Full Moon - October 10th
Low Tide -(-.23) ft at 8:42 am
High Tide - 9.33 ft. at 2:56 pm
NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - The SSW swell has arrived bringing surf overhead to 2-3'
overhead on the sets by Sunday morning. Up north the surf will be a
foot smaller. The wave period lengthens to 13 seconds Monday and
Tuesday, and those days will be the best for a sunset session.
Wednesday the swell fades un poco down to head high, and by Thursday
afternoon, the overhead sets only appear every 15 to 20 minutes. Next
weekend looks small, chest high, and nothing hitting until the
following Wednesday from the SSW.
Caribbean - The flat spell is almost over. On Tuesday afternoon,
waves will increase from knee high to waist high with a few chest
high sets and Wednesday morning looks best for finding chest high
surf. Thursday the swell fades all day and by Friday it's back to
knee to waist. Be aware that conditions change dramatically with the
presence of tropical storms so watch for updates.

AREA REPORTS
NICOYA (N)
** From Diana, the PuraMar surf teacher in Tamarindo -
Wave heights and conditions: The swell that came in during the
weekend gave us about two days of excitement. Waves now range from
waist to shoulder high, coming in from the south/southwest. The on-
shore switch is coming pretty early in the mornings now. Afternoon
rains have been consistent and rather heavy for the last week,
cooling off the steamy afternoons and sometimes turning the wind
around. El swell que vino para el fin de semana trajo dos dias de
olas. Las olas ahora son de a la cintura de al hombro, llegando desde
el sur/suroeste. El viento viene on-shore temprano en la manana en
estos dias. Las lluvias de las tardes han sido consistentes y fuertes
en esta semana, refrescando las tardes calientisimas y aveces
cambiando el viento.
What to expect this weekend: This weekend, expect beautiful morning
and rainy afternoons. Getting up early will be the best stragegy for
getting good surf. Think twice about surfing too soon after heavy
rains, as this is a common cause of ear infections and other
unpleasantries. Este fin de semana espere mananas lindas y tardes
lloviosos. Levantanadose temprano sera la estrategia mejor para
encontrar buen surf. Pienselo bien para es a surfear muy pronto
despues de lluvias fuertes como esto es la causa de muchos
infecciones de los oidos y otros complicaciones.
Best place to surf this weekend: With the south/southwest pulse,
Avellanas should be good. There has been some road work, so it may
even be passable! The rivermouth in Tamarindo around mid-tide is
looking nice and of course as long as the waves come from the south,
Grande is a good choice. Con el swell de sur/suroeste, Avellanas debe
ser bueno. Han habido arreglos en la calle y tal vez se pueda
pasarse! La boca del rio en Tamarindo a la media marea se ve bien y
mientras hay olas desde el sur, Playa Grande siempre es buena.

AREA REPORTS
NICOYA (N)
** From Diana, the PuraMar surf teacher in Tamarindo -
WAVE SIZE/CONDITIONS: The swell we had going last week has passed and
the one rumored to be on the way has yet to arrive. The mornings have
been gorgeous and even off-shore, but the tide is out, so not much
surf in Tamarindo then. By the time it fills in, it's pretty sloppy
due to the wind change, but by sunset it's starting to mellow out and
a longboard and find some nice rides at the rivermouth. Wave size is
our average waist to chest. El swell que tuvimos la semana pasada ya
paso y el que se dice que viene no ha llegado todavia. Las mananas
estan lindisimas y hasta con viento off-shore pero la marea esta
bajisima y casi no hay olas a esa hora. A la hora que el mar se llene
ya las olas estan muy cerradas por el viento que se ha cambiado. Pero
los atardeceres no son tan malos porque el viento se tranquiliza un
poco y con un longboard se puede agarar unos rides bonitos en la boca
del rio.
WHAT TO EXEPECT THIS WEEKEND:Another south swell is rumored to be on
the way, and that could change everything for the weekend. Very very
early morning surf could come up and late afternoons will be as good
as the wind allows. Afternoon storm systems often switch the wind
back off-shore in their wake, so there's a lot to be hopeful about.
Otro swell del sur supuestamente viene y puede cambiarlo todo para el
fin de semana. Muy temprano en las mananas habra surf y las tardes
seran lo bueno que permita el viento. Muchas veces las tormentas de
las tardes cambian el viento off-shore cuando van pasando asi que hay
mucha esperanza para un buen fin de semana.
WHERE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND: The Tamarindo river mouth is looking
interesting these days. I would keep an eye on that. If the south
swell comes in without too much south wind, Grande would be the
definate pick. La boca de rio en Tamarindo se ve muy interesante en
estos dias. Yo recomindo que la ponga cuidado. Si llega el swell del
sur sin demasiado viento del sur, Playa Grande sera el mejor lugar
sin duda.

