Tropical Conditions:

tropical season will start again in June

Swell Forecast: 

SW (210-220) swell should be peaking right now with periods around 15 seconds.  There are probably going to be some longer waits for the bigger sets, but it looks like we should see some moderate sized surf at the better exposures.  If you're not seeing those bigger sets there should still be some smaller 10-second south making keeping things surfable.  Neither swell is very big, but the combination of the two could really help stand out breaks see a little more size and shape.
Wave heights start to slowly back down over the weekend, but over the past couple days there has been a small system to the SSW (200-210) developing a little fetch that could generate another small swell for early next week.  The storm looks small, and resulting swell is another one of these 2-2.5 footers we've been seeing lately.  It could still be enough to send some more waist to shoulder high waves for early to mid-next week though.
Further out, the short-range models show a couple of small zonal systems sneaking around New Zealand.  The first SW (210-220) would arrive on the 22nd, with 15 second periods and smaller surf.  The second, looks like it could be more of a traveling fetch, with the winds blowing over the swell as it moves E-NE.  The fetch looks a broader and could generate seas in the 30-35 foot range over the weekend.  This second larger swell could be good for more consistent moderate sized surf building for around the 23rd.  Every model run is looking better for this second system and we could see a decent pulse of swell right before Christmas (fingers crossed).
Beyond that, the mid-range models show some more energy boiling up off the coast of Chile early next week, capable of generating some swell from the S (175-180).  This one isn't looking very big though due to a mostly zonal trajectory of the storm sending most of the swell right into Chile instead of up towards CAM and MM.  This guy although far out on the models is also much closer in proximity and the resulting swell would be arriving around the 21st/22nd as well.

Weekly Outlook:

Today (Friday the 14th) we see the peak of the swell with standouts showing waist to head high surf.  Some of the best exposures could still see one inconsistent overhead sets if they are lucky.

Saturday the 15th the SW swell starts to back off with most places seeing waist to shoulder high waves.

Sunday the 16th and other day of dropping swell with typical spots in the knee to chest high range.

Monday the 17th small leftovers continue with top spots in the knee to waist high range and occasional chest high sets.

Tuesday the 18th a new pulse of 16 to 17-second SSW (200-210) starts to build up through the region.  Size won't be anything special through the day, but there could be more consistent waist to chest high waves at the better exposures.

Wednesday the 19th the SSW continues to peak with wave heights in the waist to chest high range, maybe a few head high to overhead sets here and there at the best breaks. 

Thursday the 20th wave heights start backing down from the SSW swell as periods drop to 13 seconds.  The swell looks less consistent, but there could be a little NW (~300) filling in with 18-seconds at the better exposures that can work those NPac swells.  Size looks pretty small, but the background energy could help add a little shape to the leftovers.

Beyond that, long-range models have a couple swells on the way for the days leading up to Christmas.

That's it for today, be safe and get in the water!

Hiding in Puerto Escondido

4DEC

Just the time to get a shower, pack (again) and we jumped on a taxi directed to the area of Zicatela looking for a new accommodation.
That morning I met Giorgio for breakfast, he helped me to take a look around and find a place to stay while Soo as usual was looking after the backpacks sipping a nice coffee at Cafecito. We have different roles in this trip and this is actually one of my duties. We are a good, equilibrated team.
Apparently in November Puerto Escondido is quite full of events and it gets very busy, with few available accommodations. That week was time for surfers and fishing championships, two of the many tourist attractions.
We saw few options, some were really crumbling but we finally found a nice available cabana for me and Soo at “Rockaway Hotel” just in front of the beach. We didn’t want more than that: a cozy, clean dark wooden cabana with barely any cement, all around a swimming pool and a little bar with thatched roof.

Puerto Escondido in English means “hidden port”, the legend says that a young woman escaped her pirates’ captors and hid there. She jumped overboard the ship to get to shore and hide in the jungle just beyond the beach.
Since then, the pirates referred to the woman as “La Escondida” (the hidden one) and every time the ship returned to these waters, the captain ordered his crew to search and area around the bay, however, they never found her. Hence, the area became known as the Bahia de la Escondida.
Tourism in Puerto began to flourish in the 1960s when mostly surfers from different parts of the lobe began to appreciate the beautiful Oaxaca coast; and I know why: this place has an average annual temperature of 28°C, nice beaches, bars and hotels, as well as a big variety of cafes, restaurants, nightclubs, craft shops, Internet cafes and scuba diving rental spread out through the long promenade.
Nevertheless, Puerto Escondido tourism is not as much exploited as Acapulco for example, due to the fact that bus rides from the Oaxaca capital take seven hours over windy turns as the roads descend the Sierra del Sur mountain range. I did it during the night and it was not the best experience ever. Furthermore, there is no direct flight from abroad but only domestic flights.

