Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday evening’s surf report from Colorados. There was still some size today, but the waves weren’t all that hollow this evening. It was better for surfing top to bottom (maneuvers).

This right was one of the only hollow waves I saw all evening. It was the diamond in the rough. It caught the handful of surfers out by surprise.

I think this is Skeeter. I could be wrong, but it's hard to mistake his appearance and powerful surfing.

Will with a casual wrap. When the wave slows down there's no need to rush your maneuvers.

This little insider right drained pretty hard. A grom could've got the barrel of their life in this thing.

Alvaro with another zingy carve. He seemed to be enjoying the left dominance of the swell direction and sandbars today.

Some of the sets bent away and had long shoulders. Speed was still necessary on the sets and down-the -line waves today.

The surf wasn't epic today, but it had its moments. Tomorrow is going to be pretty small, then we get a little push on Sunday. Hasta manana.

Hey everyone! Welcome to Wednesday’s surf report from Colorados. Surfline regained my trust by accurately forecasting the power of the swell we received today and yesterday. You can even see the swell line featuring at the outer chunk of rock outside of the lineup.