AREA REPORTS
NICOYA (N)
** From Diana, the PuraMar surf teacher in Tamarindo -
WAVE SIZE/CONDITIONS: The swell we had going last week has passed and
the one rumored to be on the way has yet to arrive. The mornings have
been gorgeous and even off-shore, but the tide is out, so not much
surf in Tamarindo then. By the time it fills in, it's pretty sloppy
due to the wind change, but by sunset it's starting to mellow out and
a longboard and find some nice rides at the rivermouth. Wave size is
our average waist to chest. El swell que tuvimos la semana pasada ya
paso y el que se dice que viene no ha llegado todavia. Las mananas
estan lindisimas y hasta con viento off-shore pero la marea esta
bajisima y casi no hay olas a esa hora. A la hora que el mar se llene
ya las olas estan muy cerradas por el viento que se ha cambiado. Pero
los atardeceres no son tan malos porque el viento se tranquiliza un
poco y con un longboard se puede agarar unos rides bonitos en la boca
del rio.
WHAT TO EXEPECT THIS WEEKEND:Another south swell is rumored to be on
the way, and that could change everything for the weekend. Very very
early morning surf could come up and late afternoons will be as good
as the wind allows. Afternoon storm systems often switch the wind
back off-shore in their wake, so there's a lot to be hopeful about.
Otro swell del sur supuestamente viene y puede cambiarlo todo para el
fin de semana. Muy temprano en las mananas habra surf y las tardes
seran lo bueno que permita el viento. Muchas veces las tormentas de
las tardes cambian el viento off-shore cuando van pasando asi que hay
mucha esperanza para un buen fin de semana.
WHERE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND: The Tamarindo river mouth is looking

(add 50 min. each day after)
Full Moon - September 10th
High Tide -8.24 ft. at 9:34 am
Low Tide - 1.31 ft at 3:55 pm
NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - For the weekend expect surf from chest high to head high
and most south facing beaches, with an overhead set popping up every
20 minutes from a fading S swell. Sunday afternoon it drops a foot,
and by Monday it's back to chest high at best, but super clean
conditions. The next swell is from the south, pushing waves up to a
foot overhead in the southern and central zones Tuesday afternoon,
and filling the rest of the coast by Wednesday. Size will vary on the
tide and day, from chest high to overhead until next weekend. No
macking swells, but clean consistent chest to head high surf for the
following week.
Caribbean - It's quiet on the beaches, only knee high with a few
waist high sets. Monday evening will show a one foot increase and
size, so surf will have one or two stomach high sets on Tuesday
morning, but it drops fast and stays small (knee high or less) until
next weekend. Some hope is on the horizon by the following Monday.

