Another day of great weather/water, but mediocre waves. The waves were bigger than the last few days, some getting to the shoulder range, but none of the waves had any strength behind them. The sets would roll in, we’d get all excited, we’d paddle our hearts out then – poof! The waves would just disappear…
What can we do with all these small days? It’s kind of funny, actually. Looking at the reports beforehand, surf conditions looked grim. Driving into the parking lot, the surf still looked bleak.

We are always trying to up the game here and El Porto Fridays. Well today we bring you…VIDEO! Unfortunately we also bring you…1 FOOT WAVES! It wasn’t much of a good surfing day at El Porto today. But it sure did make it easier for us to test out the camera in the smaller surf. …
It was totally awesome. I was totally there. The waves were still huge from the giant swell sent to Huntington courtesy of a Tahitian storm. Many of the massive wave would just wall out, crash and blow mist up the beach. The US Open was down to the Round of 16 which meant 2 man…
