Friday, June 8, 2001 2PM
Good Morning, We have conditions out of the South/SW 180-200. It's definately smaller today with 2-4 feet from the back of the wave. Hermosa is still overhead, but there aren´t as many sets as yesterday. High tide is around 4:30PM. The good spots are Bejuco and Tulin on the low tide (10:15AM). Boca Barranca was overhead yesterday and would probably be a good call for the morning, if you don´t mind the crowd from the longboard contest. Also, upper Hermosa from Fuego's rock down to Terrazzas and out front of the Brisa Del Mar on a higher tide (Jaco and Esterillos also are good calls for high tide). Our in house pros are Lost & Dragon's own Brad Hersch and Tobit McLean. They will be starting their summer surf clinics so, call Tobit for details and info 506 643 2078 or e-mail him at "brisadelmar@fuegodelsol.com". Pick up useful techniques, the latest equipment, boards and critique yourself on video and improve your surfing. Our All Girl Camp Surf Pro's Schedules are still pending contests and dates, so, stay tuned for Girl Camp Schedules. Enjoy the New Live Cam and our new Live "How's the Surf, Really?" Surf and Costa Rica Live Info Chat Talk to a Real Surfer here on the Beach (Our Office is Literally a Stones Throw from Our Surf Break We can tell you current Conditions and crowds by looking out the window). Real info provided by Real People, Here, not, there. First in info, first in the water, that's what happens when you wake up on the beach everybody else drives to.
