PLAYA SANTANA
Hello everyone, this is Baldo with today’s report. As always, I try to mix it up a bit every Wednesday and show you some of the other breaks in the area, we don’t want to bore you with all those Colorado barrels!
First I checked Santana beach… there was nobody around, only a big log floating right in front of first peak.
With the last few days of big tides and big waves, the rivermouth has been flowing nonstop, the waves even get across the sandbar.
With no one around at Santana I went to another spot, and on the way there I spotted this beautiful bird of prey resting on a tree… does anyone know what kind of bird is? If you know, please send me an email to[email protected], I’m always curious about the flora and fauna around us!
I went to the next surf break over to the north, the great Popoyo!
The waves were kind of messy, with a lot of current that affected the shape of the waves.
There were only a handful of surfers in the water fighting the current to be in the right spot to catch the waves.
Some of them were having a very difficult time to find the right spot for the take off.
But once you got in the right spot, it was as fun as always!
Check it this late drop directly into the barrel! He managed to hold the line and survive both the drop and the barrel.
… and finished the wave on the fat, mushy section with a small turn.
Of course, everyone was aiming for the long lefts, focusing on the rail work and big, round turns.
After a few snaps on the lip then come a few cutbacks.
With the tide getting low fast, the reef started to show all its sharp edges and ridges… and a few extra peaks that we don’t reccommend to try, unless your ready to shed some skin.The waves should be better tomorrow, I hope July it’s better for everyone! Cheers!
RECENT REPORTS
Hey amigos! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Colorados. I saw the waves turn on and off about 7 separate times today. The conditions were in constant flux. It just so happened to be that the best window of the day was when I took pictures around 1:00pm.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Wednesday’s surf report from Colorados. The waves were better by all measurable metrics today. It was still walled up and slow, but there were definitely some 10 pointers to be had.
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.
