Nicaragua Pounded by an XL South Swell

It’s not very often we get to see Nicaragua this massive.

We’ve seen a lot from Puerto Escondido and even more from the Wedge. We’ve seen a few other spots in between, but not nearly enough from Central America. The recent south swell that tore through the entire Pacific was a gift sent from the heavens above, and it pretty much provided the entire west coast of the Americas with pumping surf for several days straight. The great thing is that it’s still kind of pumping. Here’s a different perspective from Nicaragua. One that we don’t get to see too often: Nicaragua looking is bit like Pipeline.
