PLAYA COLORADO

Hey everyone! Josh back behind the lens for the next few days. Welcome to Wednesday’s surf report from Colorados. The swell head steady from yesterday, but unfortunately the wind got on it by 10:30am. There was an afternoon rain shower and I came back around sunset after the rain to find that it had cleaned up some. Not as good as yesterday afternoon’s magic window though.

Ryan and Noah were the first to get in the water after the rain. Noah getting comfortable on the boogey! Noah's got the perfect dad to guide him through the progression process.

Father and son stoke! Getting kids comfortable in the waves and making the ocean fun for them is essential if they are going to be surfing as they get older.

There were some make-able barrels this evening. It was slow between the good ones, but not impossible out there.

There were slightly more lefts than rights, as the wind was blowing from the West which helped push up into the lefts.

It was still thick and powerful. Not for the feint of heart.

The rights were better than the lefts when they came. The swell had more west so they were thick and heavy.

One of the only surfers to paddle out was this goofy-footer. He did well to send it deep on some set waves.

I told Kai DeLorenzo yesterday that, "It's not about how many good ones you made, but how many good ones you pulled into that counted today." The same holds true for this fella today.

If you're properly surfing hollow waves, there will be times where you end up in this spot haha. I know I got ragdolled more than a dozen times yesterday afternoon.

Speed was the name of the game with the low-tide and high interval swell.

Another empty right. Hopefully the onshores don't blast all day tomorrow. Would be nice to get some sort of window.

It was easily overhead on the sets still. A nice drop from our surfer. He took a low-line, and probably should have held a tighter and higher line, but still a good wave.

On the thick onshore days like this you won't have time to turn up into the barrel. So knifing the drop and staying tight for the first section ultimately determine your fate.

It was disappointing to have the wind kill what would have been an epic day of surf. Hopefully the wind behaves better at some point in the near future, but I'm not going to lie, the wind forecast looks pretty rough for the next five days or so.
