Nicaragua Surf Report for Wednesday, August 10, 2022

Brian Scott

Happy Hump day friends! Well, we’ve been enjoying all this nice (even though it’s our winter down here) summer time like weather, I think it’s about to go back to some rainy days here, so soak it up now before that little tropical storm off the coast arrives and brings us more rain and cloudy skies. But fr now, let’s enjoy todays nice day and “espere” (wait) for now and see how things pan out in the next couple of days.

Ended up swinging by Playa Colorados first thing in the morning, but the tide was about dead low (just coming back up) and only a handful of surfers out. Nemo getting one last li bash in before he has to head off to Managua to head back home.

Since I shot up at the reef yesterday, I couldn’t help but look up that way and from where I was standing, it looked like there was a pretty decent crowd up that way; and the waves looked to be much better.

Otherwise, I could have just stayed here and shot some micro barrels.

Brian Scott

Buuuuut, as you all know me. . . I love to try and find the best that I can when shooting a report, so I ended up biting and made the quick little zip on the moto up to PD’s!

Brian Scott

And it wasn’t just me. However, I have a pretty good feeling, well being that the NSR report get’s a good amount of traffic, it’s not uncommon that when I find the goods, always the next day, the people follow me like good little sheep. Haha ya, that’s it, I’m a sheep herder! Lol jajaja

Brian Scott

No, but for reals though, the waves AND crowd definitely migrated from the beach break and just like that, our August surfing day turned into what would be like any normal day at the Drops, anytime between Jan - March here.

Brian Scott

Haaaaa hmmmm, but I did point my lens back down at PC and it looks like half of the other crowd stayed true to the more hollower but much smaller surf at the beachie. Dang that’s like quadruple or actually even more than when I was down there.

Waves were super fun looking today and peaky!

If you’re going vertical at the place, it only means either you’re a pretty rad surfer, OR the waves were offering up some pretty sick top to bottom bowls and sections. I think this kid scored both at the same time!

Brian Scott

Normally this place will leave you running way out past the crumbling white water section and a lot of people lose all their momentum and are lucky if they can keep moving forward until that slow white water can catch up to you. This dude was pocket surfing this place like he was a billiards PRO!

Brian Scott

Not sure if anyone saw the Malibu thing ironically about “crowd control” that went viral yesterday on IG, but here ya go Malibu, you’re not alone!!! LOL

Brian Scott

Actually I’m friends with a lot of people back from when I lived and worked in LA for around a decade. Don’t miss it one bit! My friends, yes, but the lackluster waves, crowds, heck even wearing a wetsuit, wouldn’t go back even if you paid me. Oh wait, I actually have been asked many a time to go back (I had a pretty rad gig as an editor there for years) but aaaah NOPE, Nada. . . NO WAY JOSE!!!!! I love this! What you’re seeing in this photo. . . this is what brought me here, many many moons ago!

And what’s so great about being down here is although we don’t have ringside here, I do miss going to the occasional hockey game, but we have front row seats, “Beachside” and that is a VERY VERY beautiful thing!!! Soooo on that note, SBS (aka “El Ancla”) is signing off since you all know it’s my Friday! Yewwwww ~
