Beginning in Quepos at Damas, this point is where the river mouth and the ocean meet forming large tubes with lefts and rights. From Quepos, a short ten minute drive to playa Manuel Antonio is the next great spot for surf. located next to the famous Manuel Antonio National Park, travel to the far north end of Playa Manuel Antonio to Playitas. Consistent lefts and rights with good shape and size when the tide is high. Playa el ray, 25 minutes south of Quepos is the perfect tropical getaway, with no accommodations other than the typical Strong lefts and rights that hold for what seems like forever are native to Playa el Rey.

(2) From Loius at Las Tortugas at Playa Grande - AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS: The offshores are here and the sandbars are improving. We had excellent 4-5 surf here on Sat and Sun. The swellisflat right now, but with these winds expect excellent surf at the first sign of a swell. WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves): Should be good if the swell arrives. The high tide is in the morning so conditions are optimum. BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA: The area in front of the hotel for a small swell and Chicken head rock if it picks up.
(3) From Hotel Café de Paris in Nosara- AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS: 3 - 4 feet very windy. not very nice to surf ,small and messy WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves): It has been 2 days like this. Usually it's only windy for 3 days, so I guess it will be like this one more day. BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA: Ostional must be better.
(3) From Steve at Tropicos Latinos in Santa Teresa (next to Mal Pais) - LOCAL WAVE HEIGHTS & CONDITIONS As flat as it gets here. Swell has dropped steadily all week and is now waist high only. Summer is definitely here, blue skies, blue water and a bit of offshore in the a.m. WHAT TO EXPECT THIS W/E Hope for surf to pick up a bit over the weekend and fun conditions at the beachbreaks - it doesn't usually stay this flat for long BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND The Rancho & Sta Teresa will pick up the best of whatever swell there is.
JACO & HERMOSA (JH)
See National Report
QUEPOS & MANUEL ANTONIO (QMA)
(5) From Alacran Tours in Manuel Antonio - AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS: Surf was stronger at the end of last week with good sessions in the late afternoon and early morning, particualry Wednesday and Thursday with overhead sets on Friday. Dominishing swell on Sunday onward throught this entire week with most sets getting no bigger than waist high. WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves): This weekend we are hoping for an increased swell, but aren't expecting much other than waist high waves. The weather on the other hand has been excellent with summer fully on the way, forecasting for sunny skies through the weekend! BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA: The best place to surf this weekend will probably be down south at Playa el Rey or in Playitas for the morning session. NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS: Now that the high season is here, we here at Alacran Surf Tours are offering private surf lessons and fully guided trips. For any people heading this way that are interested in such services we can be reached at 777-1721. Anybody looking for a new custom board? If so Tule is the man to see. He was the first shaper here in Costa Rica and only puts out high quality product. Have a great weekend and rip it up! (Surf report by local gringo ripper Jarred, aka Jota)
(6) From David at La Escuela D’Amore in Quepos - 1/Tamaño y consistencia de las olas esta semana en Playa Playitas, el tamaño aproximado es de 4 a 5 pies, de ola derecha con fuerza y veocidad que rompe irregularmente. Playa Espadilla, ha tenido un tamaño aproximado de 3 pies de olas tanto derechas como izqueirdas, con fueerza y no mucha velocidad. Que han estado rompiendo perfectamente y además de estar rompiendo bien, es el lugar donde más han asistido surfeadores desde el fin de semana pasado hasta hoy. 2/Las lluvias ya se están alejando de Costa Rica, así que es muy problable que par ael proximo fin de semana el sol salga. Con respecto a las olas no vemos ninguana característica que nos haga pensar que cambiaran, es seguro que van ha estar igual de buenas como hasta el momento. 3/Esta vez recomendaremos playa ESpadilla, ya que a esta playa es adonde han estado asistiendo la mayor cantidad de surfeadores tanto profesionales como principiantes. Recuerden que al amejor playa de Manuel Antonio es Playa Playitas y que tiene olas fantásticas.
DOMINICAL & SOUTHERN PACIFIC (D)
(8) From Hotel Rio Lindo in Dominical - The waves here in Dominical have been small the last few days.(but the fishing has been good)Only 1-2 ft and glassy. Can still get a wave but best for the longboard. Its pretty much gonna stay the same for the next few days and probably the weekend tambien, Best place to surf is right out front on the beach break. Too small for the point. Ciao ROB

(5) From Alacran Tours in Manuel Antonio - AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS: Surf was stronger at the end of last week with good sessions in the late afternoon and early morning, particualry Wednesday and Thursday with overhead sets on Friday. Dominishing swell on Sunday onward throught this entire week with most sets getting no bigger than waist high. WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves): This weekend we are hoping for an increased swell, but aren't expecting much other than waist high waves. The weather on the other hand has been excellent with summer fully on the way, forecasting for sunny skies through the weekend! BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA: The best place to surf this weekend will probably be down south at Playa el Rey or in Playitas for the morning session. NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS: Now that the high season is here, we here at Alacran Surf Tours are offering private surf lessons and fully guided trips. For any people heading this way that are interested in such services we can be reached at 777-1721. Anybody looking for a new custom board? If so Tule is the man to see. He was the first shaper here in Costa Rica and only puts out high quality product. Have a great weekend and rip it up! (Surf report by local gringo ripper Jarred, aka Jota)
(6) From David at La Escuela D’Amore in Quepos - 1/Tamaño y consistencia de las olas esta semana en Playa Playitas, el tamaño aproximado es de 4 a 5 pies, de ola derecha con fuerza y veocidad que rompe irregularmente. Playa Espadilla, ha tenido un tamaño aproximado de 3 pies de olas tanto derechas como izqueirdas, con fueerza y no mucha velocidad. Que han estado rompiendo perfectamente y además de estar rompiendo bien, es el lugar donde más han asistido surfeadores desde el fin de semana pasado hasta hoy. 2/Las lluvias ya se están alejando de Costa Rica, así que es muy problable que par ael proximo fin de semana el sol salga. Con respecto a las olas no vemos ninguana característica que nos haga pensar que cambiaran, es seguro que van ha estar igual de buenas como hasta el momento. 3/Esta vez recomendaremos playa ESpadilla, ya que a esta playa es adonde han estado asistiendo la mayor cantidad de surfeadores tanto profesionales como principiantes. Recuerden que al amejor playa de Manuel Antonio es Playa Playitas y que tiene olas fantásticas.
DOMINICAL & SOUTHERN PACIFIC (D)
(8) From Hotel Rio Lindo in Dominical - The waves here in Dominical have been small the last few days.(but the fishing has been good)Only 1-2 ft and glassy. Can still get a wave but best for the longboard. Its pretty much gonna stay the same for the next few days and probably the weekend tambien, Best place to surf is right out front on the beach break. Too small for the point. Ciao ROB

