Some proper size coming in as everyone who woke and made their way to the playa, found people out in the lineup getting some of THIS!

However, todays thick lipped waves were super fast and very heavy. So a lot of people were disappearing left and right.

Some of the smaller in-between sets were nice and groomed with light offshores and didn’t make you surf in survival mode.

This was actually my favorite wave/sequence from this morning, just for it’s pure perfection without a single drop of water out of place.

My lens in only capable of showing a small parameter of the entire lineup – due to it’s long length, but here’s just one section of the morning rush hour traffic fully pulled back.

I imagine, probably right about now or when that tide bottomed out it comes back up to around medium-med high I bet there’s going to be some bangers out there!
