PLAYA COLORADO

Hey everyone! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. The size did come up today, but it was very inconsistent. I guess we were a victim of a single swell (not combo swell), and it was a 19 second swell interval. Still some bombs as you can see though.

Tubes were the main attraction today, but this guy decided to shoot for the moon.

Nothing like a thick, green, Super Mario Pipe run to start the day. For the vision!

The swell was supposed to build through the day, but the biggest and most consistent window was this morning before and while I shot pictures.

Rights dominated the lineup given that there is relatively more West in this swell.

You can see we've got more size and barrels. Surf season is pretty much in swing. You can enjoy some time behind the curtain like this guy if you pull the trigger on tickets + accommodation!

Rowan skating into a glassy inside bowl. He was the luckiest guy today, as most of the waves were overhead plus on him!

The single swell, 19 second mirage... Maybe I just had the reverse horseshoe on me today, hence my grumpy take. It should be better by all metrics over the next few days. Hasta manana.

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.
