General View

Week 30: June 01, 2008
 
Friday's swell is coming to an end, surf was fickle over the weekend little wind. Had to wait for the right wave.

Today some waves, chest high, SW, 209° and 13 second period.

Tides:
Low by mid morning 1.48 feet, and High mid afternoon 1.19 feet.

Wind:
SE 128° from 8 to 16 knots. Will remain moderate during the week.

Weather°C:
Today: Partially overcast to 22°C
Tomorrow: Partially sunny to 22°C
Rest of the week: Partially sunny to 22°C

Ocean Surface Temperature
17.2°C. Wind contributes to the chill factor. Some tips: Drink some fluids before the surf session, water on your body will keep you warm, one of the salt water properties is that it drains your body fluids, so drinking liquids before you enter the ocean is a good idea.
After the session, take off your wetsuit and dry up immediately, put some warm clothes on. Take along some hot chocolate, tea or coffee so you can drink after the session to regain warmth and replenish energies.

Surf is not being reflected as the forecast maps show, you can watch the surf over the horizon going some place else but the breaks. Miraflores had some closed out sets; Pampilla crowded and same conditions; Redondo with some cleaner sets. Overall disorganized.
The conditions were better yesterday and are even better and clean today, there's still is some swell showing, let's see what Sunday's SW will bring.

Punta Hermosa area:
Some surf up to 2.5 meters at big wave sites. Moderate wind. Better next Sunday

San Bartolo:
Sets up to chest high, Will be better on Sunday
 
 
Comments:
 

There has been some debate over the Hotel to be built in la Florida, Tumbes. Some think it is a good project, others that it is not. The people of Tumbes need work, increase their income, and this Hotel will bring lots of plus benefits to the zone, maybe even some work for surfers.

Some times there are other ways to express surfing than being on the water, it's by art. I want to show a drawing made by someone who had he's first surf session, this is what he felt. He drew this on his diary. Stocked huh? I think so!!!
