Semana Santa is upon us.  We have had some solid surf the past week.  We should start to see the swell dwindle down for the rest of the week though.  We had solid shoulder to overhead surf the past week with good conditions.  We also had a nice crowd too due to the holiday week.  We’ve been getting a little rain here and there but definitely seeing changes in the weather.

We had some great surf this past week.  Surf height ranged from waist to head high+ with fair to good conditions.  We got some rain too for the first time this year.  What a refreshing feeling as we had gone months with just hot and dry weather.  Hopefully we can start seeing a little more moisture as it is super dry here to help all the flora and fauna and the low water wells too!

We had some great surfing conditions today as the swell finally arrived overnight with overhead + surf.  Conditions were near perfect this morning.  The wind turned around mid-morning but waves were surfable all day!

One other thing that is for certain besides death and taxes, and that is local Jimmy tearing it up when he hits the line-up.
