NW PR Report and Forecast of 1/17/2010

Morning Report: Met up with Bob Savidge early this morning ISO surf.
Next rendeveauz point was with Edwin - things were working in the
neighborhood so no trip to the north coast was needed. Turns out it
was smaller up there anyway according to one of the local boys
that ventured up there.

Winds were clean this a.m., finally!!! Edwin, Walter, Bob and I shared
waves for the next two hours, but to be perfectly candid, Edwin and
Walter were all over it. Bob and I were drained by the side current and
thanks to Edwin and Walter for giveing me several waves. Bob was less
fortunate - the break was a bit to critical for him so he didn't catch
any. Even thought it will likely be smaller than today's 3-4' he will
probably opt for some of the softer spots around Rincon. More of the
local crew hit the water after 9:30am, by which I was already toast and
caught a rare right in. Some post surf treats at my favorite local
panaderia. Edwin also showed us an excellent platano restaurant.
