NW PR Report and Forecast of 4/19/2010, noon
The surf report: Beautiful, translucent waters this morning.
Muy glassiosa, crystal clear. The reefs were bright and sparkling, showing
all their colors - white, brown, red, orange and the sea plants flowing
in the swell underneath. Waves were breaking 2 to 3 feet at PdP, a shallow
reef with predominantly lefts with some good rights to be had this morning.
Minus tides created some very shallow spots at the end of the ride, maybe
12 inches or so - shallow enough for my 4.5 inch fin to scrape now and then.
Did I say fun tubasos? Hit the water at 6:30am and didn't get out until
mid-morning when my legs were dead tired and killing me. Food content:
Jamon, heuvo y queso con cafe from the usual panaderia.

Wind was on it early and I was on it late. That's what happens when you
hit the bohios with su amigo. Tomorrow will be a DP to capture some of the
remaining swell, and maybe Tuesday.

NW PR Report and Forecast of 4/17/2010, am
Saturday, 4/17/2010 Surf Report: Checked the surf, picked up a cup
of coffee and went back to PdP and paddled out. Waves were a little
better than they looked from shore, current was running strong and
it was def a wind swell, about 3 to 7 foot. Didn't catch many in the
1-1/2 hrs out. Also realized that my 4.5 inch center fin was set too
far back because the board was digging in during some turns (I had set it
up in the event TDLR was working). My last wave found me on the shallow
inside with a minus tide running on an already shallow reef break so I
paddled in at the secondary spot.
Ordered a jamon, huevo y queso sandwich and another coffee and drove over
to check out Little Teapoo. A bodyboarder was dropped off by his wife and
he paddled out, I ate my sandwich and watched. Less wind on this spot so
I decided to join him. Waves were a fun, glassy 2-4' with some little
tubitos here and there. We alternated waves and talked story. Turns out
that Omar is an OR nurse and studying to be a nurse anesthetist and is
also a CNOR, so we discussed job opportunities for my wife. He also went
to high school with Edwin.

NW PR Forecast of 4/14/2010, am
Four successive reports showing swell (pm/am/pm/am) has lifted
hopes for some ok swell - Checkered RPM now looks to be in-play
instead of Orange Matter. Even Tuesday's forecast of 1-3' surf,
from a NNE swell of 3 feet at 10.6 seconds looks promising for
my little shallow reef left break.

Yesterday's forecast was so dismal that I didn't post it. More swell is
back in the water, albeit short period NE'ly.
6PM Update is looking better for my first two surfable days with NNE/N
swells (see far bottom)
