There is a little swell starting today and will stay for one or two more days, and Colorado was getting better by the hour.

The few people in the water were eager to get some barrels, but a lot of them got a back or neck massage instead.

The waves were breaking in small sections so it was just a matter of find enough speed to make it through.

From the beach you could see water curtains flying around helped by the famous, year-round Nicaraguan offshore.

The set waves were at least 2 feet bigger but they were very hard to predict where and how they will break. This guy found a good one though.