AREA REPORTS
NICOYA (N)
** From Diana, the PuraMar surf teacher in Tamarindo -
Waves and Conditions: There's a nice swell rolling right now. The
waves in Tamarindo are from waist to shoulder high and hold beatiful
shape even as the tide pulls back. Winds vary. Some days are off-
shore until mid morning, even longer sometimes. Afternoon rains have
brought the wind on shore every day, but we've got the ideal early-
morning high tides this week so there's plenty of fun to be had! Hay
un swell bonito ahorita. Las olas en Tamarindo estan de a la cintura
de al hombro y mantienen una forma bonita aun cuando baje la marea.
El viento es variable. Hay dias en que el viento esta off-shore hasta
las 10 en la manana, a veces hasta mas tarde. Las lluvias de la tarde
siempre traen el viento on-shore, peron con las mareas altas en las
mananas estas semana todo el mundo puede divertirse!
What to expect this weekend: Looks like a great weekend for morning
surf in Tamarindo. The tide will be coming in the mid-late morning
when the wind is good, so we'll be able to surf from sunup until the
wind switches. Sera un buen fin de semana para surfear in Tamarindo.
La marea estara alta en la media-manana cuando el viento esta bueno
asi que podramos surfear desde el amanecer hasta que cambie el viento.
Where to surf this weekend: The Tamarindo rivermouth should be a good
place in the mornings and I expect that Avellanas will be worth the
bumpy ride as well. La boca de rio en Tamarindo estara buena en las
mananas y creo que Avellanas valdra la pena del viaje algo duro.
** From Denis at High Tide Surf shop in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
El tamaño de las olas es de 5 a 6 pies, con lluvias y viento
desordenado un poco las olas
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este
fin de semana (clima y olas): No veo que tendriamos mucho cambio para
este fin de semana, esta asercandose un swell del sur alrededor del
miercoles y esperamos un poco mas tamaño.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA- El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: Playa Grande a la mañana
estuve divertido, las playas del sur seran mas constante como
Avellanas y Negra
NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS- Noticias y dias especiales: Hay una fiesta
rave en Huacas este sabado, de las 6 hasta las 6 con barra libre,
suena muy divertido, sponsorisado del Hotel Best Western y Hightide
Surfshop entre otros.
** From Marco at Tropico Latino Lodge in Santa Teresa-
El tamano de las olas aqui al frente del Tropico Latino es de 1.2
mtrs. Parece que el oleaje se acabo. El mejor punto para surfear es
Playa Carmen, en la manana. Saludos de parte de Marco.

QUEPOS & MANUEL ANTONIO
1- Tamaño y consitencia de las olas esta semana en: Playa Playitas:
Esta semana las olas han estado bastante buenas,
consistentes,limpias, un poco grandes, con dirección derecha y según
me dijeron algunos surfeadores el tamaño es de más o menos 7 pies en
marea alta. Esta playa es la que tiene las olas mas grandes de la
zona. Enfrente de Lobster: Durante la entrevista para el reporte, en
este lugar fue donde vi más surfeadores. La consistencia en esta
playa no es muy diferente a la de playa Playitas, sin embargo las
olas rompen en dirección tanto derecha como izquierda, las olas no
son grandes, todo lo contrareo son un poco pequenas, lo cual es bueno
para esas personas que desean aprender o perfeccionar este deporte,
el tamaño de las olas en esta playa es de mas o menos 4 pies en la
marea alta. Otros lugares buenos: Antes de llegar a la playa Playitas
hay un punto que también es muy reconocido por los surfeadores, sin
embargo no tengo mucha información con respecto a este lugar, pero
les asuguro que les voy a conseguir algo para el próximo reporte.
2- ¿Qué espéran el próximo fin de semana con respecto al tiempo y las
olas? El tiempo ha estado un poco dificil de predecir, no obstante
puedo decirles que habrá mucho sol, ya que si más no me equivoco
estamos en una epoca del año llamada "veranillo de San Juan", el cual
consisite en dos semanas de sol, más o menos. Si ustedes desean
disfrutar de buenas olas les recomendamos venir lo antes posible a
cualquiera de las playas del pacífico. Los surfeadores me informaron
de un fenómeno, por llamarlo de alguna forma,
llamado "swell"(marejada u oleaje) y eso significa que el surf va a
estar muy bueno esta semana.
3- ¿Cuál es el mejor lugar para surfear en su área? Creo que esto
depende de que tipo de surfeador es usted. Si Usted es un
principiante o tal vez tiene experiencia, pero no es del todo bueno,
entonces le recomendamos ir al Enfrente de Lobster. Ahora si usted es
una persona quien tiene mucha experiencia en este deporte le
recomendamos ir a la Playa Playitas, ya que ahí es donde se reunen
los mejores surfeadores del área. Sin embargo, aunque en todo este
lugar las olas no son
extremadamente grandes, casi todos los puntos tienen algo bueno para
cada persona.
4- Para el próxomo fin de semana las mareas altas van a estar de la
siguiente manera: Viernes 5 : 09:34 am y 10:19pm. Sábado 6: 10:48am y
11:34 pm. Domingo 7: 12:00 pm
DOMINICAL & OSA
**From Steph at green Iguana Surf Camp in Dominical -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
Waves are about 4 foot. Blowing hard offshore this morning. Around
high tide, winds died and there were nice glassy peaks. This evening,
low tide, there were some fun barrels.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - I think that the
size will stay the same for the next week. It should be fun when the
tide is coming in, as well as at low tide.

