The surf conditions stayed similar to yesterday and will be the same until the swell next week. In the meantime, enjoy sets of shoulder high and chest high in betweeners!

Oscar Espinoza wanted a piece of today’s action. After destroying the wave’s face, I don’t know if the wave wanted him anymore…

Today was filled with many turns, cutbacks, and a few hacks. Rafa was testing the rails of his new Tomos before he leaves this weekend.

The winds were super light this morning and are likely to turn onshore (but softly) this afternoon. However, one unknown surfer found a tube!

Onshore winds are desperately needed for the locals. The fields and wells are dry and the fishermen are ready for a big season. When the wind flips onshore, take advantage and go fishing!

Or, if you’re a buck twenty and rip, practice your airs. Oscar said he wanted to show off his beautiful new board and stickers for the camera.

His brother, Lesther, was popping a couple off down the beach. If this guy can’t get barreled, expect to see him flying through sections.

While it’s rainy, the clouds are grey. On the other hand, the water has a gorgeous clear blue tint.

William Jordan is in town for his fourth visit. It’s always a tradition to get this stud on the report and watch him catch cobia!

Even when the conditions or barrels aren’t epic, there is always a section waiting for you. Head out towards high tide today to find more playful rollers.

Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday’s surf report from Colorados. It was another small, but fun day of waves. Looks like the last mellow day for a good eight to nine days. Finley managed to find a couple of tubitos.

Hey everyone! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. The surf was still fairly small today. There were moments where it pulsed and moments where it lulled out. Still clean and good for turns.
