Nicaragua Surf Report for Friday, July 02, 2021

Brian Scott

Hola & Happy Friday everyone! Well, it’s been a jam packed week of waves and fun for a lot of people who’ve made the trek down to one of Latin Americas finest surf destinations. So much that me and my camera decided to take a little breather from all the So Cal like crowds at the beachie and see what might be happening at the otherwise sad and lonely reef that everyone seems to have forgotten all about.

Brian Scott

When I first got down there today, I thought there wasn’t a single person out, but that’s because they were hidden by the seemingly much bigger set (than compared to say Colorados) that was rolling through at that moment.

Brian Scott

Then after the second or third wave I could just barely see Joe taking off form way out the back. Here he is making a nice bottom turn on a really nice wave.

Brian Scott

Yeah, its not as hollow and fast and exciting as our sister break, but if you like long big waves with lots of room to move around all over the place like one big canvas, this wave is perfect!

Brian Scott

Joe becoming one with this one right, Bob Ross style!

Brian Scott

I had to rub my eyes for a moment, because I thought I saw a sea doo (for you kiddies that is what they used to call jet ski’s at one point in time). But Yup, I was correct. Heck if you don’t want to bother coming here by car, just motor up the ol’ Sea Doo and cruise along with your amigos in the panga and you’re at two fo the best breaks that were working today.

Brian Scott

I see Derek do dat wave just like that! haha you see what I did there?

Brian Scott

Looks like they skipped PD’s like all the the other 50 folks today.

Brian Scott

Think I was kidding eh? Nope! This was the thinned out tide going out crowd too, not to mention not everyone is in frame either. What do you prefer… this…???

Brian Scott

OR this???

Brian Scott

Derek, stoked to be out with only 3 other people and surfing beautiful waves like this here on his borrowed Bonzer, which looks like he’s having a really fun time on.

Brian Scott

What do ya think??? YES, YES and YES to all three right?

Brian Scott

I peeked to see if I was missing anything much down at the southern end. Yah, looks Fun! But maybe I’m just still used to social distancing or something? That crowd made me feel all itchy and I wasn’t even out in the lineup. Haha…. Sick tubo tho mister mystery man way down the way!

Brian Scott

You imagine this place going double to even triple over head? Well it does, and often.

Brian Scott

Like as in this season we’ve had at least 2-3 legit bombing swells each month so far and hopefully we can cruise into July here soon with some more just like those last ones.

Brian Scott

D taking off on a super nice Hawaiian style/color looking wave. True fact, our waters here are actually a bit warmer than Hawaii. One, because we’re closer to the Equator and two, we don’t have the same trade winds. However our offshores beat Hawaiian winds by a landslide.

Brian Scott

But they win by far with the exposure, being out in the middle of the ocean by picking up swell and having massive amounts of energy in every wave that crosses that little stand of magical islands.

Brian Scott

We’re no Hawaii and Hawaii isn’t no Nica; and for that, it’s a beautiful thing, much like Derek’s bottom turns. Every surfer on the planet has not one but two more epic places to decide to travel to or live at. Options are a beautiful thing!

Brian Scott

Well, I guess after a mini marathon sesh getting as many waves as you want practically all to yourself, it looks like Derek is all “Bonzer’ed” out! jaaaajaaa

Brian Scott

Hope this has been a fun and interestingly mixed up surf report to help kick off your weekend. Do your Friday thing and let’s all check back here again mañana to see what’s the haps? Chao ~
