Don’t get me wrong, there were still some gusts that could throw you off of your line.

The rights at Panga were nice and long, with plenty of wall for cutbacks.

And of course, massive sprays enhanced by the strong offshore winds.

The lefts were steeper but way shorter, and with wider sections breaking in front of you.

I guess the light winds made it the perfect conditions for beach male modeling.

Everyone was excited with today’s conditions making Panga Drops looking kind of chaotic sometimes.

To avoid the small crowd, some surfers were on the inside, catching little ones without any complications.

Those inside waves had some push and they were great for many maneuvers.

The big waves outside offer less oportunities to do more maneuver variations, but there is always a risky surfer that goes all in.

PANGA DROPS

Hey everyone! Welcome to Tuesday’s surf report from Panga Drops. The swell was notably stronger than I expected. Some early season Pacific power! Middle peak was the place to be, but it was windy.

PANGA DROPS

Hey amigos! Welcome to Monday’s surf report from French Fries. The waves were pretty much firing when I rocked up to take pictures, but just like yesterday the wind went side-shore as soon as I put the camera away. At least some surfers caught the magic window.

PANGA DROPS

Hey amigos! Welcome to March 1st’s surf report from French Fries. The waves were really fun in the late morning and early afternoon. The wind direction was perfect, but then flipped side-shore right as I went to grab my board haha.

Happy Tuesday everybody! Brian here with the surf report. Although it’s been a while since this has occurred, we had a friendly reminder of what we usually take granted in the first world problems and that is that we had no power or internet since about 1:30pm today. Some might think it’s no biggie, but..
