A bunch of the old surfers that have lived here a long time say that this is the worst August/September for surf in 18 years. Luckily, I have been so busy with the house, I never got bored or stir crazy (a common feeling for me after not surfing for a while). In the past two weeks I really started to think about surf again though. We are in finishing stages on much of our house so I am reliant on contractors to do the skilled labor…so I have a bit of downtime (although there is always something that can be done around the house).

Yesterday…the surf started coming in (waist to chest) around 5:00pm. Unlucky for me…I was stuck at the house because we had wet concrete at the entrance way to the driveway. Mark said it was fun..so we met at Sandy Beach this morning and surfed waist to chest high glassy waves for about 2 hours with two other people in the water. Did I mention the water is 83 degrees?

I am not going to jinx myself and say the surf drought in Puerto Rico is over, but the swell forecasting charts are calling for North Swell pushing through for the next week.
