Chris Conner - creative destruction at the beachbreak this morning

Hey folks, we’re still up north having a look around today. We caught a fun beachbreak in the morning and then hit up the point in the afternoon.

Hey folks, Mike here with your Monday afternoon surf report. We took a gamble and headed up north to a classic Nicaraguan point and found some grinding barrels.

Nicaragua “Secret” Spot Surf Report, August 26

playa rosada nicaragua

The surf in southwest Nicaragua came down a bit today. The pointbreak was still dishing up some fun waves. Our guest Ryan from San Francisco, CA was enjoying his last day surfing in Nicaragua to the fullest, catching a lot of good ones way up the point. For the last half hour of his session, he got the break all to himself with a couple of the earlier takers breaking their boards or taking nasty wipeouts. We’ll give it 4 stars today.

playa-santana-nicaragua-073

The surf in the Rivas province of Nicaragua was epic for several hours this morning/mid-day. We had very clean conditions and a nice, peaky swell wedging into some thickees. Only shot photos for 15 minutes; the waves were looking too good!

Nicaragua “Secret” Spot Surf Report, July 1st

rancho santana

Popoyo Nicaragua surf report. We stumbled upon a rare sandbar that is usually unsurfed on the way to another spot. The sand has shifted a lot lately and this peak was providing uncrowded throbbing tubes all morning. The few who found it were stoked. The best waves and biggest tubes were going unridden, but everyone was making plenty of tubes.  This was one of the top days I’ve seen at this rare peak…

Nicaragua Secret Pointbreak Surf Report, April 12

nicaragua pointbreak

Secret Nicaragua pointbreak was doing it’s thing today as the swell dropped a bit. We’ll give it 4 out of 5 chile peppers. Very clean, beautiful conditions and plenty of makeable tubes. We’ve got a solid crew staying with us right now, and it looks like the waves are going to bump up again tonight or tomorrow morning. We’ll be headed out on the boat in the morning to search for waves…
