Playa Colorado: Shoulder High, CleanWind all over the place today, but mostly from the east. Making it side/ side-onshore. Had its moments, but generally mediocre. Best early today. Sunday looking weak with less swell and more of an onshore component to the wind. Next week not looking too great, but the weather should at least hold up.

Playa Colorado: Shoulder High, CleanAlmost got decent as the tide pushed today, Wednesday. There's a little bump on the forecast Sunday/ Monday. After that back to being tiny for the rest of the month. Its being a weird one 2013. Started off so promising, then shut down August.

Playa Colorado: Shoulder High, Clean3-4ft, clean. Swell expected to increase tomorrow and Sunday. Looking small next week.

Playa Colorado: Head High, CleanGenerally 2-3ft, 4-5ft on the sets. Perfect weather, winds light from the north east. In the second half of November we usually get a few days of moderate to strong offshores which bring the water temperature down sharply. Looking like this will happen Wednesday through Sunday next week.
Playa Colorado: Shoulder High, Clean2-3ft, clean
Playa Colorado: Shoulder High, CleanSmall in the 2-3ft range. Occasional shoulder high set coming through.

Panga Drops: Waist High, CleanSunshine, 15-20mph offshore wind. Not enough swell for Colorados to give a rideable wave but occasional shoulder high sets coming in at Panga Drops.
Panga Drops: Shoulder High, CleanSame again - breezy, small waves and sunshine. Some fun to be had in close at Panga Drops.
Playa Colorado: Shoulder High, CleanBreezy and small waves. Again.
Playa Colorado: Head High, CleanFresh swell started showing up early morning. Shoulder to head high through the morning became overhead into the afternoon. Should be bigger tomorrow, Thursday, as the swell fills in and Friday looking OK too. Some swell should linger through the weekend. Not much on the radar for next week, Mon though Fri.
Playa Colorado: Double Overhead, Clean3ft 17 second swell coming in at 214 degrees had both the left and the right firing, with the left up the east end out from the river mouth dominating. Strong winds threatened early, but reduced through the day calming completely in the afternoon.
Playa Colorado: Overhead, CleanStrong swell continues to deliver solid, overhead surf. There was a decent two hour window in the morning on the rising tide before it got blown out 10am onwards.

Playa Colorado: Waist High, CleanSmall waves, light offshore wind and sunshine today, Thursday. Should be a some waves for the weekend with a 3ft 14 second swell due in Saturday afternoon. Light winds forecast through the weekend and early part of next week. Could get windy again midweek on.
Playa Colorado: Shoulder High, CleanMore swell coming in today, Friday, and lights winds. Looking good for the weekend. There's some juice showing on the radar midweek next, but strong offshore winds threatening to arrive along with that swell.
Playa Colorado: Head High, CleanSpring tides at the moment mean there's a lot of movement between high and low - too full on the high, too empty on the low. But there was OK swell coming in today and the mid-tides were working great. Plus, the weather was perfect with sunshine and light offshores throughout the day. The strong winds on the forecast midweek have been downgraded, meaning the swell expected Weds, Thurs could work out pretty good.
Playa Colorado: Head High, MessyThere's decent swell coming in, but the wind swung round more to the east and water movement caused by the spring tides stirred up the rips. Some OK waves appearing, but not as good as we hoped.
Playa Colorado: Shoulder High, CleanLess swell and more wind. Generally 2-3ft with some overhead sets still appearing. Got good for a half hour as the tide dropped mid morning, then walled and windy though the low midday and early afternoon.

Playa Colorado: Waist High, CleanCloudy, light offshore, tiny. Nothing on the forecast for the weekend. Maybe something midweek next...
Playa Maderas: Head High, CleanConsistent shoulder to head high surf conditions down at Playa Maderas in San Juan del Sur today on the tail end of what has been a decent swell. Strong winds continue and looking at the forecast won't be letting up any time soon.
Playa Maderas: Head High, CleanOccasional head high sets coming in against the strong North Easterlies. Congratulations to Tola boys Jackson, Oscar, Lester, Carlos, Kevin and Ramon competing and bringing home 1st, 2nd & 3rd place at the Maderas stage of the Nicaraguan Nationals. A big shout to Miguelito who was behind the camera.
Aposentillo: Overhead, GlassySteady 5-6ft surf and zero wind were just what the Dr. ordered after 8 hours cramped in a minibus. Bienvenidos a Aposentillo, Chinandega!!
Aposentillo: Overhead, GlassyFun day two up in Chanandega. Strong winds are messing up the surf down in Rivas at the moment, but there wasn't any wind at all up at Aposentillo.
