Nicaragua Surf Report for Friday, December 23, 2016

Carl NSR

Happy holidays to you all and welcome to another edition of the Nicaragua Surf Report. The swell has backed off a little but still running in the shoulder to head high range. Day three of swell with lines coming through and hardly a soul in the lineup. Sunny skies and breezy offshores all day long.

We are still basking in the afterglow of the rainy season with good sand bars and lush green countryside even though the dry season techincally started over a month ago.

Following the yellow dirt road to Nicargua's Emerald Coast. Here's hoping that rain keeps falling.

Zac Hyland the last of the Kiwi Mohawkans was the standout rider in the water this morning. Here he is stalling for the section.

Starting out steep south the direction of the swell has shifted a little more west now opening up more rights. Zac, in the spot.

Oh, and did we mention the wind is offshore. Loving that lip spray from any angle.

This mysto peak down the beach was just inconsistent enough that there are no takers.

Lots of speedy ones today. Perfect for that oddball twin fin with no rocker and crazy tail outline. In position and high-linin'......

See Dick paddle, see Dick look, see Dick go anyway.....Don't be a Dick.

The NSR surf shop is open today and tomorrow until 3pm. So come on by if you are around and need to do any last minute Christmas shopping.

The set up here in Hacienda Iguana is so dialed. We've got Pili's Kitchen serving breakfast, lunch and dinner on the beach every day so no matter when you get hungry or just need some french press coffee and to watch the surf, like Grant pictured here, Pili "hermana rustica" Dinamita has got you covered.

Every holiday season, we try to support organizations doing good in the local area. This year, we chose CREA so here is a quick word about them... Nicaragua is paradise, but it's also the second poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Education levels, especially in rural areas of the country, are alarmingly low. To put it in perspective, the average number of total years of schooling a rural Nicaraguan receives is 4.9 years. Yet despite a poorly equipped education sector, rural communities in Tola are now getting the educational support. Help us give the gift of education this holiday season and join us in supporting CREA! Link to Donate Page: http://www.creanicaragua.org/donate/
