The tide was high when I took pictures so it wasn't super hollow and fast. There were some open faces for maneuvers.

That being said, the conditions were so clean that there were still tubes even over dead-high.

This guy had to fold up tight, but he found some shade.

The step-ups and barrel boards were swapped out for performance shapes and more skate-y equipment.

The lineup was pretty empty. I saw plenty of good lefts just south of where everyone was sitting.

Still some shoulder high-sets. Lots of wall to work with.

It was kind of like a wavepool out there. But most of the resident crew were beat after going as hard as possible during the big stuff.

The lefts were better today, but there were still a few good rights for those who prefer that direction.

Textbook turn from this guy! He got to tear up pretty much any wave he wanted during this window.

It was still a good day of waves. Hard to believe the size will be gone by tomorrow. Maybe we'll be lucky and it will still be chest-high at Colorados on the sets in the coming weeks. I have low expectations though haha. Time to rest until the next big swell. Hasta manana.

PLAYA COLORADO
Hey amigos! Welcome to Wednesday’s surf report from Colorados. The waves were smaller today, but the sets still had a bit of size. The conditions were very clean. The smoothest and most well groomed waves that I saw this week.
