POPOYO

Hola a todos, cómo van?Today was the peak of the swell, so I decided to go to check out a few breaks to see how each one reacted to the two swells hitting at the same time.

I went to Popoyo, which it’s only 15 minutes away, and this is what I found… super clean, big and wide waves opening both ways.

Most of the waves there were big but slow, kinda soft, which made it great for wide cutbacks and roundhouses all the way.

But some of them wrapped better on the reef creating a steeper wall for more radical moves.

Perfect combination to leave a massive water curtain behind it.

There were a few people enjoying the show sitting at the restaurant in front of the break, everybody trying to get a video and/or photos of the action.

These two girls went by carrying their surfboards, probably heading to Battleship point, which is mellower than anything around here.

Even the guys surfing the main peak of Popoyo were paying more attention to Duckies.

There were many peaks around Beginners bay, lefts and rights all over the place, and just a few kids surfing there.

PLAYA COLORADO

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.
