Hey everybody! Happy weekend and welcome to the NSR report with Hotsticks. The swell is not pumping; however, it’s still super fun! Check it out.

But the sets came in at a good size. Thursday and Friday featured a fun pulse. Now, the swell is on it’s way out until a new pulse comes in Sunday through Monday. No complaints for back to back swells…

Ohh. And there’s another one coming in later in the week too.

This direction is fun for a lot of reefs and points but I’m not the biggest fan of it at our home break. Good sized lefts peak here but they often run and the barrels are almondy. However, I am a regular footer so take it with a grain of salt.

I went to the beach at mid tide hoping to see some more action. Because the swell was on its way out and the tide was on its way in, the waves weren’t epic. Still a fun morning surf though.

Therefore, there were a lot of fun corners to hit.

Some locals cruised through the lineup to see what the visitors and conditions were doing.

So if you need a plan for the weekend, here it is: surf all day today, hit the beach club for happy hour and volleyball, then see what’s going on at Sidebar or Ananas for the evening.

This bodyboarder was sitting deep on the left picking off some gems. Keep that high line bro…

He didn’t make it through the section that clamped but the wave kept steaming down the beach. Somebody else hop on!!

Do you follow us on Instagram (@surfnsr)? I was hoping Pancho could help me caption this sequence. First, notice the giant snowball.

Yeah, I’m not really sure what happened either but that is like 4 “ohh buddies” in one wave. Moral of the story: don’t snowball and ruin somebody’s wave, don’t go over the falls, and don’t earn 4 ohh buddies in one wave.

Because, trust me, there is plenty to go around. Be patient and respectful and you will get rewarded.

This unknown surfista sat on the right and dropped into a few funs ones. Steezed out and looking to get deeper!

In case you were wondering, that bodyboarder was still locking into those fast lefts.

I always say "one more wave and I'll head in." On fun mornings, I saw "one more wave and I'll wrap up the report."

It wouldn’t be a Parker report if I didn’t feature at least one photo of the heavy rights that come through the northern peak, would it? It’s lunchtime here in NICA Land so I’m going to scarf some food down and enjoy a lunch time surf. Nos vemos en la agua amigos!!!
