Nicaragua Surf Report for Monday, June 06, 2022

Brian Scott

Hola amigos! Buena onda y Feliz Lunes! I’m back, so cheers to another trip around the sun & Huge Thank YOU to Mr. Chris for covering me ayer (yesterday). We won’t go into details of how old I am haha, BUT we will talk about the weather and look at some pretty cool shots from today…. So Enjoy ~

Brian Scott

It was raining cats and dogs, shoots I think it was more like it was raining vacas y caballos (cows and horses out there this morning). Straight up down pouring rain and I was starting to wonder if I was going to be able to get in some time to sneak down to the beach, let alone whether anyone was even out?

Brian Scott

To my surprise, (the rain had stopped too btw) but I was blown away with how many people were out surfing. However, looking back towards the east and especially towards Gigante, I knew another big rain squall was looming and moving in quickly. So I shot as much as I could, as quickly as I could but mother nature caught me with my pants down (i.e. no camera/rain protection whatsoever) so I boogied, no more like RAN as I was half way down the beach and my moto where I had my camera bag with my rain cover was in as fast as I could.

Brian Scott

Ahhhhhh, one of the best things you could ever buy or have in your camera bag. I really never have to use this very often as I am pretty good about timing the weather, but supposedly this is going to be one of the wettest La Niña years in a long long time. If you look closely not even the cover was keeping the rain off of my lens. It got to a point where my camera could barely focus because of all the water droplets on the glass. My shirt, shorts, everything was soaked, so I shot what I could and figured I’d make my way back with what I had.

Some people were even coming in.

Over it and calling it a day, and it wasn’t even 10am yet.

But then I saw more people going out…..

And just like that, the clouds dissipated and the sun even came out and it started to look like a semi nice, decent good lighting day (minus the onshore part).

Brian Scott

How's that for a change in light, color, and tac sharp photos, since I went back to my moto to wipe off my glass and remove my rain cover as I didn’t see any need for that anymore. Glad I got back down in time to see Jackson throwing this HUGE air!!!

Brian Scott

The lighting got amazing, and the wave faces kinda went a little glassy, despite all that onshore wind blown texture out the back. This guy has something ahead that he’s got his eyes on……

Brian Scott

BOOOOM!!! There it is!

Brian Scott

Some nice swell, its just those darn backwards winds. Didn’t matter though, everyone out was ripping!

Brian Scott

Check out this kids sick backside cutback. Super sick!!

Brian Scott

I am pretty sure almost everyone out surfing comes from some sort of very similar waves as they were surfing today, which would explain why they were so comfortable looking out there.

Brian Scott

Rock’ n’ Rolll. . . all the way!!!

Brian Scott

Even his pops was killing it out there with his son.

Sun was back to shining and the smiles were abundant! You never know what you’re gonna get during the rainy season, BUT you can always count on some smiles and shaka’s will be thrown. Aloha and here’s to another week of Nica-Land. I will see you all again tomorrow. Saludos ~
