Happy TGIF surfers! It was another day of fun waves, however the continued onshore pattern was among us. Luckily the morning has been producing more ideal conditions than any other time of the day…. so let’s see how it went today.

The water was super clean and clear, but the conditions would have you believing otherwise. Unknown dude taking off on a decent sized onshore crumbler.

The one thing that can be said about these onshore conditions is that the water is always so blue and clear.

The benefit of surfing when we have these reverse conditions is that almost anyone who comes here to surf expects offshore waves… so when it does happen to be onshore, like it currently is, it’s almost like anywhere anyone comes from to surf here. So it’s like home (for most), except more than likely you get to be in board shorts! Just trying to stay positive! hahaha

If you like to improve your surfing, try surfing in slop. Like this amigo here, who’s been surfing pretty much every day regardless of the winds, weather or crowds, which isn’t even really a part of the factor.

Glassy,… yes, if you happen to be on it early enough in the day. This is how it looks.

This onshore part of the season reminds me a lot of being back home in California, where it’s onshore more or less 3/4 of the year.

John’s from the East Coast, so I’m not sure how his yearly ration pans out from good to bad for back home. But all I know is he was absolutely RIPPING out there today!

Another thing I noticed is we tend to have better waves than any other contest spot per capita per waves on any given regular basis (meaning holding period). Today would be considered super marginal. Yet, look at this rippable wave. I love this place no matter what!

John taking off on a decent set wave on todays marginal waves. I know people back in CA who would be frothing, even if the Northern or Southern swells were divvying up this kind of juicey sauce at any well known spot along the coast there.

It looks like it may be like this for the rest of the month here in Nica-Land. But if you’re a dedicated follower, you know this is only temporary. So stay tuned and don’t get too discouraged…. I have a really keen sense of optimism for November. As always, thanks for stopping by to check the days surf and my goofy palabras! Much love ~
