Anyone else get some today...?

And Nat is always fun to watch. Pretty nice guy as well.

Shit. Didn't know you were in town. Let me know next time and I'll take your son out to some lesser known breaks. Plenty of uncrowded surf to be had. It was empty up the coast Saturday afternoon. I surfed solo on a bowly left hand reef.

Yeah, I actually thought about it, but I didn't want to bug you. We were on weird schedule with college visits and just family vaca stuff too.

I he ends up going to school there I will definitely touch base next time I'm there. Thanks man! ...and that Cowells break looks oh so nice for a kook like me!

Brother says pavones is double to triple overhead.... Friend that lives on a ranch at jalama in Cali says its pumping double overhead..., here in Hawaii head high....

Meanwhile in Puerto

And I thought the beach break I hit up on Sunday had a puerto like feel. But I guess not so much.


Strawjack, Cowells was all time about a month ago with solid sand running from the hotel to the statue. Still in good shape, but the sand bar is a bit depleted. I've had a few sessions out there when it did not feel worth it to go grovel on a short board, and I plan to get my son out there this summer. Such a killer longboard wave out there right now. But it is totally dependent on having a good sand bar built up. Will have to see what this swell does to it.


Winds came up yesterday driving everyone back into town. Bummer to see such a nice swell get run over by local wind chop and short period ribs.

Got a little skunked the last couple weeks at Macaronis, both swell and weather. Still such a fun and user friendly wave, easily my favorite anywhere.

Any body know Macas and any recommendations for something somewhat similar (I know nothing compares) MUCH closer to North America. I've been recommended Nic and specifically stating at Hacienda Iguana to surf Playa Colorado.

Pretty much relegated to the fact this trip that I will forever be a kook, such a slow learning curve. That's the beauty with Macaronis though is the high wave count and thinking about what you want to work on each wave, but I need to hire a coach

Might detour to Santa Cruz in a couple weeks for a bike roadtrip but will bring a board, 3/2 should be fine this time of year? Would be great to hook up with some of you guys.

And Atrain, we definitely need to spend more time in the water buddy!!!

4/3 is more reliable. don't even own a 3/2. Just use my old beater suit if it ever warms up. This can be the coldest time of year with the upwelling. As in low 50s. Add fog and/or wind... Look me up as you get closer to your trip. Will be mostly a weekend warrior the first few weeks of June. If got a foamy, an egg and a log if it is small when your around

Fun was had in Mexico this week

SURF!!!!

Pretty insane few days of swell on that south. Big south + spring winds...not the best combo, but the size of the swell cleaned a lot of the chop up on the sets. Now, if this would have hit in mid/late summer, it could have been all time.

A full day of 4.5 @ 25 seconds...rouge waves everywhere.

PW - you didn't tell me there'd be tow-ins!

Looks a lot cleaner than when I checked it up here Su/M. Next time...!

Yes dude! Rad clean barrel! Just had a little trip to tofino these last few days to chase the south. Reminded me how much better other waves are but still plenty fun with some size. Any time you are out this way let's surf, and I'll let you know when I pull the trigger on a trip south. Sometime soon.

Stayed for ten days at Playa Iguanas a couple years ago with a group of beginner surfers. Just kinda jumped in last second. It was May so a busy time of year, but every time I looked at Playas Coloradas there were 30-50 surfers in the water battling over two take off spots. Nice sand bottomed perfect barrels though. I just said screw it and surfed the much bigger reef break in the centre of the bay that provided some heavy hold downs, but a fun wave. I have heard from other friends that they have been there in fall and there were only ten guys in the water at Coloradas. Maybe I just got unlucky but the perfect, consistent off shore winds made me wish I was part of Nicaragua surfing ten years ago with way mellower crowds.

beats workin

Disappointing conditions with this last swell. Got one decent sesh up the coast, but the full on wind machine was in effect again. Not loving the combo set up right now. Still better than working tho.

Spent the past week exploring the Oregon coastline. Some super fun waves with some decent conditions. Saw the potential of the point. Seemed pretty mind-blowing, otherwise just a collection of exposed and sheltered beach breaks for the most part. Beautiful scenery. A long way south from my normal surf spots on Vancouver island and felt nearly identical in many ways.

hope you didn't have to deal with the dick head locals at the point.
