Pacific - Occasional overhead sets appear over the weekend, but the
main SW swell has passed and by next Monday and Tuesday, expect only
waist to chest high conditions. Wednesday looks better with a few
head high sets showing in the south and then the New Year brings fun
head high to overhead surf to the coast. It last only about 24 hours
so for the weekend, it's back to chest high. Go to the Caribbean!!
Caribbean - The weekend wave size will be only wiast to chest high,
but by Tuesday evening a ENE swell pushes in some head high surf and
by Wednesday afternoon should be 1-2 feet overhead. The best day will
be Friday, as 1-3 ft. overhead conditions can be found at la isla and
other reefs.

waist to chest high conditions. Wednesday looks better with a few
head high sets showing in the south and then the New Year brings fun
head high to overhead surf to the coast. It last only about 24 hours
so for the weekend, it's back to chest high. Go to the Caribbean!!
Caribbean - The weekend wave size will be only wiast to chest high,
but by Tuesday evening a ENE swell pushes in some head high surf and
by Wednesday afternoon should be 1-2 feet overhead. The best day will
be Friday, as 1-3 ft. overhead conditions can be found at la isla and
other reefs.

NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - The Guanacaste coast is the place to surf this week, as
offshore winds last longer each day and the swell is coming from the
NW. Best around Ollie's and Witches, while the rest of the coast
settles for waist to head high surf most of the week, with bigger
days on Wednesday and Friday. The next weekend looks like head high
conditions and clean, with a double session at the beach breaks due
to an early high tide.
Caribbean - The beaches will be hit or miss for the rest of the
weekend and throughout the week. An ENE swell currently sending in
waist to chest highwaves peaks Monday with some head high sets and
backs off by Tuesday, leaving it only knee high with some bigger
sets. Another ENE fills in Wednesday, but doesn't make it all the way
in, so only a few chest high sets will be seen until the next
weekend. Some spots that jut further out may pick up the swell
better. Try an island or reef.

AREA REPORTS
NICOYA (N)
** From Diana, the best surf instructor in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
The week started out with a strong north swell that brought head high
waves to Tamarindo. The rights were rolling but the current had us
all on a train to Langosta. Since that swell passed, we seem to have
waves every other day--not sure what that's all about. Winds have
been off shore sometimes all day, sometimes just ing the morning.
This is the first week of no rain. La semana empezo con un buen swell
de norte que trajo olas de a la cabeza a Tamarindo. Tiraba lindas
derechas, pero el corriente fue como montarse en un tren hacia Playa
Langosta. Desde que paso este swell, hemos tenido olas dia por
medio--no se que sera eso. Los vientos han sido off-shore aveces todo
el dia, aveces solamente en las mananas. Esta es la primera semana
sin lluvia.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este
fin de semana (clima y olas): With this every-other-day pattern,
Saturday should be the pick! I expect off-shores in the morning but
won't count on them in the afternoon as the tide fills in. Sunset
sessions should be the best. Con esto de dia por medio, digo que el
sabado sera buen dia para surfear. Espero vientos off-shore en las
mananas pero no contare con ellos para las tardes cuando la marea se
suba. Los atardeceres seran los mejores tiempos para surfear.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: The beach break in Langosta is
good right now if you know the spot to be. Henry's is even breaking,
but look out for the rocks! La playa en Langosta esta buena ahora si
sabe en que punto estar. Hasta Henry's esta tirando olas pero cuidado
con las piedras!
** From Denis at Hightide Surf Shop in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
3 a 4 pies, lo mejor con marea subiendo, con vientos que cambian
rapidos de on a off shore
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este
fin de semana (clima y olas): Esperamos un buen oleaje, un poco
revuelto y con posibilidad de vientos offshore del verano.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: En la misma Playa Tamarindo
estuve muy lindo estas dias, Grande Tambien pero con mucha gente en
el agua. Avellanas y negra para evitar demasiado gente tienen que
quebrar lindo tambien.
** From Carlos at Roca Bruja Surf Tours in Coco -
Reporte de olas en Roca bruja y Ollies point- Roca bruja las olas
estan entre 4 a 6 ft el viento muy bueno. Ollies point- las olas
estan entre 2 a 3 ft pequeño debido a la direccion del swell

AREA REPORTS
NICOYA (N)
** From Diana, the best surf instructor in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
The week started out with a strong north swell that brought head high
waves to Tamarindo. The rights were rolling but the current had us
all on a train to Langosta. Since that swell passed, we seem to have
waves every other day--not sure what that's all about. Winds have
been off shore sometimes all day, sometimes just ing the morning.
This is the first week of no rain. La semana empezo con un buen swell
de norte que trajo olas de a la cabeza a Tamarindo. Tiraba lindas
derechas, pero el corriente fue como montarse en un tren hacia Playa
Langosta. Desde que paso este swell, hemos tenido olas dia por
medio--no se que sera eso. Los vientos han sido off-shore aveces todo
el dia, aveces solamente en las mananas. Esta es la primera semana
sin lluvia.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este
fin de semana (clima y olas): With this every-other-day pattern,
Saturday should be the pick! I expect off-shores in the morning but
won't count on them in the afternoon as the tide fills in. Sunset
sessions should be the best. Con esto de dia por medio, digo que el
sabado sera buen dia para surfear. Espero vientos off-shore en las
mananas pero no contare con ellos para las tardes cuando la marea se
suba. Los atardeceres seran los mejores tiempos para surfear.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: The beach break in Langosta is
good right now if you know the spot to be. Henry's is even breaking,
but look out for the rocks! La playa en Langosta esta buena ahora si
sabe en que punto estar. Hasta Henry's esta tirando olas pero cuidado
con las piedras!
** From Denis at Hightide Surf Shop in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
3 a 4 pies, lo mejor con marea subiendo, con vientos que cambian
rapidos de on a off shore
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este
fin de semana (clima y olas): Esperamos un buen oleaje, un poco
revuelto y con posibilidad de vientos offshore del verano.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: En la misma Playa Tamarindo
estuve muy lindo estas dias, Grande Tambien pero con mucha gente en
el agua. Avellanas y negra para evitar demasiado gente tienen que
quebrar lindo tambien.
** From Carlos at Roca Bruja Surf Tours in Coco -
Reporte de olas en Roca bruja y Ollies point- Roca bruja las olas
estan entre 4 a 6 ft el viento muy bueno. Ollies point- las olas
estan entre 2 a 3 ft pequeño debido a la direccion del swell
