Hey amigos! Thursday surf report coming your way from Playa Colorado. More fun, small to medium size waves today! This guy found a really hollow rip-current right.

Today’s action mostly consists of tubes, but there were still a few rippers belting lips and busting airs. I shot today’s report in the morning, but this guy is signaling high noon?

Tuck-n-roll! Rights dominated the lineup today and I got a few cool shots featuring the lifeguard flag (indicating they are on the beach with eyes on the lineup and waterline).

Now for my favorite wave of today’s report. Of course, it’s Finley out there running amuck and catching all the best waves.

Finley kind of got a sick barrel here, but his naughty double knee form begs the question of it truly counts? I think he was just monkeying about on this wave, but it ended up being a better wave than he was expecting.

I mean look how deep he is here? I wonder if he was wishing he’d surfed it properly at this stage haha!

Finley leaning forward in search of the exit. Seeing Finley out in the water so much reminds me of when I first moved here and was logging 4 to 6 hours of surf time each day haha! Finley is still at that fiery age where he will surf regardless of the conditions as long as he is in the mood. Now I’m pretty picky with my surf sessions XD

If you saw yesterday’s report, then you remember the party wave from the end of the report. Looks like two fellas from the same group (hopefully), were back at it again! Looks like the one dude was probably too deep here, but when you’re the guy at the shoulder it’s good to err on the side of caution if you think the deeper surf as even a remote chance of making it across the face.

Finley may end up usurping my epithet, joshhavepigdog. Just wait until the next swell comes Finley and I’m not in the whitewater! Haha!

Nacho (I think that’s his name) on a super clean right-hand runner. Blue-berry JollyRanchers for everyone!

Pangas looked decent as well! Clean wave faces and not many guys out.

Our coastline here is sometimes referred to as the “Emerald Coast”. I can see why! Colorados living up to this reputation.

Oscar Espinoza snuck out for some waves under my radar, until I saw him bust this frontside air-reverse. Textbook form and style on display here, I’m taking notes!

To close out today’s surf action, we have a guy sitting really deep on this right’s foam-ball. He did well to pull in and stall some, but I think he may have parachuted too hard here and the next section outran him.

Get on it boys! It was another beautiful day here with good surf conditions in Hacienda Iguana. We are still waiting on some “epic” conditions to return, but I don’t think anyone is complaining too much after how flat most of July was haha! Tomorrow looks like it will be smaller, but likely still some good surfing on display from Finley and the other young bucks. Thanks for checking in viewers and I hope to reach you again mañana!
