Beachbreaks can be a lot like gambling – you roll the dice, pray for the best. And longtime local charger Roger Ramirez went all in on Tuesday at Puerto Escondido although this time, the house won. (Though as evidenced at the end of the vid, he escaped relatively unscathed.)
In case you’ve been sorely out of the loop, Puerto’s been pumping for quite a while. Right now, there’s a series of swells set to hit the Mainland Mex sandbottom gladiator pit – the largest of which is slated to peak on Friday. It hasn’t been all-time although there have been some gems but there’s some guaranteed size (and more heroics, like the above from Ramirez) in store. According to Surfline’s Director of Forecasting, Kevin Wallis:

Puerto Escondido has been pumping on and off for what seems like a very long time now – and there’s a bigger swell on the way to finish off the week. And while Monday morning wasn’t crazy XXL or anything, it did offer up some solid, clean tubes for locals and visitors alike. Featured here are some of the best waves of the day, as ridden by Jojo Roper, Greg Long, Marcial Monreal and Kurt Rist. [Promo photo: Greg Long by Edwin Morales.]
