There were fewer empty waves as the crowd was tighter today.

This fella with the orange board was the MVP of today's photo window. He was honing his flow and style in the small surf.

A few of today's surfers were undeterred from looking for tubitos. There were some to be had, but they really needed to be the larger set waves.

And finish the ride with one last sharp blast. Having a skatey board like his fish was a big advantage in the small surf.

This guy managed to time his entry well and find some shade. He didn't get the exit, but it was a good attempt.

This guy saw that the conditions were fairly tame, and took his lady out for a couple waves. I could tell she was determined to get a couple of keepers before getting out of the water. She had her game face on during her pop-ups haha.

The big claim! She was stoked haha! It's cool to see people get pumped on new milestones no matter their level. Unfortunately surfing becomes a progressively more difficult sport to get excited about. Well, at least my experience is that you narrow in on the aspects of it that you enjoy. So if it's not barreling, it's no good haha.

The mellow-ish surf continues. The crowd has been kind of thick lately too. I think the lineup will probably thin out soon if we get some real power. Might not be until the last day of the month and start of June though. We'll see just how accurate Surfline is.

Hey everyone! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. The size did come up today, but it was very inconsistent. I guess we were a victim of a single swell (not combo swell), and it was a 19 second swell interval. Still some bombs as you can see though.
