Hey everyone! Welcome to Saturday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. The waves were even better today than yesterday. The morning was definitely the window, but the afternoon was rippable too with the higher tide.

There was a fair amount of South in the swell, so some of the lefts weren't super hollow.

He pretty much made it, but the lip just clipped him when he went for the doggy door. Still a great attempt and vision!

This was the best wave I saw at South peak all day. This guy was probably a touch deep position-wise. But he did the right thing and sent it anyways.

Here's the same wave further down the line. It's pretty rare to see such open and hollow lefts here. A good day for goofies indeed.

The morning pumped hard. The early afternoon was rippable. And sunset was a disappointment. Hoping for another shot at glory tomorrow morning. Let's see what Tony Z captures.

PANGA DROPS

Hey everyone! Welcome to Friday’s surf report from Panga Drops. The surf was tiny and the swell direction was weird, so not even French Fries was working. John and Koji made the right call to pull out the hand-lines.

Hey amigos! Welcome to Thursday’s surf report from French Fries. The waves were small today, but a few people got a very clean window. The vicious off-shores are supposed to start tomorrow, so they might’ve got the last of the good stuff for a bit.

Hey amigos! Welcome to Wednesday evening’s surf report from Panga Drops and French Fries. It was smaller than yesterday and the tide was off, but the wind wasn’t all that bad at sunset. Golden hour glass off. John hustling out there to play stuntman.

Hey amigos! Welcome to Friday morning’s surf report. The forecasted size bump via wind-swell arrived just as called for. This guy with the flashy sharpeye shortboard has been popping off this week. He surfs super light and fast.

Hi everyone! Josh back behind the lens with Wednesday’s surf report from Playa Colorado. The swell was still a bit so-so relative to what was forecasted, but there were fun waves out there for those who were patient.

Happy Tuesday everybody! Waves dipped a little more, at least for the beachie, so me and a few friends decided to head up the road to the reef where it was fun good size and long rights and lefts from the take off spot way out the back.
