Saturday at 10h, ESE, 16-18 kts, big waves on low tide, in front of Golfinho you could count up to 5 waves breaking on perfect sets, sometimes on the outside, waves were 3-4 mts if measured on the front of the wave, at 13h wind went a bit down, 14-16 kts, 12-16 kts until dark, in the water 4-5 kites, on high tide, water arrived up almost to the hotel beach front, the best day since the big swell back last October.
Sunday, at 10h, ESE, 16-20 kts, the waves, a bit smaller than yesterday but still quite big, perfect ramps and memorable riding again, at 12h, 13-18 kts, at 15h, 14-20 kts and 14-16 kts until dark, today we had quite a few brazilian locals on our area.
Unfortunately I rode alone, so, there were no pics of the waves, only at high tide, when the swell went down, some of the guys showed up (the pics), the sand bar of Icarai lagoon was flooded by the high tide, bringing more water to the lagoon, Robert and Hedwig, left yesterday, they can be considered almost locals, after their third visite in the last few months.
Today Monday, the swell was down, still some waves but nothing as the last two days, at 10h, ESE, 16-22 kts, at 13h, down to 14-18 kts to go up again to 16-20 kts, the choppy got bigger with the coming high tide, so did the shore break, the kite action today very calm, barely 3 kites in Golfinho and a few more towards Eco.
Today we had one more meeting with the kite schools and the local authorities, next one is scheduled for Friday, same time, same location, 16 at Golfinho, solutions are on the way!.
Here some pics of this days:
