The waves were lackluster a mere 30 minutes earlier. The wind was a bit funky and the sets totally stopped. So it was hard to believe my eyes when I posted up to take pics.

It was pretty much wave after wave for 30 minutes straight while I took pictures. But the window only lasted around 45 minutes to an hour.

By the time I had returned with my board the wind was already a bit funkier. Yuji was on the beach watching with me. We both saw it turn on and turn off so quickly.

Everyone went in shortly after Yuji and I because of the prolonged lull in the sets. So it's mostly a mind surf report.

There were rights and lefts rifling away. Yuji and I have the curse on us right now. We missed the best windows of the day and paddled back out in time for it to turn off each time haha.

They were fast, but definitely make-able. Especially given how perfect the wind was.

I would argue that the lefts were longer and better. Some of the rights were thicker and more square, but it's rare to see lefts run like this here.

I told you it was crazy. This is the very next wave in the set. The waves really went "band for band" on us haha.

I came back at sunset to see if I could capture some surfers. Colin got the better waves of the evening. Flirting with the guillotine blade here haha.

His front-side style is hard to beat. It's more arms down and old-school, but very functional.

He put the Eberly board to good work here! Repping his and his pops own gear. Making riding a single-fin look easy.

It was a very unpredictable day of waves. But there were some moments equal to that of yesterday. Maybe not quick as thick and powerful. The swell has almost completely faded though. So it will be fairly gutless tomorrow and Saturday if the forecast is right. Hasta manana.
