Hello folks, El Gran Varon Don Simon and young buck nasty Al delivering the report for today. We have waves running from chest to head high, overcast sky, and light off-shore winds. The high tide can make the waves less fun, so many surfers opted out of this session, but we have plenty of pictures to show why it might have been a good idea to paddle out this morning.

The locals, on the other hand, were having no problem finding themselves in the right spot. Getting deep!

It wasn’t only barrels out there today. This wave got jacked up a few feet by the backwash but it doesn’t seem to be phasing this backside assailant.

This is Simon from Venezuela. He has been living in cold-watered New York and we can tell that he is stoked to raw dog some waves with no rubber on. Simon has been renting boards from the NSR shop. Don’t want to deal with the hassle of shlepping your boards along on your travels?

Plenty of fun waves coming though and this surfer put himself in the right spot to snag a sweet barrel. It’s not big, but close to perfection. Nice one amigo!

There wasn’t much battling going on today, with plenty of waves to feed the hungry. Good looking wave, even if you’re taking off on the shoulder!

Happy 4th of July! The size of the surf dropped notably today. There were still good sets, but patience was key (again). Hard to believe there were no takers on this one!

What’s up folks, Eric and Lucha coming at you with the Monday surf report.  Today we headed out to the beach in the morning trying to beat the onshore winds and we did.  The wind was on when we got there but it was super light so we scored a couple of clean ones.  Check..
