Nicaragua Surf Report for Friday, June 08, 2018

Brian Scott

Happy Aloha Friday Folks! Ok, we don’t really celebrate Aloha Friday here, but it’s never too late right? Anyhow, Aloha to all my dearest and closest surf report friends, lets see what kind of funky weather and waves we had out there today to help kick off the weekend shall we…

When I got down to the playa to shoot with some of my amigos visiting from South America, everything seemed to look to be pretty normal for our average after noon session.

Brian Scott

Waves were still on the smaller side (that is until we receive our new swell which should hopefully and maybe come in a little early tomorrow - crossing fingers!)

Brian Scott

Did you know we have real live mermaids here in Nicaragua? They come from the sea on days like today and transform so they can walk; but if you don’t believe me, come here to see for yourselves! It’s amazing!

This is about where things turned around for our afternoon session.

That’s right, we were about to get dumped on by a nice little rain squall that was coming from inland.

Brian Scott

The winds tend to blow pretty hard (northerly), making for this trippy looking cross-offshore mixed up storm surf.

Brian Scott

I will say though, it sure helps with the effects of how big your turns and the spray looks.

Brian Scott

See what I mean!

Brian Scott

As windy looking as it is, the rain and winds kinda help glass everything off eventually once the rains subside.

Brian Scott

That and of course if the sun decides to pop back out, it’s a Big Bonus!

Brian Scott

Magic hour lighting anyone??? Bueller…. Bueller??

When I said “lets see what kind of funky weather and waves we had out there today to help kick off the weekend” I wasn’t kidding at all.

The calm, nice barreling waves, before the real storm.

Check out how hard the winds are blowing the foam on the inside section here. Or how about them whitecaps out the back? There’s a plenty of rain coming and very soon!

Brian Scott

If you’re asking yourself, ok, so where are you posted up to stay dry throughout all this wet weather? Wouldn’t you like to know?? This is years of shooting here and knowing where to run to when it’s necessary, like today.

Brian Scott

Ok, so to clarify from todays report; yes we have mermaids, no we don’t have unicorns, but we do have insane rainbows at the end of every good shower. Nicaragua is definitely a place of mystery and majestic beauty all at the same time. This is my Aloha Friday surf report and I’m sticking to it! See ya mañana mi amigos ~