11-5-98
TIDES (add an hour each day)
Low tide for Friday - 10:02; High tide - 4:14
DOMINICAL
The highest tide of the year (308 cm.) occurs this Friday. A west-southwest swell pushes in overhead surf throughout the weekend. Next week a bigger SW swell stays well off the coast, but keeps the waves coming. Offshore winds every morning, unless it's raining.
PLAYA JACO & HERMOSA
The Rover Cam, courtesy of Loma del Mar surf camp , showed head high to overhead waves at "The Tree". Glassy until noon.
NICOYA PENINSULA
From Patti at The Monkey Bar & Best Western - Vista Villas Tamarindo (653-0114): "A slight indication of a south swell showing in Tamarindo. Wave height is waist to head high but the conditions are choppy. Wind direction in the morning is running light offshore but turning early to onshore conditions. Wind speed 10-15 and causing side winds on southern exposed beaches. Avellanas - road conditions are rough-should improve by Thursday and may be a place to watch for surf Friday. Playa Grande blown out. If the south comes in Grande should be good later in the week. Playa Negra only accessible via Santa Cruz-conditions choppy and wind-blown. No boats running to Ollies' or Witch's. If the south comes in, conditions maybe good for Friday or Saturday. High tides +9 making a quick turn in tides."

Alberto Clarkson at the Iguana Grill in Tamarindo (#653-0148) reported waves 2-3 in front. He surfed big Langosta over the weekend with 3 meter sets. He expects Witches' Rock to be bigger as the swell has moved north.

Cecilia Lutz at Hotel Karahe (#777-0170) emailed this message: Nice and sunny mornings, heavy showers late in the afternoon. Ocean nice and calm in the mornings, in the afternoon choppy seas. Waves small to moderate. We expect this type of weather all through the month of October.
CARIBBEAN
Quoted from Mel Baker at ATEC in Limon:
"At Salsa Brava they report decent waves at about 3.5 ft. At Beach Break about 4'. There could be a tendency to level off again so it may or may not maintain. My observation: it looks pretty choppy. The afternoons usually have a lot of wind. At this time there are occasional showers often squall-like. The hurricane (Georges) did not contribute greatly to any change in the waves The weather for carnival in Limon will probably be alternate sun and rain as it does in other years. The tides hardly vary on the atlantic side, a foot or so difference between low and high."

Alberto Clarkson a Iguana Grill in Tamarindo (#653-0148) conto olas 2-3 pies en frente de la tienda. Surfeo Langosta grande en sabado con "sets" de tres metros. Cree que Roca Bruja sera mas grande, porque el "swell" esta moviendo al norte.

Cecilia Lutz a Hotel Karahe (#777-0170) mando este mesaje: "Tranquilo mananas con mucho sol y olas suaves, aguacero recio en la tarde con olas agitadas. Olas pequenas a moderadas. Esperamos este estilo de tiempo en todos de Octobre.

Cito a Mel Baker a ATEC in Limon: "A Salsa Brava dieron cuenta de olas buenas a sobre 3,5 pies. A la playa sobre 4 pies. Posible las olas mantendran. Mi observacion: las olas aparecen agitadas. Muchas tardes tienen vientos fuertes. A este tiempo hay lluvias, como chubascos. La huracan (Georges) no contribuyo mucho a cambias a las olas. El tiempo por Carnival en Limon probablemente sera ambos sol y lluvia como otros anos. Las mareas no cambian muchas, solo un pie diferencia entre marea baja y alta.

Costa Rica's Weekly Surf Report for 9-20-98
There is a category 5 Hurricane Georges that is now just east of Puerto Rico. It is expected to turn slowly to the northwest, but should give Salva Brava and other Caribbean spots some good waves.
Costa Rica's Weekly Surf Report for 9-16-98

Costa Rica's Weekly Surf Report for 9-2-98
Here the waves were overhead and glassy for most of the day on the weekend. I am expecting to see a sizable swell develop for your nexk of the woods by Sept. 2-3 and last for a few days. It might reach here, but the models were lit up for north CR, double overhead for most of the coast.

Costa Rica's Weekly Surf Report for 8-17-98
Here the waves have gotten smaller as well, today only about head and onshore by 10 a.m. I checked the models and we might get a little someting from south of da border by Friday. Also it looks like waves in the Gulf of Mexico (a hurricane formation, no se) and I'll keep my eyes peeled.
