I hope all the surfers enjoyed their tunnel vision today. Today might've been the last day with some size for a week or so.

The "flag peak" was working well today. It was a popular peak amongst today's surfers.

Oh no! This guy should've pig-dogged the drop. Safe the drop down to the flats for the waves that aren't hollow haha.

This guy did a good job stalling on this left. He put himself in the spot.

Riley O'Rorke with a very stylish backside stall. I like his open sternum and vertical posture with his back. Reminds me of Chris Ward at Desert Point.

It was a good window of waves. Maybe we'll luck out with one last day of tubitos tomorrow. Let's see what Tony Z captures.

Hey everyone! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. We received some rain and onshore wind overnight, but the waves were surprisingly playful during the late morning window.

Welcome back for the Tuesday surf report. A lot of new energy and swell came in today, but the conditions were really messy and pretty NUTS out there. That and the sun didn’t come out pretty much all day, it was gloomy and really dismal, but the swell/waves had some serious loads of power in..
