How have past Surgical-Strikes turned out??
We don't call a surgical-strike unless we're certain it'll work out. Here's the evidence, gathered from past calls.
Friday, March 23 to Sunday, April 01
Our call: Three significant swells due to arrive in the next 10 days, all of which will coincide with light to moderate offshore winds. The first, which is due in Friday March 23rd, is a strong southerly. Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th will see great form on all the lefts especially Colorados, possibly Popoyo Outer Reef, Lance's Left and Playgrounds. On the tail of the Southerly there's a thumping SW due in on Sunday, March 25th. Sunday 25th and Monday 26th could get messy with combined swell directions, but midweek this situation should clear up. On Thursday, March 29th there's whomping 3ft, 20 second swell showing. Swell's of this size can take a day or two to settle down into surfable waves, but my prediction is for Saturday, March 31st and Sunday, April 1st to be all time.
What happened:
Friday, March 23 at Playa Colorado: Overhead, Clean
Whumping southerly (5ft, 15 seconds at 189 degrees) started to roll in midday Friday. Should crank up a notch Saturday then on Sunday will be replaced by a 17 second south westerly. A massive 3ft, 20 second swell has appeared at the end of the long range for Thursday, March 29th.
Wednesday, November 02 to Tuesday, November 08
Our call: The wind finally seems to have settled down and looks like we've got a week of light north easterlies against a solid supply of SSW swell coming up. The waves were tiny yesterday (Oct 31st), so my guess is that the long period forerunners should start appearing today (Nov 1st). Toward the weekend (Fri Nov 4th, Sat Nov 5th and Sun Nov 7th) there's a secondary pulse due in. All in all, the first half of November looks set to be a lot of fun.
What happened:
Sunday, October 23 to Friday, October 28
Our call: Howling onshore gales & heavy rain showers today (October 17th) and for the past week. But there's light at the end of the tunnel. Though it feels hard to believe at the moment, the forecast is indicating a stella week of sunshine, steady southerly swell, light offshore wind and the line-ups will most likely be completely empty.
What happened:
Monday, October 03 to Monday, October 10
Our call: Strong south westerly swell due to start filling in on the afternoon of Wednesday, October 5th will be with us until Tuesday the following week. The weather forecast is good with steady offshore winds predicted until the afternoon of Tuesday, October 11th. Wednesday 5th, Thursday 6th, Friday 7th, Saturday 8th, Sunday 9th and Monday 10th are highly likely to give 4 or 5-Star surf conditions here at Colorados.
