Todd Cutter at Alacran Surf Tours 777-1868 reported - 1-2. Chance of afternoon showers, but I think summer has arrived! 3. best spots to look for this weekend are Playitas, Bajos(end of Manuel Antonio beach) Quepos. 4. Waist high - fun cruisers 5. glassy; little choppy in the tardes when the shore winds arrive 6. nada 7. There is going to be a huge festival at the end of this Feb. Berok and Alacran will be hosting a surf tournament at the same time.
From the Hotel California in Manuel Antonio (777-1062) Begin your trip in Manuel Antonio and Quepos, where the waves prove to be consistent and large when the swells come to this area. 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.

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.

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