Sunset in Puerto is always breathtaking from wherever along the promenade. I had promised Giorgio I would go and watch him surfing in the afternoon and afterwards we would enjoy the sunset together.

And so it was, me and Soo went to the beach and relaxed until he would come out of the water and greet us with his usual charming and big smile. Soo and I agreed that with those blond curly hair and blue eyes he just looked like a little angel!
The three of us laid on the sand for a while taking a look at the people staring at the sunset taking romantic or funny pictures, while we were talking about our next travel plans, our life when not travelling , especially Giorgio’s exciting job on yachts in every part of the globe’s waters, our common love for Ibiza etc.
I was having a nice time but I also felt the need to go and write for my blog at Casa Babylon.
I ordered the usual ginger tea and spent few hours on my own very focused on my stories to tell.

I was surrounded by books, Mexican masks and inebriated by fresh tea smell.

I couldn’t desire more, I was enjoying my solitude a lot, and I was so lost in my thoughts when l I felt my arms shaken and turning on the right I saw that tall and tanned young boy of that previous night who had came there at the Babylon to say hi.
I shifted from sipping a lovely tea to taste a Corona. we had a few ones, talking about many things, especially our common love for Stockholm and Swedish culture in general. He had been there six months for study, and I have been there few times and consider it as one of my favorite cities in Europe.
I am glad that Soo knew were exactly to find me in case we got lost: while getting my cheeks red on few of Tarik s wisecracks I saw my lovely travel mate with her usual glasses and funny smile entering from the main Casa Babylon door.

After few minutes also Tarik’s friend Victor joined us and we kept drinking few beers and before going to a reggae party on the beach we stopped at the usual taco place few blocks away.

The party was just on the beach, a big bar with thatched hut, very exotic, I really liked the venue but that music after 20 minutes bored me, plus the barman were so slow… it took 20 minutes to prepare my favorite drink: mojito de tequila.

Fructas y verduras is not just a sort of food in Puerto Escondido. The beach there is very appealing for surf lovers. I got a ride back to the hostel. Ya tienes casa en el D.F. or “ya nos veremos en London” were the last words before to slam the door.

You never know whenever those are circumstantial sentences or if you will ever see that person again in life.

I am normally quite good in keeping in touch with people; last year I met again a Turkish couple I had met with Giuliano in Capri ten years before, and two years ago I went to visit to Stockholm one of the girls I use to hang out with in Barcelona when I studied there in 2003.
I like to take a little bit of every single person I meet, and each of them in this trip or in life in general has brought something awesome to me.
The sun was burning, that morning I found Soo at the usual Cafecito having breakfast so we went straight to a beautiful small beach called Carrizalillo: white sand and cobalt blue, calm waters on a small bay; There are no vehicular roads to this beach, and the footpath descends a steep slope; you might find it not too good to walk up the stairs on the way back, but the positive thing is that the difficult access reduces the numerous / annoying beach vendors you might find in other beaches. While relaxing in carrizalillo with your eyes shut and trying to get a nap you will be often surprised by sporty locals who want to convince you to try to surf: even though I find it a super cool sport I don’t feel minimally attracted to try it.

So far I enjoyed just swimming and lying on the sand letting the sun kiss me while I listen to my favorite music.
On the way back we stopped at Playa Marinero and enjoyed a nice sunset while walking to the hostel.

We chilled out at the cabana until Giorgio and David came to pick us up there and went to a lovely Italian restaurant called Bananas, where the chef is a nice and funny guy from Sardinia.
Apparently there is an increasing immigration from my citizens to Puerto Escondido as well. I don’t normally like to order Italian food abroad, but his vegetarian lasagna was awesome, as well as the salad he prepared just for me with a homemade tasty and juicy burger.

