PLAYA SANTANA

What’s up surfers around the world? I’m Baldo behind the camera from Santana beach. The conditions were not that great this morning, and the swell direction was kind of weird, but as we all know, this is nature and there is nothing better than go with the flow of it.

First peak was actually breaking good comparing it to the rest of the peaks here at Santana, mellow rights and fast, vertical drops on the lefts.

The tide was dropping fast so there was a lot of water running out through the channel next to the rocks making the rights difficult to ride.

Towards the center of the beach the waves were scattered and messy. Only one little surfer was trying to figure them out.

At First peak were only 3 surfers, and this guy with the yellow trunks was having a great time.

According to the forecast (which has been not very accurate the last few days), tomorrow will be a lot better, with no onshore winds and a little bigger.
