Hey everyone! What a week of waves thus far! Josh back behind the lens for the next few days. Surflie continued to pull through for us. Yesterday and today were definitely two of the better days of this year. The swell held in throughout the day as can be seen here with this bomb right at the Rivermouth at sunset.

The crowd was very thin at sunset as I think most people, myself included are fairly worn out. It's been pretty heavy the past couple of days.

This young goofy-footer had this middle peak left to himself. He got a few nice visions and attempts in the last hour of light.

Schwappah! A sharp rotation that nearly caused his rail to bog. He managed to ride through this snap though.

The North peak rights weren't really that consistent this swell, as this swell had more South. There were still a few up there, like this one, if you were patient.

The South peak closer to the rivermouth is where most of the energy was unwinding. I usually despise surfing that peak, but even I have to admit it was pretty epic there the past few days as so much sand is pulled out and the bars are good.

I told you it was a solo left-hand tube fest for the youngster!

Bauti maxing out his style points and flying at a good clip on a left set wave.

I feel bad as I forgot this guy's name even though he's been here for a few months. This was probably the best wave I've seen him get since he's been here. A legit quality set wave.

He outpaced the barrel, but he still did the right thing to grab rail and give it a look. His posture looked pretty good, just hard to stall backside if you take the drop without pig-dogging.

Bauti coiled up and tucked tight on right-runner at the middle peak.

The grom flying high. I bet he had a good time this evening practically surfing by himself.

Yuji was the last surfer out this evening. He was patient at the South peak looking for big rights. He found them, but didn't quite get the exits. He weaved through this one for a while, but it ultimately outpaced him. You can see the low-light conditions definitely tested the ISO and aperture features haha.

One more bomba for Yu-chan. It's been really fun pushing myself with the younger crew here recently over the past few days.

Well amigos, it was another epic day! The surf is supposed to chill out *some*, but not be tiny for the next three days. Then Sunday we are back off to the race. Surfline's forecast is looking good. I expect this run of slightly later season swell to continue since July and August were poor form by most accounts haha. We gotta get paid what the ocean owes us, eh? Hasta manana.

Hey amigos! Welcome to Tuesday evening’s surf report from Colorados. The swell was bigger and stronger today, but it was very slow between the sets. I think the lack of a secondary swell combined with the sandbars not being in perfect shape made for long waits.

Hey everyone! Welcome to Sunday evening’s surf report from Panga Drops / French Fries. It was very clean, but smaller than yesterday which caught me off-guard. There were still some pretty waves for the handful of surfers that were out.
