This is further down the line on the opening wave. Ten pointer for what was available today. Too bad no surfers were in position to make it.

The blonde haired fellow from the Netherlands was on a heater this morning. He chose to ride what looked like a fish today. It worked well for the softer high-tide conditions out on the face.

He caught quite a few waves during his morning session. This wave showcases how silky smooth the wave faces were this morning.

This is another one of the boys from the Netherlands. Putting his large frame to work and displacing a lot of water on this turn.

Turn number two was still very sharp. Sharper turns in the pocket score well on these soft days.

She even fired through a third snap to seal the deal on the inside. Three critical top-turns on a small day, that's an excellent range score right there (in Joe Turpel voice) haha

Blondie blasting away. Maybe he drew some inspiration from Bruna's backhand assault.

The south peak was pretty inconsistent, but this guy managed to find a round tubito down there.

Bruna the backside belter. Look at my alliteration skills.

Ryder found a couple runners up at the north peak. It was a good window for her to get some waves.

Today had it's moments! It wasn't as good as Tuesday or Wednesday, but not so bad all things considered. It looks like tomorrow will be a touch smaller and the wind might crap out earlier, but the morning window could be fun again. Hasta manana.

Howdy everyone! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Panga Drops. The waves were notably better than yesterday, but still marginal. The water was slightly cleaner though so the lineup was more approachable.

Welcome to Tuesday surf report. Early morning started with some glass and then the onshores kicked in. @tonyzphotos bringing todays report.

Howdy damas y caballeros, welcome to your Monday surf report! That little hiccup in swell (I was hoping for that I mentioned yesterday) actually came in as predicted. It was literally only like a foot MAYBE 2 feet bigger than yesterday, but the sun was out, the conditions continue to be pristine (for October standards)..
