for a while. Charging though amigo!!!!!

Brian Scott

If you make the walk over, it’s more exciting on the way here. The way back is less enticing as those rocks are pretty sketchy in places, especially with that high tide that was coming in quick! Cuidado mis amigos!!!  Alrighty then, that’s the report for today. What do you say we do it all over again tomorrow shall we?!?!?!  C Ya out there ~
