Surfline did call for a little bump in the swell today, and it showed up in the early afternoon as the tide started to fill in.

Rights and lefts were on the table for those quick enough to dart out there. It literally went from waist-high to head-high in about 10 minutes.

Once Finley gets started catching waves, he usually doesn't slow down. He stays active out there.

Rowan looking like a mini-version of one of the CT surfers. I'm impressed that his rail to rail surfing and turns continue to get even more precise.

Finley makes airs look easy on the lefts here. They are tricky for us goofy-footers because the wind is blowing behind us.

He's out! Nice make and find Aiden. Good to get a quality wave on the smaller days like today. It's special to catch one of a handful of the "good ones".

The local mascot made an appearance! I guess the lunch buffet was plentiful for the Iguanas today. I saw about five different little guys munching away. We really do live in a special place. Tomorrow should be pretty small, but we'll see if we get another magic window.

Hello Monday, The new swell is filling in. The 17 second perios is making the beach breaks pretty walled and stretched out. But there is the odd hero wave coming through. @tonyzphotos on the trigger today.

Saturday Surf Report coming in hot! Guys… Surfline was finally right… and it was pumping this morning! Unfortunately Vinny lost a board to today’s carnage. The photos speak for themselves today, so I’ll try not to clog your device’s screen with my commentary haha.
