Nicaragua Surf Report for Friday, September 26, 2008

Hi everybody, this is Come Pan Panic bringing you the Friday surf report.  Today we are excited because it is supposed to be the last day of onshore winds.  So we went to the bay and took this photo hoping it’ll be the last one for a long time.  We can not even say that there were some waves out there to be had because it was flat.  Here we have a shot of the bay just to keep you guys updated.

After we went to the bay and saw the really bad conditions, we decided to drive around town and try to shoot some other stuff to show you.  The gas is getting really expensive down here, so many people are trying to collect some wood to boil their beans and cook some rice for dinner.  That’s sound great, I am already getting hungry!!!

This time of the year when the winds are onshore it is really interesting for us because we sometimes forget that we have a beautiful country to explore.  Today we went to the Nicaraguan Lake to see what happens to it when the wind is onshore.  It is amazing how this works because the lake is flat now with onshore wind and when we get off shore wind the lake gets rough with one to two foot waves.  Here is the postcard shot of the day.


We also discovered on our way back to town a project for alternative electricity that a foreign country is building to help the Nicaraguan people.  These wind mills are 100 meters tall and the blades are 80meters across.  They have 3 completed and plan on building 12 more.  This should help us with our power problems in the future.


The town is getting prepared for a big fiesta tomorrow night.  Three different discos are setting up stages on the beach to hold all of the people that are going to come.  Check back tomorrow for the pictures of the party.
