The surfers headed out early to Toro-Toro, where shoulder-to-head-high waves greeted them at sunrise. On the right, steeper takeoffs led into long, mellow walls that ran farther than expected. As the tide filled in, some surfers shifted to Airport Right, where the new swell began to pulse and waves broke with more speed and power over the reef. Conditions stayed clean throughout the session.

Surfing the airport reefs is always a unique experience—from the boat ride to the lineup to planes taking off and landing nearby. The waves build quickly and run long down the reef’s angled contour.
