Howdy NSR diehard fans. Today we have had rain all day. Been going non-stop since last night. Although this is normal for this time of year, especially for October, it definitely makes for a lackluster surf report. So thanks in advance for bearing through these last few days of not the best surf. Stay tuned for some good news!!!

There are waves, they’re just not as pretty as when we have them 80% of the rest of the year.

On the flip side, this place is going to be that much more green,Ā that much longer going into ourĀ dry (summer) months when these rains finallyĀ come to a halt.

No, unfortunately this was not taken from today, BUT it was taken a few years back on a very similar day like we’ve been having around this same time of year.
Betcha can’t wait to see this gracing the surf reports again soon!

Need some proof…. this is from last year October 21. Just two weeks after tropical storm Nate decimated this place.

Ok Folks. That’s it for today. We have a little more rain in the forecast for the next couple of days, but you saw the writing on the NSR wall here first. Don’t hesitate and start planning your stealth surf strike mission now before you end up watching it only on here from your computer from your office. SBS signing out ~

Hey everyone! Welcome to Saturday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. There was a window early today and right at sunset. At mid-day when I took pictures the wind kicked up making for better turn sections than tubes. Still a few if you knew where to look.
