This left was the fired wave. Some waves in the seth were insane. The low tide is not to like for some surfers, but always there are some good waves during this time. You don’t think so?

Hey amigos! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Colorados. I saw the waves turn on and off about 7 separate times today. The conditions were in constant flux. It just so happened to be that the best window of the day was when I took pictures around 1:00pm.

Hey everyone! Welcome to Wednesday’s surf report from Colorados. The waves were better by all measurable metrics today. It was still walled up and slow, but there were definitely some 10 pointers to be had.

Hey amigos! Welcome to Tuesday evening’s surf report from Colorados. The swell was bigger and stronger today, but it was very slow between the sets. I think the lack of a secondary swell combined with the sandbars not being in perfect shape made for long waits.

El Codo Lopez grabbed the camera for a little while today but unluckily he made it to the beach a little late.  The winds were blowing from the sides and the conditions were not the best.  Even though there were a few fun ones rolling in.  Check it out!!!
