Buenas tardes chicos! It was another gloomy grey day out there. Was actually pretty nice out there super early AM, but unfortuntely I couldn't get out & down to the playa until a bit later today. It’s always that “roll the dice” factor, but it was completely onshore and there wasn’t even anyone surfing down at the beach break; but looking north up towards the reef, after knowing my luck wasn’t going to change for the better at PC, I boogied up the reef where I saw a good head count out up that way. Not the typical time of year to shoot at the reef, but thankfully we always have that as a nice backup wave and pace to surf, since it likes all swell angles and since it’s already a mush burger of a wave (but with a bit of energy if you’re not watching yourself out there), today was more like an October day, only it’s still August.

Ironically, 3/4 of the people out there were my friends who just got in today and are staying at the beautiful NSR and super popularly rented, Casa Soñada beach front home, which sits directly in front of Panga Drop. The views from this home is breathtaking to say the least. Here’s Gareth (one of the many guys in the group) racing to get around this big whitewater section.

Andrew, who I’ve known from past trips, taking this left on his backhand. We’re all eagerly crossing our fingers as it’s supposed to clean up hopefully tomorrow and if not, Friday is forecast to be looking really good!!!

Not sure if there was a sunset, I couldn’t stay long enough to know, but either way the views of this place never cease to amaze anyone who visits this little slice of paradise! Let’s hope for sunnier skys mañana. Be sure to come on by to see what Señor Chris will divvy up for his Thursday surf report. Have a good rest of the evening amigos ~
