It’s our dry offseason and the winds came back strong for the swell. Heavy offshores didn’t stop Gavin from locking into a frontside beauty.

We are still receiving the south west ground swell so there was an abundance of waves today. Lefts and rights were both working well.

Swell or no swell, you know where to look for Lesther Espinoza. He is the guru of navigating the long interval waves on our beach break.

Our principal beachie was firing; however, you could walk 250 yards north to find less critical conditions. Come rent a funboard and try it for yourself!

If you haven’t already, meet John Martin. He has life’s important things figured out: an oceanfront casita, a wonderful lady, and his barrel stance.

Todd may not live oceanfront but he has his technique wired too. Even John Heismen would give him a complementary trophy for his stance.

I took photos around lunch time so all of us were fleeing the sun’s rays. My shaddy palapa and hammock were comfortable but not as exhilerating as Todd’s right.

Meet Gerry from Toronto. All the locals wore wetsuit tops to keep the wind off their backs and give an extra layer from the chilly water. On the other hand, Gerry was stoked to surf what he calls warm water!

With all the swell, the inside is frothy, messy, and full of rip currents. No problem for Gerry, especially after that wave!

It’s safe to say they made the correct decision. Snowbirds- we have availability if you want to flee your next storm and time our next swell.

Walk a mile in Dan’s shoes (or sit for an hour in his chairs). You might enjoy it.

We have an airport close by, there are bus stations in Rivas, and there are freight trains in our own backyard. Check out the spot half a mile north if you want a long powerful right. Hold on tight and don’t get stuck inside!

This paddle boarder saw our surf report from yesterday. As a result, he waited for an outside right and rode it all the way to San Juan. If you still need to kill a few minutes before your next meeting, do yourself a favor and check out yesterday’s report.
