PLAYA COLORADO
Happy Wednesday everyone! This is Baldo with today’s surf report from Colorado, check it out!
I noticed in the last few days that the winds died down a little bit in the afternoon, which right now it’s perfect because it goes well with the tide to surf Colorado.
The only issue is that they are big tides right now, high high tides, and low low tides (is it just me or that doesn’t sound right?, right?).
Between the wind and the big tides, there’s just a small window to catch good waves.
But when you catch a good one, I bet you feel like you’re walking on water, just glading, without the need of a surfboard.
During that small window of not so windy, there is always a chance of getting blasted by a gust of wind during a ride.
It feels great when, in between gusts of wind, when everything is calm, you are the one creating a nice chaos.
Every January feels like every January is the windiest of all Januarys, World Record of Windiness, the worst January ever… but for sure it’s always the same, windy as hell, dusty, tree branches falling, tree trunks breaking, and the worst… hard to surf!
I said hard to surf, but not impossible! You can ask John, he’s always out there no matter the conditions.
Let’s see what tomorrow bring us, it might be less windy but we’ll see. Hasta mañana!
RECENT REPORTS
Hey everyone! Welcome to Tuesday’s surf report from Panga Drops. The swell was notably stronger than I expected. Some early season Pacific power! Middle peak was the place to be, but it was windy.
Hey amigos! Welcome to Monday’s surf report from French Fries. The waves were pretty much firing when I rocked up to take pictures, but just like yesterday the wind went side-shore as soon as I put the camera away. At least some surfers caught the magic window.
Hey amigos! Welcome to March 1st’s surf report from French Fries. The waves were really fun in the late morning and early afternoon. The wind direction was perfect, but then flipped side-shore right as I went to grab my board haha.
