Nicaragua Surf Report for Thursday, November 30, 2017

Javier Baldovinos

Hey everyone, this is Baldo reporting from A-frameland, also known as Santana, even though the real name is Jiquelite. The waves were kinda small for the most part but, there was a small window of chest to head high A-frame barrels, check it out!

The planets aligned for 30-45 minutes and the ocean became this beautiful collection of postcards that would make everyone drool… the photos don’t do any justice to the real thing.

All along the beach, picture perfect empty peaks appeared… hollow strokes of greens and blues decorated with gentle brushes of offshore winds over a light blue sky.

Just a few people were surfing at this time of the morning. Sadly, they all seemed to be in the wrong place to catch the good ones.

Javier Baldovinos

El Matador couldn’t locate himself in the right spot on the big ones… he was too deep or too far on the shoulder but, he was catching a lot of the in-between-sets waves.

Javier Baldovinos

The Mermaid was out too, flying and ripping on the small ones.

Look at her here, trying to find some shade under this nice looking lip… she got a kiss on her shoulder.

Among the fortuned ones surfing today, there was a StandUp Paddleboarder. As you might think, Santana doesn’t seem too SUP friendly but he was doing his best to catch and ride some steep waves.

Javier Baldovinos

And as experienced surfer that he might be, he knew which ones were worth paddling into… at least most of the times.

Javier Baldovinos

This other guy brought his funboard… he was catching a lot of waves but he was having some difficult times with the drops, of course, this wave was not the case.

Javier Baldovinos

What comes with nice waves?... nice sprays!

Javier Baldovinos

And what’s better than a nice wave? This kid on the sand might have a good answer.

Javier Baldovinos

Apologies for my auto-focus, I was aiming for that barrel on the back.

Javier Baldovinos

Look at that shade, that would have been a great barrel is he was a little bit deeper on that one.

A few minutes later, another beautiful A-frame right at the same spot. You can see El Matador just returning from the wave from the last picture.

Javier Baldovinos

Beautiful waves usually are not that beautiful once you see them up close and about to crush you.

Javier Baldovinos

Even the pelicans wanted to be part of today’s good conditions, this one was checking out the line up before deciding where to sit.

Javier Baldovinos

The Mermaid caught so many waves today. This is one of the best peaks she got into.

Javier Baldovinos

She was getting tired so she decided it was time to find a good comfortable spot to sit down and relax. This is the real couch surfing!

Javier Baldovinos

Some of the A-frames were a real test for speed... pick a direction and hit the gas!

Javier Baldovinos

The waves will get smaller in the next few days but around Tuesday of next week it looks like it's going to be good... hopefully this good but with more size.

Javier Baldovinos

I hope you have enjoyed these waves as much as me. Big thanks to mother nature for such a beautiful day... and thanks for these 3 models to pose for the camera. Saludos!
