PLAYA COLORADO

Hey everyone! Welcome to Wednesday’s surf report from Colorados. Josh back behind the lens for the next few days. The waves were fun today, but not as good as forecasted by Surfline.

There was a good mix of rights and lefts today. The crowd was thin most of the day and the variety of peaks helped spread the crowd out.

He seemed to have a really strong magnet on, as most of the best set waves came right to him.

Those of us on the beach were cheering him on and holding our breath in anticipation.

No sign of our surfer's board. If he makes this it's a 10 pointer right?

If you wanted lefts, then the South peak was the place to be.

The surfers were all about racking up as many points and maneuvers as possible on their waves. I need to take a note out of their book for the competition tomorrow.

It was super clean all day and there aren't any signs of onshore in the forecast. The onshores won't be missed!

If these sets were coming in every 5 minutes, then today would've been all time. It was a slow paced day of sets though.

The view from deep behind the curtain with the bright green wave and lip color would've been perfect.

The rights get very bright and colorful in the afternoons with the sun behind you. Quite the visual experience.

No end sections were safe from today's surfers. Barrels alone weren't enough to quench their desire to shred.

It was a beautiful shoulder season day. The forecast doesn't look tiny moving through the first half of December, but I don't see as much push as this swell in the forecast range. Tomorrow is the highly anticipated Chompipe surf contest. It'll be an all day affair so the report won't be up until after dark, but be sure to check in on Friday and review Thursday's shenanigans.

Howdy Monday saffas!!!! This morning’s surf looked like the swell has definitely dipped from the last time I saw the waves, which was about last Wed. (Big Thanks to Daniel too for covering for me while I was out of town for a few days shooting some “non-surf related things in SJDS). But, the conditions..

Buenos dias amigos & Happy Sunday!~ Today was an early bird gets the worm type of morning…. and although it was small, the birds were happy and content with the clean and nice warm morning conditions which also had some pretty amazing light to top it off! Enjoy!
