Everyone was super happy to see the waves coming and breaking all along the beach, every person that came was like “look at that one, wait, look at that other one!”

Of course, more waves means more surfers… after almost two weeks of tiny waves the beach was empty most of the time, but now everybody showed up.

Some parts of the lineup looked like a swarm of angry bees, surfers all cramped together going in circles where everyone was expecting the next great peak to break.

But only a few surfers were actually creating some trouble, “accidentally” dropping in on other surfers.

The offshore showed up too accompanying the swell. Sometimes it was difficult to catch the waves because the wind pushed you back into the wave.

You can see the white caps on the background, it was definitely windier than the last few days.

There were a lot of people not only in the water but also on the beach. This toddler was running around his mother while daddy was playing in the water.

The sandbars here at Santana has been kinda weird, right now the best time to surf is closer to mid tide. On high tide the waves break too close to shore.

The waves will stay this size for one or two weeks, enough for everyone to have fun and stay in shape for when the big swells start showing up in the next few months. Hasta luego!
