PLAYA COLORADO

Hi everyone! Josh back on the report again. Yesterday the wind stiffed us pretty hard in the morning. Today we had favorable wind all through the morning and early afternoon. That means tubes!

There were plenty of rights and lefts scattered across the lineup around high-tide when I took photos this morning. I think this might've been the best window of the day.

This surfer at the "deep South" peak took a great line into the barrel, but it ran a little fast on him.

The Brazilian (or Portuguese - sorry I forget) maestro snuck through a few keepers today.

The crowd was fairly spread out this morning, so it was easy pickings for him.

There was a good mix between lefts and rights today. The waves were coming in erratically and all over the place, but if you sat tight (at least at high-tide), then you got good waves.

There were about 15 to 20 surfers out this morning, but they were having a difficult time positioning themselves for the sets. I ran into the same issue when the tide drained in the late morning.

This fella made a few keepers throughout the morning. This was a clean and open left. Not necessarily the deepest barrel, but a keeper none the less.

You can't tell in this photo, but he had to kick through the wall because someone paddled out directly through his line. That is always disappointing when you are the guy in the tube.

To close today's action, we have a solid three turn combo from a visiting shredder.

His rail bogged pretty deep here, but he managed to nurse through the turn and pull off the completion.

Schwappah! A solid slap to close the wave down. Best turns of the morning.

One last dreamy little left. The swell is starting to fade just as quickly as it arrived. Surfline failed us this time. It does look like another swell is coming sometime next week, but I'm mentally discounting the size after how Surfline hosed us with their hype of this swell. It was fun, but not as good as forecasted. Tomorrow should still offer up some shreddable leftovers, but with fewer overhead sets and barrels.

Hey everyone! Welcome to Saturday’s surf report from Colorados. The waves were about the same size as yesterday, maybe a touch smaller. The wind was offshore and favorable all day. I took pictures around mid-day, so the sun was blazing and crowd was light.
