The SW swell gave us some head high leftovers (sets were a touch overhead). The period dropped so the waves were slightly more peaky.

This unknown surfer caught many waves and was all over the face. Check this spot out at low tide or during a swell to find long rippable lines!

Yesterday was a barrel fest at our homebreak’s peak high tide. Now that the swell is dropping off, paddle out at a mid tide and you might find a few gems with good shape.

Or if your name is Brian and you’re in full vacation mode, grab a morning coffee and juice, find a hammock, and enjoy the morning!

Tom Sherf from Marisombra had a sick board trip yesterday! He found soft playful waves then some big double up barrels. Today, he was happy to blow the lip off the wave.

The inbetweeners were a little smaller and mushier. There was still plenty of face to work with and rip!

Scott Stueber from Casa Blanca was experiencing the wave’s tough drop first hand. It may be a fat mushy wave but it packs a punch (and so do the six set waves behind it!).
