PLAYA COLORADO

Welcome back for another daily surf report and we are back home at our normally scheduled wave out front the majestic and miraculous Colorado wave. It looked pretty fun this morning with 4-6 foot waves coming in consistently and some bombs coming every so often. We are looking at a day of fun sized waves and potentially some really nice shape today when the tide starts to drop out before getting shiwhacked tomorrow with some new reinforcing swell that should produce well overhead maybe double over sized waves.. 6.2ft at 18s SSW 202 hitting tomorrow

Not a lot of barrels this morning but that coincides with the higher tide so expect some more hollowness later today possibly.

Nice corners and some peelers that were giving multiple maneuver opportunities a plenty this morning.

I got out there this morning around 6:30-7:00am and shot for an hour or so and you know what they say.. the early bird gets the worm.. well the dawn patrol crew get the waves, and this early bird is scoring some little fish.

Greg is visiting us and staying in the Casa NSR which is in the most prime time location of all the houses in Iguana being directly in front of Colorado and next door to the beach club this is the house you wanna stay in if you wanna be in the middle of the action. He was watching this morning and decided to make the paddle out for a few.

Like I said there were still some bombs rolling through the lineup occasionally but not as consistent as the fun no wave of consequence sets were coming in.

Even when you could just see the tip of his board and he was getting snowballed he still managed to make the great escape.

Bring all your friends and jump on a wave together.. just don’t jump on mine lol.. thanks for coming by and checking out our daily surf report. Make sure to cruise through tomorrow and check what B.Scott has in store for you as the swell should be maxing tomorrow so quite possibly be some epic content. If you’re here make sure to check if you made the report, if you ain’t here wtf are you doing with your life?! Jk lol but seriously make the leap.. at least come down and give us a visit we have a forecast of good waves for the next 17 days at least with waves shoulder to overhead so now is the time to make a strike mission. Adios amigos
