Nicaragua Surf Report for Sunday, August 06, 2017

Brian Scott

Howdy! Welcome to the Sunday and last day of the weekend surf report. For some this is the start of a new week and others who live in places like Nica, there is no time, so its just another day in paradise.

Brian Scott

The waves were super small, mixed up with some mid day onshore winds and not a whole lot of people out surfing. So it was pretty tranquillo out there.

Brian Scott

Luke didn’t mind at all. In fact he was having a blast out there catching all the little windy peaks to himself.

Brian Scott

Josh is another person you can aways count on seeing, rain or shine, small or big, onshore or offshore. Practice make prefect right?

Brian Scott

Barry says… heck ya! But I’m gonna go swim in the pool for now. I’m waiting for that really big swell coming in the end of next week!

Brian Scott

Speaking about practice makes perfect. Here’s a good example. Not sure how many of you made a lay day Sunday and watched the US Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach today, but I’m so stoked for my friend Kanoa for taking first place and winning the whole thing!! Way to go.. I’ve watched you surf that pier since you were a little grom in every condition and now look what you got as a reward. Congrats buddy!!

Brian Scott

These waves today actually look A LOT like California waves. The only thing you wouldn’t know through this image is the tropical difference in weather. The water was about 83°F with a humidity of 96%.

Brian Scott

Which actually allows you to move a little more freely here than most months out of the year in California without all that rubber.

Brian Scott

Wind slop never looked more inviting.

The locals watch the action straight out and the US Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach from their iPhones; the best of both worlds. What a great time we live in, right?

Brian Scott

I do have to comment and say that for how little the amount of people who were out surfing this afternoon, there was some shredding going down.

Brian Scott

Despite the conditions too!

Brian Scott

Maybe with all the contest stuff buzzing in the air, it made everyone want to push their surfing a little more today.

Brian Scott

Whatever the case, well done amigos!

Brian Scott

I mean if you rolled up to this, would you be stoked, over it, go try and find another place that might look better, or just call it a day and go watch some the biggest live broadcast surfing contest of the year?

Brian Scott

Well you know this dudes answer!

Brian Scott

His too!

Brian Scott

Josh caught so many waves today … I know, I was his whiteness. But looks like he was maybe going to try and do a double header. Surf then go watch some more surf, but not before eating an entire pizza to refuel from todays marathon surf sesh!

Brian Scott

I couldn’t believe it when I saw a few people running down to surf. It amazes me how quickly we can forgot how deep the surf stoke can be. I met Evan’s (pictured) friend Kandace on the beach earlier who explained that they had just got here and will be here for about 8 days. This was their 4th surf session today. WOW - can you say SUPER STOKED!!!

Brian Scott

There were a couple of guys from the “Pico Tribe” out there ripping!! I can’t say I actually meet them (YET) but I did see their stickers on they’re boards. So I assume they’re from the “Pico Tribe”, welcome down amigos! Look forward to seeing you out surfing all this week! Hopefully you’ll be around for that big swell next weekend.

Brian Scott

The other amigo from the Pico Tribe. I’m really looking forward to seeing these guys surfing in real Nica power waves.

Brian Scott

They look big and surf kinda gnarly! Could be fun to photograph!

Brian Scott

Well, it’s another weekend in the books and especially for my friend Konoa, today I can imagine he’s smiling from ear to ear being $100,000 richer and taking the prized title of the US Open right in his own backyard. Just remember though, Its not about money, it’s not fame and it’s not always glory; it’s all about being able to dance like you’re dancing like no-ones watching on a beach in Nicaragua! Stay happy my friends..! Hope you all have a great week ahead!! Cheers ~
