I got down to the playa really early to shoot with a couple of friends, one whom was leaving today, but there wasn’t a whole lot of swell to make it worthy of a swim.
Of course, I saw this thing peel in after we decided to pull the plug on the morning water session.
But that was honestly the only good wave we saw in the entire morning. So I decided to wait and check back a little later in the day.
I ended up checking it 2 or 3 more times (between the lack of swell and the super high tide at 3:30), until I ended up coming back for the late afternoon session. Here’s maybe the biggest wave I saw all day.
Aside from the small surf which doesn’t help, I always look and need surfers out in the lineups for my content for the report. So knowing this place pretty well… I know I can always count on people coming down for the evening session.
Maycol always out there prancing in pretty much any conditions.
I shot around these neck of the woods yesterday and let’s just say it was way way way better!

This flaco hombre was finding some nice little corners down the beach.
Matter of fact, this looked like the place for some of the nicest waves that offered some nice turns.
If you wanted to play it right, you needed to bring out the log like Terry did tonight.
He was catching waves all over the place.
Same with this other chico.
Seemed like the long boarders were having the most fun out there there.
Unless you’re a grom and ride a board under 4 feet and the waves have enough power to set you up for some maneuvers like….
THIS, without any hangups.
Hopefully this kid will still be around when we get out next really good swell in about a 8 or 9 days.
Ok mis amigos. Keep paddling out no matter the size, shape or conditions. It’s always about water time. Right now it’s about my bedtime, but I hope we have some nice waves I can shoot tomorrow, somewhere in-between watching the final for the world cup. Hopefully it will be a nail bitter of a game! See ya mañana! Buenas noches ~
RECENT REPORTS
Hey amigos! Welcome to Tuesday’s surf report from Panga Drops. This lady either ended up a bit later than anticipated or misunderstood what it means to get barreled haha! I’ve got to give her credit for looking at this wave though. You don’t know if you don’t go (or at least look at going).
