The swell is here! The sandbars are shaped thanks to the last couple of weeks’ rain so, if you are thinking about taking a Nicaragua surf trip, you are wasting your time thinking, just come now!

I went early in the morning right at high tide and just a few surfers were there. Solid 4-6 ft waves rolling down the beach, the surf conditions were not so clean but there were plenty of waves to pick from.

The direction of this swell is not the right one for first peak to work the way everyone like, but Candido Quedo was having a great time there.

I met this guy on the beach, he’s name is Peter (didn’t get his last name). He was killing it and his photographer probably has some really good proof of it.

Going left the barrels were long and fast and a lot of the times it was hard to catch them, even if you started running on the water.

But it doesn’t mean it could not be done. The same guy from last photo but this time locked in position and ready to get some cover.

There was only one girl out, he was in the same group with Peter and the photographer, and he was also ripping.

I finally met Alex from Puerto Rico, I thought he was just another one week tourist but after seeing him here every day for the last few months I wanted to meet him and get his name for the report.

Of course, there were many barrels without an exit, once inside there was no way out.

Sometimes after the drop, you had to hit the breaks to be able to get barreled.

If you are dying to come to Nicaragua but don't have any money to travel, or to get a vacation rental house on the beach, this is your opportunity... and you are helping a good cause!
