There were some sick rights this afternoon. It was slow, so it was hard to be in the right spot though.

I was impressed that Ryan found this big, ripped up right. It hit the bar just right so that it barreled even though the rip was on the face of the wave.

But dropped a touch low toward the end of the tube. It was still a very good attempt. This was one of the better tube attempts I saw all day. The rip-current adds an extra element of power to the wave.

I came back in the evening to see what was happening, but it was fairly inconsistent. The sets were good for turns though.

Wednesday and Thursday ended up being the last of the real push and power from the surf. Thursday was mellower. The onshore flow and rain showers have started. See you on Friday's report.

Hey amigos! Welcome to Friday’s surf report from Colorados. The wind came light onshore in the late morning, but it was still shreddy. Little walls and some coping from the wind to work with.

Happy Tuesday, We’re happy to see the first signs of the new swell. It takes a while for the sets to come and it does have some wobble with the higher tide. But people are out taking advantage of surf. @tonyzphotos reporting.
