Rincon is SWELL!! (from the SW)

And they marched in - with a sudden set of swells upon Rincon.

By 3:30pm there were at least 70 surfers in the water, and more arriving... as it was still before 5pm, they could have been arriving as Patagonia employees, who can always take off work for good surf - for others maybe there was a case of "Surfer's Flu"? An odd anomaly that comes upon people as the swells come upon the Rincon!

By 5pm, there were more than 100 in the water - or at least tooo many to count. I saw surfers, wetsuit on, but the top flapping around the waist - RUNNING with their board to get into the water. You go, guys!

While the 'river mouth' was a smooth and popular entry, surfers put-in among the rocks nearest the point as well.

Dozens of new arrivals paddling out.

People gathered on the shore to watch their 'faves' try the new swells.

Crowded conditions between the 'river mouth' and the point.

And also crowded at the point!

Two up.

Best swells yet this season?

If not the best so far, at least they put grins on lots of faces!
