Great to hear from you trundlebum! It sounds as though you had quite the climbing trip. I feel there's one of them in my future but not for a while. |

North shores - A larger north-northwest swell will peak out around 8-10+ feet( Hawaiian) at those best aligned beaches. There will be a drop for a day or two starting Monday, then a new northwest swell will arrive mid-week lasting for several days = GAME ON!! |

Olaf, the surf trip was off the hook. My lady and I hung in Troncones/Playa la Saladita and had a blast. Small waves (1-2m) and super sunny. La Saladita has the longest left in Mex with beachside bungalow rentals right at the break. Needless to say the place is incredible. Lourdes Valencia owns the property and has a great beachside restaurant. Heading back this summer with the family for 3-5m waves. |

Hi Dave, Thanks for the stoke Dude! Your trip report makes me want to go back down to Mexico again. Some of my very best ocean experiences were when I was free wheeling down there living out of my van with absolutely no set schedule or destination. Drop in often! |

Yesterday was real big and gnarly. The faces of the set waves were easely 20'++ and closing our all channels. I dropped in on some of the biggest waves of the season and kicked out at the first sign of a close out. All went well until I was washed over the big rock at the mouth of the channel.I was relatively unscathed other than some painful ribs. I hope this doesn't keep me pot of the game. |

Olaf, thanks for the Pipe link. I'm in my classroom with my students right now streaming it. Pipe rips. Super cool. |

Dave F and trundlebum it's great to here from you guys and know that you are digging the stoke that I have for this thread and the the ocean! Check out my friend Giampaolo's blog post covering Thursday's epic conditions that I mentioned up thread. My ribs are very tender from getting washed through the rocks at the end of my session that day so I didn't wave sail yesterday. The waves still had some respectable size and it looked real good. Several of my friends were out tearing it up at Kuau. mauisurfreport.blogspot.com… |

super sweet at Pipe this weekend. Kelly and John John's battle was the best of the weekend I thought. Now it's time to figure out the summer swell and where to go in the Pacific. My girl and I are thinking Tavarua, or something similar in August. Any ideas/suggestions? |

Still keeping the dream alive.... good for you Olaf. |
