The tide was still fairly high, so it was good for maneuvers this evening. Nice for the surfers to get some speed and slope to work with out there.

This guy dodged one of the better barrels of the evening. He was actually on a good line, but thought he wouldn't make it so he straightened out.

He was locked in on finding some shade on this right set wave. This was definitely one of the better waves of the evening.

He stayed compact and held his mid-line through the tube. Just stalled and waited for the wave to do the work.

There were definitely some moments and good sets sprinkled throughout the day. It was nice to see Surfline get the forecast correct after a long bad streak. Tomorrow should be similar to today, hasta manana.
