Hi! All in all, Sunday was a very exciting day; not only for surfers but the whole town, or at least those people who live and/or spent their day close to the beach. Sunday morning (around 7a.m.) was quite tranquil (at low tide with incoming sea) - in comparison with what we saw in the afternoon - although waves got bigger overnight with sets of 5 feet till almost double overhead at Punta Roca (2-4 feet in between the sets) and 2-6 feet at La Paz. It was a sunny morning, but sea surface was choppy while there was a weak, partly side-, partly on-shore wind, which got stronger in the course of the day. At this time were about 8 surfers out at Punta Roca and a handful at La Paz. With the incoming sea, reaching it's highest tide around 3p.m., waves got somewhat bigger, so that La Paz had sets with waves ranging between 5-8 feet (2-4 feet in between the sets) and Punta Roca sets with double overhead and sometimes more... Sets consisted of 4-7 massive waves with around 4-8 elapsing minutes in between. As by chance, a combination of hightide, which was a kind of extreme high tide and lots of big, big sets, La Libertad's coastline (including the restaurants and houses and the pier and crowds) got really hit around 3p.m. - even one small guesthouse lost it's roof...  - [Thomas]

Hi! Tranquil morning - around 6.30 a.m. - as waves were small at Punta Roca and La Paz beach, ranging between 1-4 feet. Sea surface was choppy, no wind and at Punta Roca I haven't seen any surfers out (3 surfers at La Paz beach). - [Thomas]

Hi! Cloudy and fresh morning (around 7 a.m.), because La Libertad had some rainfall over night. Inspite that there was no wind, sea surface was really choppy. At Punta Roca were about 8 surfers out, "fighting" the current... Waves ranged between 2-6 feet at Punta Roca (La Paz 2-4 feet).  - [Thomas]

Thursday, 12 June 2003
Hi! Sunny morning (around 6.15 a.m.) with lots of fast 2-5 feet waves at La Paz and 3-7 feet waves at Punta Roca (at low tide). There was a permanent and relatively strong side shore wind and sea surface was choppy (feat. current). At La Paz beach were about 2 people out and at Punta Roca were about 10 surfers out... - [Thomas]

Hi! Nice morning (around 6.45 a.m.) at Punta Roca with waves ranging between 3-8 feet at low tide and almost clean sea surface. There was no wind and about 10 surfers out. Last night seemed to be the peak of the actual powerful swells, as some awesome waves were bigger than the pier at La Paz beach... - [Thomas]

Hi! Over night, the "sunday's" swell hold it's size and got even bigger. Around 7.00 a.m., sea surface was still choppy and there was a weak side shore wind, too. At La Paz beach, waves were around 3-6 feet and Punta Roca was really impressive with waves ranging between 3-10 feet. Although there was a real coming and going, I counted for a maximum 7 people at Punta Roca. - [Thomas]

Sunday, 08 June 2003
Hi! Around 7.30 a.m. there was a strong side shore wind and sea surface was therefore really choppy (outgoing sea). Waves were around 3-5 feet, but I haven't seen any surfer out there. During the day the wind changed it's direction, so that there was a weaker on-shore wind in the afternoon and evening. Sea surface didn't clear up - it remained very choppy. After noon, a new swell with bigger waves came in, so that we had 3-7 feet at Punta Roca and about 3-6 feet at La Paz. Late afternoon (incoming sea) I've seen 3 bodyboarders at La Paz, when I went to take the only picture for Sunday. As there were some strong rainfalls in the mountains behind La Libertad, the rivers close to La Libertad turned the ocean brown, as you can see on the photo. - [Thomas]

Hi! Fantastic morning with lots of 2-5 feet waves at Punta Roca (7:15 a.m.). Sea surface was almost clean, no current and a noticeable, but very weak side-shore wind. At Punta Roca were about 6 surfers out. The last picture is my favorite one for today and was taken at the pier and shows a nice left wave from "Playa El Malecón". - [Thomas]

Hi! Punta Roca was quite fun this morning (around 6.30 a.m.), which means that there were a lot of fast 2-5 feet waves, in sets of 3-5 waves and 1-5 minutes between each set (and sometimes some hollow 5-6 "feeters"). As there was no wind and current - sea surface was almost clean - and only 6 surfers out (at 7.10 a.m. 9 surfers), the conditions were quite good for a surfing session. - [Thomas]

Hello! Night was very rainy - I woke up one time during the night when there was a really heavy rainfall. It drizzled until 7.30 a.m. and visibility was very bad. This misty morning didn't attract any surfer to come out, because I haven't seen anybody at Punta Roca and La Paz. Therefore sea surface was choppy but there were plenty of 3-5 feet waves (Punta Roca), too. - [Thomas]

Hello! Punta Roca was fun this morning with lot's of pretty nice lines and only (+/-) 13 surfers out. Sea surface was more or less clean, very little side shore wind (partly on-shore wind) and no current with waves ranging from 2-7 feet. La Paz was also a pretty nice spot this morning with lots of 2-4 feet waves and only 3 surfers out. (Pictures are from Punta Roca.) - [Thomas]

Sunday, 01 June 2003 - Children's day
Hello! Sunday was a fantastic surf day, although there were a lot of surfers out (+/- 20 in the morning and much more in the afternoon - both Punta Roca and La Paz)! At Punta Roca, waves ranged from 3-7 feet with sets of 3-5 waves in a time frame of 5 minutes (more or less). Sea surface was little choppy (choppier in the afternoon), no current and a consistent, but weak on-shore wind. La Paz waves were smaller, but with waves ranging between 3 and 5 feet no less interessant. Sun was really "agressive" till 2 p.m. and made a rushgard absolutely necessary. - [Thomas]
