AREA REPORTS
NICOYA (N)
1) From Diana at Robert August Surf Shop in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y
condiciones:
Summer mornings and winter afternoons have made for small
off-shore sessions early in the day if you like to
longboard. Waves are tiny: maybe waist or chest high if
you're lucky. Mananas de verano y tardes de invierno nos
han traido sessiones pequenas off-shore temprano en el dia
para los que les gusta el longboard. Las olas son
chiquitas: con suerte a la cintura o el pecho.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a
pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas):
More of the same! The afternoon low tides mean that in
Tamarindo the time to surf is morning. If we get rainy
mornings this weekend, fix your board or learn to sew...
Mas de lo mismo! Las tardes de marea baja hacen que en
Tamarindo la hora para surfear es en la manana. Si nos toca
mananas lloviosas este fin de semana, arregle su tabla o
aprenda cocer...
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor
lugar a surfear este fin de semana en su area:
My fingers are crossed for Langosta, an incoming mid-tide
break that should be prime although small) for dawn patrol.
Cruzo mis dedos para Langosta, un break de marea entrante
de media-marea que deberia de ser en su punto (aun pequeno)
al amanecer.
NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS- Noticias y dias especiales:

2) From Steve at Tropico Latino Lodge in Santa Teresa -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS:
Lots of rain this week; however weather has been improving
since yesterday evening though surf is still untidy with
early onshores. Not much swell around either with sets a
mushy chest high.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND:
Not much swell, but hopefully cleaner conditions.
BEST PLACE TO SURF:
Playa Carmen usually works best in small conditions on the
incoming tide; pack a longboard.

3)Tommy at Fuego del Sol in Playa Hermosa -

AREA REPORTS
NICOYA (N)
1) From Louis at Hotel Las Tortugas in Playa Grande-
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas
y condiciones:
The swell arrived here earlier than expected, and 6-8
foot faces have been rolling into Playa Grande for the
past two days. Since the swell is still growing, it's
a little bumpy and unpredictable right now, but it
will clean up over the next couple of days.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que
va a pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas):
The waves will clean up as the swell becomes more
organized. It should be big and clean. Look for
overhead sessions in the morning--the tide will be
high and the wind will be offshore. It could get
really, really good.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El
mejor lugar a surfear este fin de semana en su area:
Now that we have a good, strong swell, good spots
stretch all up and down the beach. The Main Peak is
where the biggest waves can be found, but slightly
smaller, but still sizable, waves abound to the north
and south. Find your own peak and have fun!

pero tenemos un buen marea paor aqui , vamos a
surfear!
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que
va a pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas):
Parece que las olas estan creciendo y telvais va a
mejorar hoy por lo menos va estar mas limpio! Seems
like the waves are coming up a bit more today and hope
it will clean up as well !
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El

3)Tommy at Fuego del Sol in Playa Hermosa -
The waves are bigger today and out of the south. There

but alot of closeouts. We surfed further in the bay,

tide is around 9:00AM this morning. Esterillos will
have some good bowls, too, this morning for the high
tide. Our in house pros are Dennis Christopher and
