Two months of not-a-whole-lot quickly turned around into two weeks of giant beachbreak. After early August's bombing swell, those chargers stationed at Playa Zicatela - both local and visitors - got a second helping of some serious South Pacific juice.

"I thought the swell was gonna be smaller than the last one but I was fully surprised on Wednesday morning when it was already 10-foot," Puerto resident photographer Edwin Morales admitted. "Right then, we knew the bombs were on their way. The level of performance was crazy during the first swell, but this last one was ever crazier."

And just like that a slew of Wave of the Summer entries washed in. Enjoy the highlights.
