Somewhere in Nicaragua
Overcast sunset Saturday Surf Report coming your way from Panga Drops! I ended up getting stormed out off the beach during the photo session, but I managed to capture the general conditions and vibe today. It was a bit bigger today than yesterday, but overall pretty similar conditions.
Big board big reward! I enjoy surfing Pangas on longer gear as you can high-line cruise on the walled up sections, then stomp on your back foot when necessary for your cutbacks.
These are the fun sections at Pangas! The waves that wall up and throw you racey sections. Not as exciting as good Colorados, but you gotta make do with what nature gives you!
Here’s turn #2, another blast which scores well for Pangas which is a soft wave where critical maneuvers indicate skill. A bit of counter-rotation going on here with the arms though.
Although the surf action wasn’t bad today, I think Ruby’s horseback riding skills take the cake. It takes quite a bit of confidence to send your horse at full speed ahead and casually chuck your arms to the sky to claim the ride!
Panga’s show-casing it’s cruisey nature on this head high left roller.
The last of the wave I got before I had to take shelter from the rain and lightning. The rainy season might be starting to rear its head?
Before the rain squall showed up quite a few non-surfers had worked their way down to Pangas for sunset which I found interesting as people typically congregate at Pili’s for sunset. About half the folks were swimming and half spectating the surfers on the beach, but everyone looked like they were having a great time! That’s all I’ve got from this evening’s surf report. Tomorrow Mr. Tony Zeta returns to the report with a similar size projected for tomorrow.
RECENT REPORTS
Hey amigos! Welcome to Saturday evening’s surf report from Colorados. The size of the waves dropped even more today, but it still had its moments.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. The size of the surf dropped notably today. There were still head-high waves on the sets, but it was a wait between the stronger sets. Keith setting up for a left set-wave here.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Colorados. The wind was onshore again today, but it was actually cleaner than most of the day yesterday. At least it was more manageable.

Hey there everybody hope you’re having a great day and a solid week so far. The swell has been inching up over the last few days and is now super fun and providing lots of awesome waves. The lineup was pretty empty today considering the quality of the waves. Let’s take a look at some..
Hey surfers and surf fans from around the world, our friend and fellow surf reporter Baldo is sitting on the sidelines today as he suffered a mild knee injury in the surf the other day. I’m filling in for him today with a Land and Water surf report. Enjoy.
