Hey everyone! Welcome to Monday’s surf report from French Fries. The surf was very small today. The smallest day so far of 2026. Sam navigating the crowd this morning haha. That’s a triple synchronized turtle-roll!

The Rancho crew were having to dodge each other out there haha. That is to be expected this time of the year though. A lineup open to people that are learning.

Not a bad takeoff for this lady. A bit tall, but at least she is looking and pointing where she wants to go.

It looks like this could be the smallest week of surf since about a year ago. Time to dust off the logs and novelty equipment. Hasta manana.

Hey everyone! Welcome to Wednesday’s surf report from Colorados. The waves were better by all measurable metrics today. It was still walled up and slow, but there were definitely some 10 pointers to be had.

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.
