Protest Sparks Debate over Beach Camping by Steven J. Barry -
sbarry@.... What began as a trip to protest restricted
access to public beaches at the Papagayo Peninsula in northwestern
Guanacaste this week grew into a dicey debate about the legality of
camping at those beaches.
In other news, 'WE made it!': More than two dozen members of the
Sustainable Solutions Caravan traveled from San Francisco, Calif., to
San José, Costa Rica, on two old buses fueled by vegetable oil. The
group arrived here last Friday after a two-month excursion through
Mexico and Central America to tout the benefits of biodiesel. Tico

Tamarindo! 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.
Have a question? We have answers! Send a note to info@...
before your next trip to get the info on waves, boards, and places to
stay.
TIDES *for Friday
(add 50 min. each day after)
New Moon - January 21st
High Tide: 6.74 ft at 9:15 am
Low Tide- 2.5 ft at 3:06 pm
NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - Dropping W swell over the weekend, chest high with head
high sets Saturday, chest high at best Sunday at the beachbreaks.
Monday through Wednesday look worse, waist to chest high with a
bigger set every half hour. Very clean conditions. Long period NW
ground swell should give next weekend some head high sets, but it's a
long shot. (Take your chances on the Caribbean coast)
Caribbean - Fading ESE swell brings waist high surf to the
beachbreaks, chest high at the best spots for Saturday. By Sunday
even that disappears, leaving a knee high void until Tuesday midday
when another strong ESE shows up with some chest high sets by sunset.
Wednesday and Thursday it builds up to overhead, and will stay
overhead high going into the weekend.

AREA REPORTS
NICOYA (N)
** From Diana the best surf instructor in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
It's been an interesting week in Tamarindo. A nice little swell
rolled in over night, making beautiful shoulder high waves at the
river mouth this morning. The wind's been acting weird, sometimes on
shore, sometimes off. Not your characteristic January weather, but at
least the water stays reasonably warm that way. Ha sido una semana
muy interesante. Un bonito swell pequeno llego durante la noche,
trayendo lindas olas de al hombro esta manana en la boca del rio. El
viento esta lo mas raro--aveces on shore y aveces off. No es lo
normal para enero pero por lo menos el agua no se enfria tanto.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este
fin de semana (clima y olas): It's looking great for morning surf.
You can go from sun-up to lunch time if the wind doesn't turn on
shore and I don't know what to say about that. Very strange. Se ve
lindisimo para surfear en las mananas. Puedes ir desde el amanecer
hasta la hora del almuerzo si el viento no se cambia on shore y yo no
se que decir sobre eso.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: The river mouth is really
nice, the earlier the better avoids crowds. Langosta should be great
this weekend at sunrise while the incoming tide is still low. La boca
del rio esta muy bonito, entre mas temprano mejor para evitar mucha
gente. Langosta debe ser buenisima este fin de semana al amanecer
cuando la marea entrante este todavia baja.
** From Carlos at Roca Bruja Surf Tours in Playa de Coco-
Reporte de olas en la zona de witchs rock y ollies point- WITCHS
ROCK: las olas estan entre 4 a 7 ft muy bueno, el factor viento esta
en la mañana muy bueno despues de las 12:00pm cambia. OLLIES POINT:
las olas estan entre 4 a 6 ft muy bueno y perfecto, mientras no entre
el viento malo puedes disfrutar de buenas olas perfectas y largas.

** From Louis at Hotel Las Tortugas in Playa Grande:
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
Chest to occasionaly head high. Offshore winds until around midday.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este
fin de semana (clima y olas): The swell should continue to fade
through the weekend, but it should still offer plenty of fun chest to
head high waves. Long morning sessions.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: Main peak at Playa Grande and
all up and down the beach.
** From Coconut Harrys Surf Shop in Nosara -
It's head-high with some overhead set waves coming through. Surf
Contest at Playa Guiones this Saturday - starts 8:00 am. Weekend surf
looks to diminish a little. Hasta papayas, Coconut Harry
JACO & HERMOSA
(for daily reports, please check the Rovercam link at the bottom of

