Surf - in June?!?


We talk about the two seasons in Puerto Rico - surf season and snorkel/dive season. This is supposed to be dive season. Last Tuesday Darryl, Zan and I were going out for a "breakfast club" early morning dive and - wow! waves! Shacks was way too big to go diving. So Zan left to take her new kitty kat to the vet, Darryl headed to the dive shop to get ready for a SCUBA class, and I grabbed my new birthday-present lens and headed for Middles to give the dogs a run and to see if anyone was out.

There are almost always surfers bobbing around at Jobos, even on the flattest calmest days (hope springs eternal amongst surfers - "hey, a set might come in") but if it's flat, nobody goes to Middles. There were a dozen or so surfers at Middles catching some great waves, some as big as overhead. The surfers were happy, the dogs got a great run and they were happy and I got some good pictures with my new lens so I'm happy. You can see the see the rest of the set on PuertoRicoSurfPhoto.com. Click on the "surfing" button and scroll down 'til you see June, 2008, in the righthand column.

It has stayed windy and wavy - really unusual for this time of year.
