Nicaragua Surf Report for Tuesday, October 04, 2022

Brian Scott

What would you say if you looked at today’s surf report and I told you it was October 4th? Would you believe me, or would you think I just thew up a photo from back in June to get you all excited, but today we went back to our “like clock work typical” rainy month weather?!?!?! Well, there’s only one way to find out…. click on that ol’ “Read More” button!

HAAAAAA - surprise people! Remember I told you that we were expecting some juicy new swell this week, it just happened to come in a little early, or the forecast models were off on the longer range prediction.

Brian Scott

See… this is Mr. Chris and if you’ve been wondering where the heck he’s been the last week + or so, well, he’s been surfing his brains out, playing volleyball, pretty much doing anything and everything you would do around here, besides work, because he’s been on vacation! And more so, what in the heck do you think he’s doing here in this photo?????

Brian Scott

Well, he’s looking and pointing at this! No guerra or explosiones in this what is now a peaceful and tourist friendly country…… except for these bombs that go off when those southern hemi purple blobs detonate on our rocks, reefs and beaches along the entire coast!

Brian Scott

Juicy waves makes for happy surfers!!!! Every time!

Brian Scott

Just ask Josh……

Brian Scott

This thing was SOOO big and square, he had to look back inside to see how far back from the depths of Nicaragua he traveled from. Jaja

Brian Scott

It was not so much a mystery, but more of how crazy this swell came in over night; but thankfully it did, so we could have all the mystery barrel surfers that we did have out there today.

If you dine out, you know it’s commonplace to call out the number of the party that’s going to be sitting or dining in for the place, like for example a 4 top for 4 people dining. Todays all you can eat buffet was actually pretty small and limited (at least while I was down there shooting) and the hungry little crowd we had out there was maybe an 8 top. Two of them being some really HARD charging ladies. Here’s one of them, Rutci!

Brian Scott

Here’s the other gal. You don’t normally see too many chicas out there charging it with the big boys like this everyday. Heavy hermana. . . HEAVY!!!

Brian Scott

Ryley Haskel, getting…… well….. ALL RILED UP!

Brian Scott

And not just once or twice, when he ran past me all super psyching on the swell and how uncrowded and perfect it was looking, I shouted “YEAH BUDDY…. Get out there and get me some content”!!

Brian Scott

Ryley not only delivered, but he got so shacked today to probably last him throughout the rest of 2022!

Brian Scott

Break on through to the other side. Yeah!!!

Brian Scott

Can you please say after me….. “Pinch me, this is October!”

Brian Scott

And of course with all juicy swells, comes the tax man, the carnage and the overall super classic PC beat downs.

Brian Scott

Some people are certainly pampering and caring after their bruises and I imagine pretty sore bodies and limbs after watching some of the best efforts go south today…. but the egos will all be just fine after a few Toña’s! LOL

Brian Scott

Carlitos, da man, Carlos de Colorados the myth, but ownership by years of experience, the legend. Señor Perez owing this one wave alone (amongst all the rest he took today) this one was by far the most epic, and so well surfed, I bet if Gerry Lopez were here, it’d have got his attention and quite possibly a standing ovation! “The Drop in” - classic Carlos style of course.

Brian Scott

“The setup”

Brian Scott

“The preparation for penetration”

Brian Scott

“The tickle the kitty cat - aka petting the roof” you don’t or cannot do this move unless you’re so well versed with the wave you surf with this much raw power and not even feel an inkling of intimidation. Something Carlos I don’t even think he knows exists.

Brian Scott

All the hard work has been laid down and committed to….. now it’s all about enjoy the view (for him) and enjoy the show (for us)!

Brian Scott

The next step (which we can’t see since it’s out of frame here, but) depending on the throwing wall ahead of him, there’s only two options. 1. Hand drag and stall, OR 2. Put the peddle to the metal!

Brian Scott

Only Carlos knows the secret to this one…. and I bet you if you buy him a cold one at happy hour, he just might share it with you. ;)

Brian Scott

A lot of people kick out, punch through, straighten out. I guess it all depends on the end section of a magnificently surfed wave, just like the one I just showed you. Carlos however ALWAYS throws down a big fat rail carve, or boost a huge lien air, or if its closing out hard, he’ll always show down a 100% smackdown on that impeding section. That’s why they call him the Boss out there!

Brian Scott

Locals + October rare and super square barrels always = Walking away with a grin from ear to ear kind of day!!!! Hope you enjoyed todays new swell. Let’s hope there’s some more left for mañana ~
