Nicaragua Surf Report for Monday, August 02, 2021

Brian Scott

Hola friends, welcome to the first Monday of August, also welcome to todays surf report but most importantly, welcome to seeing why this place get’s it’s namesake for being arguably one of the best surf destinations on the planet. Yeah…. Today was pretty darn good!!!!

Brian Scott

My new amigo Kalon, just in from Santa Barbara, already tasting the best of the best in southern Nicaragua. Bienvenido hermano!

Brian Scott

This local is super stealthy smooth and more confident in this size all the way up to your imagination of what this wave can handle at “still surfable-makable size”. He’s born and bred on this wave and saves lives when he’s not cheating his own. Can you guess who my favorite mystery barrel surfer is today?

Brian Scott

I’ll give you an even bigger clue….. this is his kid brother who fits all of that same description above to a “T” but he surfs facing the completely opposite direction. Yeah, two of PC’s finest.

Capitan Chris (I use Capitan loosely as he’s in charge of a lot things around here),

Brian Scott

but here he is putting in a little time in the salt mine today; away from all that land job, work and ya know typical hard labor duty stuffs.

You wouldn’t know it unless you were out there today, but the sand was piping HOT! I mean burn your feet from the waters edge all the way to the nearest shade or greenery you could get to the quickest. However, I sense this gal hasn’t one clue about how hot the sand is on her feet. I think all she sees is how HOT the waves are as they are firing away as she makes her way out to the lineup as quickly as she can!

Of course, seeing this before you paddle out is super inspirational. Like listening to your favorite hard core music in your headphones before you paddle out kind of way.

Carlos AMPED on life more than anything, now that he’s a proud papa. But there must be something about diaper changing that can make a man grow leaps and bounds with how they transform into fatherhood; because he surfs even more insane than before. Hey buddy, when’s #2 Jajaja!

Brian Scott

For all you remote dedicated readers, I’ll just say this… super gnarly lighting and thunder storm going off right now while I’m tucked away in the safety of my little workspace office with ear piercing cracks of lighting touching down with immediate thunder, which obviously indicated how close the strikes are. So much rain coming down the last hour, everywhere is swollen and flooded I heard all the creek passings are now full on rivers, so on that note, before the power may go out…. I’m going to leave you with these few quick last clips from Kai’s super insane last barrel I caught out there today. Enjoy, as I’m pretty sure he did!

Brian Scott

Take a frame like this and multiply it by about 15…. that’s how long he was gone for. Completely covered up and GONE!

Brian Scott

Luckily for me the water was so clear today, I could pretty much see him driving his way through this 100 yard tube.

Brian Scott

So much driving in there he could pass his drivers test in 3 different counties. Haaaaa!

Brian Scott

But no…. Oh hell no. Kai ain’t never gonna end with something so simple and safe. BOOOOOOOOM!!!!

Brian Scott

Well, I hate to have to say adiós, but I will leave you with this pretty nice parting shot of this empty wave. After all this big storm, why dont’cha come on back and check with me to see how the waves look again mañana!

See you then ~
