Hey amigos! Welcome to Monday’s plus-size swell report from Colorados. There were some good windows throughout the day, but you still needed to be patient and in the right place at the right time. Some epic ones to be found though.

I first showed up to take pictures around noon. The tide was high, but there was backwash and a little crumble from the wind. It was flickering between offshore (seen here) and sideshore.

Carlos on a big right. He didn't surf long as the conditions weren't good at this time.

The sun and paddling would've been very intense, but there were still a few tubes even with the high-tide and funky winds.

I returned closer to 3:20pm and the conditions switched from bad to good while I was there. Asher was the first to get waves in this next window.

This is when I saw some of the better waves of the day come through. It was cleaner and less ripped up. The morning window had some good ones though.

Asher with a sharp snap in the pocket. He was ripping through some solid turns even on a tube day!

Asher caught one of the better rights of the afternoon, until we all paddled back out. Then even more good ones came through. Big props for committing to this steep drop.

Hitting the breaks and engaging his body. This is the best that you can do.

Asher did the best he could, but had so much speed from that critical drop that he couldn't wipe it off. Most of the waves were very fast today, so his approach would've worked nine times out of ten here.

Still a sick drop and find for Asher. He got some even better waves later. Not bad to show up in NIca and get shacked after only having been back a few days.

It was a day of beat-downs and lots of paddling, but also some great waves. A nice opening swell to kick off the season. But the size will mellow out for a while after this. Tomorrow there should be some hollow leftovers though! Hasta manana.
