Hello! This is Baldo with today’s surf report. Today I decided to go check out a couple of spots to see where to go surfing tomorrow, now that the swell started building up through out the day. I went to the two closest breaks from my house: Santana beach and Popoyo beach! Nada mal, verdad?

First stop was Santana. When I arrived there where only two surfers in the water and these three guys were getting ready to get wet.

This surfer was one of the first two guys in the water. He was by himself at first peak catching everything! as soon as he made back to the line up he just turned around and catch the next one.

Here is the second guy, also by himself but in the middle of the beach catching mostly rights. The waves here were closing out but he managed to get a few good ones.

Santana is famous for its fast, hollow waves and today was no exception… these two guys shared the peak but none of them could go fast enough to make it to the face.

The locals know exactly what to do when surfing close out waves… go for a sick floater along the lip!

On my way to Popoyo I found this cute family getting dinner on a Chilamate tree. This area is full of Howler monkeys!

Made it to Popoyo… the bar was busy with spectators and the line up was getting busier by the minute.

Famous for its long, big wall rights, Popoyo is the spot to go when a good size swell comes in.

It was hard to take good photos because I had the sun right in front of me, so I had to stop. This wave it´s so much fun.

What a perfect way to finish the day… cold drinks, friends, waves and a sunset! Tomorrow is suppose to be bigger so, if you are around, paddle out… if you are away, sucks to be you!
