Nicaragua Surf Report for Saturday, June 03, 2017

Brian Scott

Hey guys and gals! Welcome back for todays surf report. The new swell that came in yesterday grew a bit more over the night and throughout the day. But the conditions made it a bit challenging out there for those who braved the wild surf!! Check it it out…!

Brian Scott

I heard the morning conditions weren’t all that great, so I decided to wait to check it a little later. I showed up to see some pretty big surf out there with only a handful of really dedicated guys out. Here my buddy Grey was slaying some of the monsters that were coming through today. He’s been surfing here for many years and his barrel riding skills show it.

Brian Scott

There were plenty of photo ops for sure with all the big sets swinging in. I think most people today headed to the reefs and point breaks… which might have been the call??

Brian Scott

This guy’s perfectly comfy in this little sneaker set tube here at our local beachie. Point break or not, you can’y beat an almost empty lineup!

Brian Scott

Like I said… plenty of beautiful photo opportunities today, which was another good reason to skip the challenging conditions, unless you enjoy a good workout, or more like a good beat down.

Brian Scott

Only one guy out at the reef up the road. Believe me when I say it’s a lot bigger than it looks from here.

Brian Scott

Colin managed to find an exceptionally good left today amongst all the rights that were dominating the breaks today. A lot of west in this swell making for mostly rights.

Brian Scott

Andre is visiting here from Nor Cal where I am originally from. Two facts I can think of is that he doesn’t miss his wetsuit right about now and he’s pretty comfortable in big heavy surf (think Ocean Beach).

Bruce Brown was very famous for his classic movies, Endless Summer being one of them. These guys scaling over the rocks, just to come find some surf here today reminded me of that epic scene where the surfers in Endless Summer painstakingly crossed hours of sand dunes just to find prefect waves. It was hot, but those rocks are a lot sharper than sand and they had to deal with this since it was high tide (see next slide).

Brian Scott

Aside from the aforementioned hazards, I sure hope they found their pot of gold!

Brian Scott

Hazardous beauty - all wrapped up into one nice explosion!

Brian Scott

Yes that is actually somewhat of an A-frame, which was not the norm with todays elements. But the airdrop was good enough in my mind to add it to the show!

Brian Scott

My friends Petra and Marc made it down for the carnage show. Welcome amigos!!

Brian Scott

Grey doing once again what he does best.

Brian Scott

Surfed out and waiting for that magical window to appear for today.. I’d say John’s got the best seat in the house if and when it turns on!

Brian Scott

Did someone just yell…… O U T S I D E !!!!??

Brian Scott

I think even this guy heard it!

Brian Scott

There were some really sizable sets out there today. But we still have yet to see our yearly Grandiose swells for this time of year that graces our shores… YET?

Brian Scott

Still though, any takers for our medium-large sized stuff?

Brian Scott

I couldn’t believe Brett was out there on a 5’5” today. But his years of surfing proved, he knew what he was doing.

Brian Scott

I watched as all these guys jumped off the boat they must have went north on today to score some point breaks. I think they’re still talking story about how sketchy it was when that previous set (see a couple images back) almost took them out paddling back in.

Brian Scott

Some people were so stoked to end their surfing session today with their boards still in one piece.

Brian Scott

but some weren’t so fortunate.

Brian Scott

It’s a good thing Colin knows how to shape AND fix surfboards (thanks to shaping for many years under his Pops Señor Eberly) He’ll have this thing back together in no time and be back out there when it gets even bigger!!

Brian Scott

Just remember, when you see the South Pacific going purple (and it will soon enough this season) remember to head to Nica if you want to surf anywhere you want (if you have the cajones) with an almost certain empty lineup.

Brian Scott

Surfing is a way of life, but your life really is all about your children if you are fortunate to have them. Good surfer, amazing dad, beautiful baby girl. The circle of life!

Brian Scott

I want to keep Mr Dan and Stacey and the kiddos happy with surf shots, but showing a little bit of the Volleyball I think is just as key!

Brian Scott

Especially…. THIS GUY!!

Brian Scott

Just another beautiful day in the books as the sun sets and the people play.

Brian Scott

I hope you enjoyed yet another day and a look at the slice of paradise we call Nicaragua. Come back mañana for Sunday Fun-Day and see what mother nature is cooking up! Until then… Buenas Noches! ~
