PLAYA COLORADO

Hey, hey, hey! Long time no see viewers! Josh back behind the lens after Tony hard carried for most of this month. Thanks Tony! Wednesday’s surf report is coming from Colorados. There were a few waves today, but nowhere near as good as what was forecasted. I looked at Surfline’s swell map and my best guess is that we were “shadowed” by the Galapagos.

The waves were walled up and stretched today. The gas pedal was your friend.

Everyone had the right idea out there though. Looking for tubes. I was on the same program, but was unsuccessful today.

This shirtless rider didn't quite get behind the curtain, but followed up with a smooth turn.

This guy with the red board won the heat. I saw him squeeze into and out of no less than 5 mini-barrels while I was shooting.

The hollowest and sickest waves were usually the ones that were pretty walled up. But the corners of those waves had opportunity.

Mr. Rojo using his rail on a smooth right. He was fired up out there.

This was a solid turn from this rider on a tricky section. Look at all that foam and froth on the wave face.

I like this guy's attitude. He sent it on this set wave even though he was under the lip and late. When it's slow like today, you have to speculate and take risk.

I'm praying we see more hollow and thick waves like this one tomorrow. Few and far between was the story of the day.

Good to get your tuck and duck reps in today. In case the swell finally shows up.

The river-mouth left mirage. Not enough South in the swell for this peak to be working! Tomorrow morning is supposed to be smaller, but I'm hoping the direction of the swell clocks around such that the swell really shows up. See you tomorrow.

Hey everyone! Welcome to Thursday evening’s surf report from Panga Drops. The swell height and interval were both notably higher today. So much so that most of the action was at the middle-peak, with less happening at the sandbars. Asher with a stylish entry on an outside right bomb.

Hey amigos! Welcome to Tuesday afternoon’s surf report from French Fries. The wind was strong, but the direction of the wind was fine. I’d argue there was a touch more power and consistency today, so better waves.
