Welcome to the Friday surf report and the forefront of what could be a pretty crazy weather weekend for us down here as Hurricane Julia is spinning her way across the Atlantic side making it’s way to and predicted to hit landfall (hitting the east coast of Nicaragua possibly by late Saturday and crossing over the country, with us in the lower part of her path) So Keep your fingers crossed that the damage will be minimal and hopefully by hitting land, it will reduce the hurricanes winds and torrential rains down a bit, maybe lowering it to a possible tropical storm, but pray for the poor people getting the brunt of her force hitting up in the Northern region of Nica.

That being said, I couldn’t make it down for the dawn patrol session, but I went down a bit later to find only a few people out with more people starting to show up, but it was looking pretty grey and really high probability of some rain heading from the east. However, the waves were still pretty fun/good looking. This hombre looking for that infamous tubo, although the swell has dipped quite a bit.

But for those who made it down for the arvo sesh, found some really fun corners.

And sure enough, this rain squall moved in and I mean FAST. Usually you’ll get the minimal (heads up) pre-sprinkles, letting you know it’’s time to either find shelter, or this case today it just started dumping buckets and I was quite aways away from my moto and my camera bag. So I had to boogy out of there, unfortunately, and what made it worse was as I was running down the beach trying not to kill my camera gear, I was watching as the waves got that beautiful velvety texture and it actually started to turn on, with perfect peeling A-Frames all up and down the beach, tapering so perfectly. But I had not other option than to head out and get home ASAP!
