Welcome to another week and surf report from your favorite surf zone in Latin America! The waves were gorgeous with those deep blue hues, thanks to those stiff offshore winds and the swell was in the super fun chest to head high range. Come on in and check it out!

Got down there super early to try and beat those winds, but as you can see they were up earlier than everyone this morning.

There were a few good sized sets that come through (as it always does here at this break) but sitting on thee inside a little more gave you the upper advantage to catching more waves.

Inside race tracks (I like to call it) or inside bowls, either way, you can see how good it can get when the tide is right with just the right amount of swell when it hits this particular area.

There are three defined peaks or areas where you can surf here. This is the more northern peak and the rights off this peak were roping in, bringing the surfers practically (so it seems) right to me!

Itā€™s long wave, if you can make it through some of the flatter (or in this time of years case) the wind doesnā€™t kick you out the back before you can make it to the inside section; which is a really fun part of the entire wave!
