There were more lefts than rights to be had throughout the day. It probably means there is more South than West in this swell.

This guy had the inside drain-pipes hardwired. It was wave after wave for him.

This mutant, below sea-level right might've been the craziest wave I saw all day. It spit its guts out at the end too. I know Kai would've been tripping on this one haha!

Hayden was on a mission this morning. I saw him pull into some solid waves and heavy tubes. I guess he's extra fired up after having been away from home-base for so long.

The rights were more ripped up and gnarly, but that has its own appeal.

I would say this qualifies as a full send.

Hayden again on a dreamy inside right. He managed to find the first wave of this set, so no sand to distort it!

PLAYA COLORADO
Hey amigos! Welcome to Tuesday evening’s surf report from Colorados. The swell was bigger and stronger today, but it was very slow between the sets. I think the lack of a secondary swell combined with the sandbars not being in perfect shape made for long waits.

Hey everyone! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. We received some rain and onshore wind overnight, but the waves were surprisingly playful during the late morning window.

Welcome back for the Tuesday surf report. A lot of new energy and swell came in today, but the conditions were really messy and pretty NUTS out there. That and the sun didn’t come out pretty much all day, it was gloomy and really dismal, but the swell/waves had some serious loads of power in..
