On arrival we were warmly welcomed by our second local family of Enielito Narvaez Mata with the news the waves had started pumping that same day and he said that tomorrow was supposed to be even bigger! I was so excited and pumped up! I hardly could sleep that night! We woke up the next morning at 5am for a dawn patrol with my friend Oscar, he has a small Boston Whaler with a 15 HP engine. Ricardo and I use it when we are there, it’s perfect because you can handle it by yourself, when the waves are too big you can beach the boat alone and have easy access to some point breaks with very shallow waters! So we took off from Gran Roque at low speed since the ocean was rough and started trolling to catch some fish for lunch and dinner. It took us about 20 minutes to get to Francis Key, a bit slow, but we would have fresh fish to feast on, so it was so worth it! We usually catch around ten small tuna’s called Trompe Hierro. When we made it closer to the island, the sun started to just peek out and we were able to see the waves! The swell was on fire and the entire reef was covered with white water from the Point to the Gran Roque (Main Island). The Swell angle was perfectly north, 1.5 meters with a 15-16 period swell with the tide rising from low to high. The wind was side off shore around 14 knots; what an amazing welcome from Los Roques!
