Every now and again a head-high set would come through, but it was very slow slow. I guess the crazy high swell interval was the causal factor here.

I thought we would be seeing some tube action today, but it was another day of open face surfing.

The north peak started to work a little bit today, which was not the case in prior days.

A well timed drift from this fella. This is one of the few times where I don't mind seeing a bit of counter-rotation in the upper body.

Even if the size was lack luster, the wind speed and direction were good.

I like this guy's line of sight and torso position coming through this bottom turn. You need a good bottom turn to execute a good top turn.

If you're bottom turning from the middle of the wave, and didn't descend that sharply, then it's hard to get much torque as you rotate up top.

Uli boy with another solid cameo. Looks like his water time and dedication are paying off. His turns are looking a lot cleaner than when he first got here to Nica.

A new white rash surfer spawned and was loving the chop-hops.

No one could go "band for band" with him when it came to the chop hops haha. I actually saw him perform two consecutive chop hops. These were different waves, but he literally fired through one after the other. He's got those neurons well connected.

I have to give today's surfers credit, they didn't slack off even though the conditions were disappointing.

Unlucky for Alvaro with this guy paddling back out. A little traffic jam! Tomorrow is forecasted to be about the same size as today, but you really never know with the way Surfline has been as of late. Hasta manana.
