Hey amigos! Welcome to Saturday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. The tide was high when I shot pictures this morning, but the wind was offshore at this time.

Tristan is one of the guys staying Casa Pasatiempo. Because they are staying beach front and can get a good POV of all of Colorados' peaks, they haven't missed any good windows.

His white and light Rusty appears to be working well for him out there.

A lot of the rights were stretched out and walled. Not totally closeouts, but they frequently required a good couple of drives down the line.

Excellent technique on display from Tristan. Coiled up, compressed, and pivoting off of his trailing hand which is scratching the surface of the water.

Tristan probably had the highest wave count of the morning.

The crowd was very light, so there were more than a few empty rights sliding through the lineup.

Some of Tristan's friends picked off some clean set waves. Staying beach front is such an advantage here because he waste no time in transit between the beach and constantly have eyes on the conditions.

When Colorados is firing on all eight cylinders and the wind is stable, then you can plan your sessions. But this year has been far from stable conditions wise haha.

The crew was styling out there. Cruising and slicing the high-tide faces on their mid-lengths.

We've been lucky to get such consistent surf and very light crowds during our rainiest time of the year. Surf season was smaller and way busier in the lineup.

Lesther paddled out for a few quick waves. When the wind is clean and there's basically nobody out, then why not go for a few waves?

Lesther took his time out on the open face.

The wind came up kind of early again today. Tomorrow will probably be very similar to today. Let's see what Tony Z captures for stretch of waves.
