Nicaragua Surf Report for Monday, October 16, 2017

Brian Scott

Hola and Happy Monday everybody! Boy, do we have a treat to start off your work week for you. Today was incredible!! PUSH on that “Read More” button to see what I’m talking about.

Brian Scott

Todays waves were firing. At least while I was down there shooting.

Brian Scott

 Hardly anyone out too!

Brian Scott

Which is exactly why Hilario was smiling… OK, he’a always smiling, but him and I both couldn’t believe our eyes!!

Brian Scott

If the northern part of the beach looked that good, I was frothing to see how the southern end looked. John Springfield here, looks like he was absolutely enjoying the wide open playing field down there.

Brian Scott

Sure enough I got down there to see 8-10 wave sets unfolding.

Brian Scott

The interval must be pretty short (since the waves were rolling in non-stop, back to back), but there was definitely plenty of swell to make it ridiculously fun!

Brian Scott

Not quite low tide drained out, yet.

Brian Scott

There were barrels all over the place.

Brian Scott

Koji, setting up for a little tube time.

Brian Scott

Nice one little buddy!

Brian Scott

Like I said, barrels.

Brian Scott

More barrels. Manny was out there killing it. Pretty much putting on a little clinic for a party of 6.

Brian Scott

This is what you always WANT to see when you’re paddling out.

Brian Scott

Conditions were super clean.

Brian Scott

Light offshore, and really really warm today.

Brian Scott

Mike Doan had to say adios to his son Gavin today. I sure hope Gavin got to taste a little bit of this before he had to fly out.

Brian Scott

We had ohhhh, about dos Chicas out there today.

Brian Scott

So I’d say we had a good 1/3 of the lineup of representation by the dama persuasion.

Brian Scott

Just another fine day here in Southern Nicaragua.

Brian Scott

The back and forth of the barrel-fest seriously had me feeling..

Brian Scott

…. like I was watching a ping pong match!

Brian Scott

I have to say, the score was always even. Izquierdas y derechos!

Brian Scott

This next sequence, Manny will show you how to surf this wave to perfection, from take-off, driving through a throaty barrel, all the way through his perfectly impeccable roadhouse cutback. (keep in mind this is actually more like a 50 image sequence, so I had to narrow it down to a few shots!)

Que Nota ~ Numero Uno.

Brian Scott

Que Nota ~ Numero dos.

Brian Scott

Que Nota ~ Numero tres.

Brian Scott

Y Que Nota ~ Numero quatro, and that’s how it’s done my friends!

Brian Scott

If you're from the west coast of North America, particularly southern CA, you could agree that this eerily looks like a nice summer day on a juicy south swell in Oxnard, Ventura area. But it’s not and those aren't a couple of offshore islands in the background either. This is Nicaragua and that’s Costa Rica in the far distance.

Brian Scott

People were definitely surfing like they were from Ventura though!

Brian Scott

My man Koji, with the “Uncle Josh” full committed, backside pig-dog takeoff. Yeah little charger!

Brian Scott

I think as the tide was dropping there were a little less barrels…

Brian Scott

…and a little more room for some hot-dogging.

Brian Scott

Umm, ok I take that back. Must have been a little lul in-between sets.

Brian Scott

First we had torrential flash flooding. Now it looks like now it’s snowing in Nica.  “Oh, the humanity!”

Brian Scott

Who’s ready for them stern dry season offshore’s?? Just put your head down, paddle your a$$ off and make the drop, right?

Brian Scott

oh ya, and pull in for the tube of your life, possibly.

Brian Scott

Hey there, I wanted to throw a quick shout-out for a really cool cause and also something that’s really beneficial for probably anyone who was out surfing the last few days (think noodle arms) and possible next few who might really appreciate this feel good cause! Here’s a message about massage from my amiga chica Terra!

“Hey guys and gals, this week , I will be setting up 3-5pm under the coconut tree beside Pili's Kitchen providing mini massage sessions by donation to raise money for the Tropical Storm Nate Relief Fund. Come by! Warm hugs , 

Terra

Brian Scott

Well folks, it was a very good day of surfing. I hope you all enjoyed seeing this from afar and appreciated the little lift of surf imagery to keep the work week stoked! Stay tuned to see what else might be in store the rest of the week… so check back mañana! Adios por ahora mis amigos!! ~
