NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - The SW swell finally showed this afternoon and
will only increase through the weekend and into next week.
Expect surf in the head high to overhead range for Friday
and Saturday, then Sunday it will get a little bigger, will
be 2 foot overhead by Monday on the sets. Swell shifts to
the south for the midweek with hightides at sunrise and
sunset, making for double sessions at the beachbreaks.
Caribbean - Saturday will be blessed with a nice head high
East swell from a passing local system. Surf should drop
slowly on Sunday and by Monday be back in the waist to
chest high range. By midweek, surf gets even smaller with
some knee to waist high waves. You'll need to sneak to that
hidden beachbreak to get some chest high sets that come
through every 15 minutes.

AREA REPORTS
NICOYA (N)
** From Diana at Robert August Surf Shop in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y
condiciones:
The surf has picked up a bit this week. Some afternoon wind
has been on shore, but not all. The river mouth has had a
wave since Tuesday and even Pico Pequeno is breaking around
waist high. Langosta is reported to have been going off
south of the estuary. El surf se ha mejorado en esta
semana. En algunas tardes el viento ha sido on shore, pero
no todas. La boca del rio ha tenido una ola desde el martes
y hasta Pico Pequeno tiene olas como a la cintura. Se dicen
que Langosta fue buenisima al sur del estero.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a
pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas):
This should be a beautiful weekend for dawn patrol. The off
shore wind and high outgoing tide at first light will be
worth getting up for. I expect waist high waves, maybe
chest at best. Este debe ser un buen fin de semana para
surfear al amanacer. El viento off shore y la marea alta
bajando valdran la pena de levantarse. Espero olas a la
cintura, a lo mejor al pecho.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor
lugar a surfear este fin de semana en su area:
It sounds like Langosta is the place to be, or take a walk
to Playa Grande or points along the way. Parece que
Langosta es donde hay que ir, o caminar a Playa Grande o
puntos por la playa.

AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y

It's been about chest to shoulder high all week. The
offshore winds have made for some fun conditions, and we've
had double-sessions due to the tides, so at least the
morning session promised still to light offshores. No
complaints, really! Fun to be had for those who hit it
right!
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a

Let's hope we get some swell.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor

Also, ChickenHead Rock has been fun the past week.

we're waiting. No hay mucho de que hablar en esta semana.
Hay un shore break pequeno al norte de la torre de

Don't see much new forcasted. This would be a great weekend
to teach your significant other to surf, or your kids or

buen moment para ensenar a surfear su novia/novio, sus
hijos o sus mascotas!
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor

AREA REPORTS
NICOYA (N)
** From Louis at Hotel Las Tortugas in Playa Grande:
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS -
Tamano de las olas y condiciones: Thursday was small, chest
high. It stayed glassy to light offshore all day until
around 5 pm when it turned side onshore. With the high tide
push, there were some head high sets. Fun, but very
crowded.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a
pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas):
More of the same, though the wind has been unpredictable.
Where's "little summer"????
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor

** From Joe at Witches Rock Surf Camp in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS -
Well, it hasn't been exactly firing this week, but you
can't complain with offshore winds from sun-up to sun-
down. Witch's and Ollie's both maxing out at shoulder high,
clean surf. Little barrels (bring your little friends)
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) -
We're hoping to see an increase in surf- which was supposed
to occur by today (thursday 7-11). If the satelite reports
are correct, we'll see the surf practically double in the
next 12 hours or so. I'm not holding my breath, just
hoping. Expecting. Really hoping.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA -
No matter what, Ollie's Point will always be the best wave
in our area. Its the best wave we've ever surfed, and even
if its only waist high, the wind is offshore and the waves
set up and break from take-off to the sand! so get out
