After two weeks, the offshore is back! And after a couple of big rains the river opened up making some moves on the sand bars.

There is still some sand to be moved around but it’s coming. This photo is right before this guy got covered.

While the sand bars finish re-accommodating, there are plenty of vertical walls to hit.

And also big fat chunky sections great for a cutback to readjust the speed.

With all the excitement of the returned good conditions some people forgot that you cannot take all the waves you want, there are some rules out there.

I think this lucky surfer was Rayito, and if it was him then, no luck was involved in this wave, only knowledge!

These guys were tired of surfing all day with perfect conditions at Colorado and other spots (only by boat access). So they decided to go for a walk on the beach to find a cheap cold beer while checking the surf.

They even almost bought dinner right away but they didn’t want to go carrying around a dead Dorado while zipping beers.

The offshore is back and it will stay like this for the rest of the year. Ok, maybe a few more days of onshore through out the year but just a few more. Come back tomorrow and every day to see it for yourself. Bye!

Happy 4th of July! The size of the surf dropped notably today. There were still good sets, but patience was key (again). Hard to believe there were no takers on this one!
