Nicaragua Surf Report for Friday, April 26, 2024

Josh S

Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday’s surf report from Colorados. The waves were small this evening and the wind was side-shore, but there was still fun to be had. In our opening frame here, you can see a surfer working on his chop-hop ollies with the high-tide backwash haha.

Sarah was out on her longboard making the most of the mellow and soft wave-faces.

She even started to work on her cutbacks on the open sections she encountered out there today. Time to work on using the surfboard’s rail.

Harrison executing a quick check-turn to set up for a larger turn down the line on this left.

Throw that whitewater slush around! Bringing the board all the way back around.

John releasing all of his coiled up potential energy during this bottom turn.

Josh S

WHAM! He had to navigate some extra spray thrown up at his face just from the sheer impact of his board contacting the lip with such force. Flying blind.

Even this boogey was generating some down the line drive despite the soft conditions this evening.

Josh S

Although today was the smallest day of the past 10 days or so, there were still a few head high sets every now and again.

John projecting up, up, and away!

Josh S

He showed mercy and tagged this lip in a more gentle manner. Sometimes its good to work on graceful surfing.

Josh S

Travis was the lightweight of the evening session. His lighter frame and nimbleness enabled him to get vertical even on softer sections of the waves.

Josh S

He even jammed his fins into the lip on the crunchy shore-break end-section.

John lining up another big slap.

Way to get vertical Johnny. It ain’t easy to find these sections when it’s soft and burgery at dead high-tide.

Josh S

One last rivermouth right bender from the lone Boogey out there. I respect the drop-knee method. Displays greater mastery and control over his equipment than merely remaining prone.

Josh S

Ok amigos, the small run of swell persisted today. We should see a little bump in the size tomorrow, but overall still fairly tame waves. If you’re a beginner or intermediate tomorrow could be one of the last days to target before a bit more juice returns to the swell.