We went to Oxxo for cigarettes and I found out they still sell Cremino , one of my favorite chocolates when I was a baby; I think I have not seen them at least for the past 15 years and it was nice to try again that childhood flavor so far away from the place I grow up.
Soo and I decided to spend our (supposed) last night in Puerto Escondido by going early to bed and relax. I wrote quite a lot as well.
We woke up well rested, packed our things and left our backpacks at the reception while we would go for a (last) swim. I lied nearly all day on a white sun bed at Kabbalah bar while enjoying nice chill music, fresh fruit and juices. Afterwards I decided to go and try Fish tacos, one of the most popular and fancy taquerias in the area, I ordered a chicken and avocado one and I found it amazing.
When I went to collect my backpack at the reception I bumped in a funny Australian guy who was just arriving instead; maybe I was not really happy to leave this place, but afterwards I discovered that he would have not let me do it. It was not difficult for him to persuade Soo as well to stay, and so it was, again changing our plans last minute. We went to our agency to change our bus tickets. Andrew is a surf fanatic from Sidney, travelling Mexico with his Hawaiian friend Maika and an occasional travel mate from Ireland met on the road.
We had few drinks at the hotel and spent a lovely night with Bag Raiders as a soundtrack. I didn’t know that band was actually Australian until then.
I had many difficulties to understand his accent, and I felt lost in translation when, while talking about his love for wine he suddenly exclaimed: I love cokkein. I don’t know why but to my hear in that bizarre Australian accent sounded exactly like ” I love cocaine”
It took me at least a minute to me and 4 times to him to feel glad I had not been persuaded by staying one more night in Puerto Escondido for a guy who would tell loud and enthusiastic to a stranger about his love for cooking delicious meals instead of drugs.

We would spend the following day all together and enjoying the last sunset on the beach, where the only view interruptions where from other surfers with their table ending their sporty day and from few horses galloping in the shore.
That night I farewell my lovely travels mate Soo after about two weeks heading to San Cristobal while she would go back to Oaxaca capital.

A Candle For The Kids. God Bless.

The Bacaanda Foundation is a small organization that works with indigenous Zapotec people from villages in the mountains above Huatulco. The Foundation has established two dental clinics, turned them over to the villages, and continues to support them with dental equipment and supplies. Bacaanda also provides youth development activities for village children, and educational activities through the local schools. Currently, the Foundation is working on economic development with a women’s sewing cooperative. For more information, see www.bacaandafoundation.org (web site is available but currently being updated).

You can deliver whatever you might be able to contribute—and visit the Foundation offices and shop—by going to the Centro Comercial in Punta Tangolunda (where the Tipsy Blowfish used to be). There you can see Bacaanda’s latest project: village artisans use natural materials gathered by mountain villagers to create animal sculptures for Noah’s Ark. This is a fundraising project—more information coming in the January 2013 issue of Huatulco Eye (http://www.huatulcoeye.com/)

If you're traveling to Huatulco, please consider bringing some of the items on their wish list:

FOR THE SEWING COOP
• Fabrics suitable for clothing
• Sewing supplies (thread, scissors, pins/needles, etc.)
• Reading glasses to help seamstresses with fine handwork
FOR THE ART/CRAFT WORKSHOP
• Art and craft supplies (acrylic paint, brushes, glues, large sheets of colored poster paper)
• Small power tools for handwork (Dremel-type saws, drills, shapers)
FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH
• School supplies (pens, pencils, notebooks, binders)
• Books in Spanish (all reading levels, but particularly upper elementary and middle school levels)
• Educational games (especially those that involve strategy, memory, math or language skills—Guess Who?, chess, checkers, Memory, Quarto or Apples to Apples (Spanish edition).
• Toothbrushes and toothpaste
• Bathing suits, new or gently used, all sizes (despite living less than 30 miles from the shore, many of the children have never been in the ocean and must swim in their clothes when they visit(
• Durable flip-flops/sandals for the children who come to us with no shoes.
• Basketballs (the one sports facility in some towns is a basketball court, but it's not much good without basketballs!)
• Soccer uniforms/supplies, new or gently used (all sizes, particularly in black; cleats in sizes 5-8 are particularly useful; any size shin guards)

I would think that we could purchase a lot of these things right in Huatulco and that way could help the local economy and the foundation

I am so excited to hear that the cooperative is setting up shop at the old "Tipsy Blowfish" location! Every year I pack extras to bring. I meet wonderful local people everywhere that touch my heart. Many work very hard to carve out a living and everyone has families. My offerings of clothing for the children are always met with gratitude. It takes so little to make a difference to someone who could use a teeny-tiny break.

I will gladly be adding extras to my list this year. If this is your first trip to Huatulco and you are staying at Dreams, Barcelo, Las Brisas or Quinta Real you are within a two minute walk from this little strip mall. Trust me, you will be walking there often! It has shops, restaurants, excursions and now a cooperative. This sounds like a wonderful opportunity to give to a community that will touch your heart and memories.

Please think about packing a wee extra... or two:)
