Nicaragua Surf Report for Tuesday, August 02, 2022

Brian Scott

Hola hola & Happy Tuesday everyone! Well, it started out as a nice and semi sunny Tuesday and now it’s been raining nonstop since about 9:30am. Good day for some indoor type activities, or if you like surfing in the rain, the waves were super playful size out there and you’re already gonna be wet, so might as well go jump in! Just like you’re about to do with today’s report!

Brian Scott

Mr. Chris, we have a few Chris’s here, but mi otro amigo Chris M seen here packing a pretty sick and kinda gnarly shifty and wedging left! Yeah buddy!!!

Brian Scott

A few chica’s out there too, getting some nice cover ups!

This is when that morning sunlight was about as nice as I got it, before the rain came. There’s always a clinic going on out there, rain or shine!

Brian Scott

My (who once was little buddy - now all grow’d up) Andrew “aka Nemo”, looking like he’s put in quite a bit of time at the ranch, the Kelly Slater Ranch that is, only because this wave looks eerily similar to the fresh water perfect wave, and also since he works for Firewire/Slater Design surfboards, I’m sure he’s put in more wave time there than any other regular surfers. Yeaaahhhhh Nemo!!

Brian Scott

Kevin playing in the kiddie pool today. He always loves it when it’s bigger, the better type of scenario. . .

Brian Scott

But surfing is surfing and be it, big or small, getting out there is always way more fun than sitting it out just because it’s not super big.

Brian Scott

Kinda started to get frothy and chunky with the tide draining out.

Brian Scott

But this young lady was surfing like she was in a full on heat, minus the jersey! Hows that Wooo-man Fan!

Brian Scott

Jaja - I love Nemo’s new term, I’ve never even heard it used, but when he’s texting me, he’s been calling the small but fun barreling days “fun little taquito barrels”!

Brian Scott

But then once he took his 6’ 0” (maybe bigger now?) all I know is he’s, like I said, all grow’d up, this is when he turns his taquito fun barrels into crazy Jordy Smith size man carves!

Brian Scott

Kev’s really a freak! haha and I say that with the most respect. Just look a him instead of backside grabbing rail, otherwise known as “pig dogging” he’s stalling backside with his arm behind him up almost in the roof of the lip. Kev, you’re a freak of nature!

Brian Scott

Sometimes you just gotta hit the eject button. Low tide and drained out and jumping off in about 2 feet of water.

Brian Scott

Not sure if your can see the double up this waves is forming into, and how vertical and out of the wave his board is sideways, but the turn this kid’s doing on this wave is super sick! He stuck it too btw!

Brian Scott

And then the rain came so I ran up to the safe shelter of the palapas, while this mystery barrel surfer found his own shelter.

Brian Scott

Ok mis amigos, that’s it for the Tuesday report. I wish I could have stayed out a little longer, but the strong offshore winds were actually blowing the rain sideways into the palapas and my camera bad was getting soaked, so I had to pack it up and jam, but hopefully tomorrow will be sunny and nice (crossing fingers)!! See ya mañana ~
