Hi everyone! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. It was a bit smaller today, but still clean and shreddable. The wind came up later in the day again.

Lesther was surfing just south of the river-mouth. There was a long left breaking there and he had the peak all to himself.

Bruno whipped through a few drop-knee 360's on the boog. Not a bad morning for it. The waves weren't super fast so it gave the boogey time and space to move around on the wave face.

Mat found a few decent lefts too. He was riding something closer to a proper shortboard, so it was trickier to maintain speed.

Hands up and buckets (of spray) out! This guy got the head start on the showers of rain that rolled through later in the day.

Nice find Rob! The sets were about chest to shoulder high tops. Can't complain if you've got more speed to work with.

Mat keeping his rail engaged. That's the right thing to do when the surf is soft.

Staying low and compressed was necessary to maintain speed this morning on a standard shortboard.

This guy was being very selective with his waves. It paid off. Nice release with this little tail-slide.

Lucy going for a tail-slide herself! Her section was softer though, so the tail didn't quite release.

Not a bad little window this morning. The forecast looks better for a while. The swell should build from here and the wind should be decent in the coming mornings (at least). Hasta manana!
