Popoyo Nicaragua Outer Reef Goes Off!
Been trading photos with my good friend Donald Stone lately. I knew the waves were gonna be good this morning, so I called Donald up to link up with him to shoot. His girlfriend said that he had left to Popoyo 15 minutes ago. Perfect! I left the house and was on top of the hill overlooking Popoyo in less than 10 minutes. Here's what I saw...
It was a little smaller than Popoyo but a lot less crowded. Popoyo was a little crowded and very good.
But the real unexpected treat today was the outer reef. The swell we're currently experiencing is on its third phase. The first phase was similar in size and a little more south. The period was up around 18 seconds and really lit up the area's reefs and pointbreaks, while the beachbreaks were a little stretched out and closed. The second phase was smaller, similar in direction, but a shorter period, more like a windswell. It really lit up the area's beachbreaks with super consistent, wedgy peaks. Today, the swell bumped up a bit and had that "magic angle" (loose lips sink ships, but that angle is somewhere between 180 and 230 :) ).
Manuel, his brother Cabezon, and Jimmy from Surfari Charters were all catching some sick lefts.
I saw a couple guys cross the rivermouth and approach the paddle out spot of Popoyo. They were carrying a couple sub 6 foot retro shapes. I wrote them off as just a couple of international beginner surfers. All of a sudden, they wereout the back taking off on some bombs!
The Outer Reef at Popoyo Nicaragua is normally surfed at high tide, due to a couple areas of the reef which actually suck dry at lower tides. The angle was so perfect today that these guys surfed it all the way to dead low tide.

Popoyo Nicaragua
Popoyo Nicaragua has been getting a very large swell for 4 days now. The swell has had a little too much west for some of the breaks to work at their best. The bowl at outer reef popoyo, namely, has been closed out because of the swell direction. There has been a few boogies catching some waves and wipeouts on the inside corner of Outer Reef. We took some video yesterday at Popoyo, and larger sets were easily 10-12 feet and some bigger. A bunch of travelling surfers paddled out, about 15-20. Many were simply pounded to the beach. A few guys paddled out on big boards, in the 7-0 range and picked off some bombs. The swell is decreasing today, but there will still be plenty of overhead nuggets coming in. The beachbreaks should start working again this evening or tomorrow. Another moderate swell is coming in a couple days.
No photos yet of this swell, the lighting has been gray the past few days with a lot of clouds and occasional rain showers, but check out some other photos of Popoyo Nicaragua
