Elise was the only surfer to get a wave at the middle-peak during the photos window. The longboard made it easier to find waves out there.

Smooth open-face surfing from Elise. That works well at Pangas.

Hi everyone. Welcome to Wednesday’s surf report from Panga Drops. The wind was ripping today, but the swell finally started to show up at sunset. Not many surfers wanted anything to do with the wind I guess.

Welcome back friends! The winds were the star of the show today, waves were in the 3-4+ range and the crowds were at an all time low with 2 people out at both breaks.
