for pics., forecast links, and tide charts.
Rabbit Kekai's TOES on the NOSE contest and Women's
Longboard Championships set for August 6-12 in Boca
Barranca!
Send me a note if you are interested in working on a Costa
Rican chapter of the Surfrider Foundation - Protecting the
World's Oceans, Waves, and Beaches. Next meeting in
Dominical - October 8th, 7p.m., at the panaderia!
TIDES *for Friday - add 50 min. each day after
Low Tide - .44 ft. at 8:57 AM
High Tide - 9.53 ft. at 3:13 PM
NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - Toes on the Nose finals should have plenty of
surf in the head high range, with bigger sets rollin in...
The SSW swell pumps 1 to 3 foot overhead surf in on Sunday
at the beachbreaks, cleanest at dawn patrol. Same
unfiltered swell keeps the masses happy with well overhead
surf until next Thursday, when some spots drop down to head
high. The trend will continue the following weekend, but
the next swell will not last as long nor have the same
strength.
Caribbean - The right coast is wrong. Go to the Pacific or
sit in knee to waist shorebreak while it's going off just 4
hours away. No swell expected all week and next weekend.

QUEPOS & MANUEL ANTONIO
** From David at Escuela D'Amore in Manuel Antonio -
1. Tamaño y consistencia de las olas esta semana en:
Playa Playitas( antes de la roca que está al norte del el
restaurante Mar y Sombra): Esta semana las olas han estado
un poco pequeñas, han sido consistentes, han estado
reventando tanto en dirección derecha como en dirección
izquierda y su tamaño aproximado es de 5 pies en marea
alta. La mayoría de los surfeadores que han estado
asistiendo a esta playa son muy expertos cxon las olas.
Playa Espadilla (El Bajo): Esta semana las olas han estado
muy agradables en esta playa, lo que quiero decir con ello
es que han tenido buena dirección , han sido consistentes,
han estado limpias y su tamaño aproximado es de más o menos
4,50 pies en marea alta. Los surfeadores que han estado
asistiendo a esta playa son tanto principiantes como
profesionales en el área del surfeo.
Enfrente de Lobster: En esta semana las olas han estado
pequeñas, limpias, un poco consistentes y su tamaño
aproximado es de más o menos 3 pies en marea alta.
Isla Damas: no tenemos información de esta playa, esta
semana.
2. ¿Qué esperan el próximo fin de semana con respecto al
tiempo y las olas?.
Si las cosas siguen como hasta el momento, lo cual es muy
seguro, es probable que para el próximo fin de semana haya
sol por las mañanas y llueva por las tardes. Con respecto a
las olas creemos que seguirán igual como han estado hasta
el momento.
3. ¿Cuál es el mejor lugar para surfear en su área el
próxompo fin de esmana?.
Si usted es una persona que no está muy diestra en la
disciplina del surfeo nosotros le recomendamos el área que
está enfrente del restaurantre Lobster. Sin embargo, si
usted es una persona hábil sobre una tabla de surf,
nosotros le recomendamos playa Playitas o el Bajo; ambos
lugares son muy buenos para surfear y la mayoría de las
personas que asisten a esta playa son buenpos con el surf.