when the wind is good, so we'll be able to surf from sunup until the
wind switches. Sera un buen fin de semana para surfear in Tamarindo.
La marea estara alta en la media-manana cuando el viento esta bueno
asi que podramos surfear desde el amanecer hasta que cambie el viento.
Where to surf this weekend: The Tamarindo rivermouth should be a good
place in the mornings and I expect that Avellanas will be worth the
bumpy ride as well. La boca de rio en Tamarindo estara buena en las
mananas y creo que Avellanas valdra la pena del viaje algo duro.

QUEPOS & MANUEL ANTONIO
1- Tamaño y consitencia de las olas esta semana en: Playa Playitas:
Esta semana las olas han estado bastante buenas,
consistentes,limpias, un poco grandes, con dirección derecha y según
me dijeron algunos surfeadores el tamaño es de más o menos 7 pies en
marea alta. Esta playa es la que tiene las olas mas grandes de la
zona. Enfrente de Lobster: Durante la entrevista para el reporte, en
este lugar fue donde vi más surfeadores. La consistencia en esta
playa no es muy diferente a la de playa Playitas, sin embargo las
olas rompen en dirección tanto derecha como izquierda, las olas no
son grandes, todo lo contrareo son un poco pequenas, lo cual es bueno
para esas personas que desean aprender o perfeccionar este deporte,
el tamaño de las olas en esta playa es de mas o menos 4 pies en la
marea alta. Otros lugares buenos: Antes de llegar a la playa Playitas
hay un punto que también es muy reconocido por los surfeadores, sin
embargo no tengo mucha información con respecto a este lugar, pero
les asuguro que les voy a conseguir algo para el próximo reporte.
2- ¿Qué espéran el próximo fin de semana con respecto al tiempo y las
olas? El tiempo ha estado un poco dificil de predecir, no obstante
puedo decirles que habrá mucho sol, ya que si más no me equivoco
estamos en una epoca del año llamada "veranillo de San Juan", el cual
consisite en dos semanas de sol, más o menos. Si ustedes desean
disfrutar de buenas olas les recomendamos venir lo antes posible a
cualquiera de las playas del pacífico. Los surfeadores me informaron
de un fenómeno, por llamarlo de alguna forma,
llamado "swell"(marejada u oleaje) y eso significa que el surf va a
estar muy bueno esta semana.
3- ¿Cuál es el mejor lugar para surfear en su área? Creo que esto
depende de que tipo de surfeador es usted. Si Usted es un
principiante o tal vez tiene experiencia, pero no es del todo bueno,
entonces le recomendamos ir al Enfrente de Lobster. Ahora si usted es
una persona quien tiene mucha experiencia en este deporte le
recomendamos ir a la Playa Playitas, ya que ahí es donde se reunen
los mejores surfeadores del área. Sin embargo, aunque en todo este
lugar las olas no son
extremadamente grandes, casi todos los puntos tienen algo bueno para
cada persona.
4- Para el próxomo fin de semana las mareas altas van a estar de la
siguiente manera: Viernes 5 : 09:34 am y 10:19pm. Sábado 6: 10:48am y
11:34 pm. Domingo 7: 12:00 pm
DOMINICAL & OSA
**From Steph at green Iguana Surf Camp in Dominical -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
Waves are about 4 foot. Blowing hard offshore this morning. Around
high tide, winds died and there were nice glassy peaks. This evening,
low tide, there were some fun barrels.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - I think that the
size will stay the same for the next week. It should be fun when the
tide is coming in, as well as at low tide.