** From Chuck at Chosita del Surf in Jaco -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
2-4 ft with some clean stuff in the A.M. I bet Tulin was on fire
today with a bit west in the swell its the best around ! Clean again
this afternoon and hope it holds for while ! High tide mornings are
nice for sure! Instead of lugging your boards through airports, just
get one custom made and ready for you in Jaco for only $200 for 10
days with leash and board bag thrown in. You like it, you can buy it,
too.
** From Tommy at Rancho Coral in Esterillos -
Local Climate: Sunny Air Temp: 93F. Water Temp 85F Direction &
Height: South 4ft (from the back of the wave) Sea Surface: Glassy
Wind: Offshores 0-3 MPH Sunrise: 6:01 AM Sunset: 5:42 PM High Tide:

AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
Head high with occasional overhead at the point
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este
fin de semana (clima y olas): Same good clean lines. Dawn patrol is a
good low tide time to get out and have some fun.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: Try the point could be a great
place to start.
CARIBBEAN
** From Topo at the Magellin Inn in Playa Cocles -

New Moon - January 21st
Low Tide: (-.71) ft at 9:49 am
High Tide- 9.5 ft at 4:08 pm
NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - Strong tide shift with the new moon this weekend, combined
with some NW swell produces 1-2 foot overhead waves for most
consistent spots. Drops off to head high Sunday afternoon as the
swell passes offshore and doesn't strengthen until Wednesday morning,
building back to 1 foot overhead faces. Great 2-3 foot overhead set
waves stick around until Friday evening. Best dawn patrol - Wednesday
morning.
Caribbean - A short burst of NE swell pegs the coast Saturday with
overhead surf and then drops a foot by Sunday evening. Then another
swell from the ESE arrives on Tuesday at dawn pushing surf head high
and increases throughout the day. Look for 2+ overhead sets on Wed.
before it drops back to head high by Thursday and smaller going into
the weekend.

New Moon - January 21st
High Tide- 7.39 ft at 9:04 am
Low Tide: 1.21 ft at 3:02 pm
NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - A large fetch in the Nortern Pacific will keep the
Guanacaste coast fun with surf from chest to head high all weekend
and into Monday. Nice tides for a dawn patrol on Saturday or barrels
at low tide on Tuesday. Then on Tuesday it picks up a foot and by
Wednesday will see overhead surf along the entire coast from the WNW.
Avoid the beaches facing too far south.
Caribbean - For the Caribbean coast, dying swell on Saturday, waist
high with a few bigger sets. By Sunday it's gone until next
Wednesday, when a few more waist high + waves will be seen. Looks to
be the beginning of a new swell that will peak next weekend.

Langosta has been overhead, but super-slow take-offs. Great off-
shores and cool water. Despues de quince dias sin olas, hay buenas
olas ahora en la boca del rio--de a la cintura hasta del hombro.
Langosta esta sobre la cabeza pero muy muy despacio. Buenos vientos
off-shore y agua algo frio.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este
fin de semana (clima y olas): Hopefully the swell will stay around
for a few days. The winds are consistant and much more bearable in
the mornings. Looks like a great weekend to be right here! Esperamos

agradables en las mananas. Parece un buen fin de semana de estar aqui
mismo.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a

waves Sunday and Monday with the incoming tide. The southern
beachbreaks chest high on average. By next Tuesday, breaks south of
Jaco will see a slow recovery to some overhead decency with super
clean dawn patrol conditions. Wednesday afternoon will see the first
pulses of a big WNW ground swell that will kick it up to 2 foot
overhead by Friday. And it's back by more from the SW due during next
weekend.
Caribbean - Head high with overhead sets this evening but dropping
tomorrow down to head high. Sunday smaller, down to chest high with a
still a few overhead sets every twenty minutes. Monday the swell
reutrns and by Monday evening more overhead surf hits the coast.
Tuesday fades about a foot but looks to get bigger going into next
weekend.

AREA REPORTS
NICOYA (N)
** From Diana, the best surf instructor in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
If only there were waves in Tamarindo to report! The new year has
brought lots of beautiful sunshine and off-shore winds, but we need a
swell! Tamarindo is breaking knee to waist high; Langosta maybe a
foot bigger. The water is cool, but not too cold. Ojala que hubiera
olas de que reportar! El ano nuevo nos ha traido mucho sol y buenos
vientos off-shore, pero necesitamos un swell! Tamarindo tiene olas de
a la rodilla hasta de la cintura; Langosta tal vez un pie mas. El
agua esta un poco fria, pero no mucho.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este
fin de semana (clima y olas): Nothing big in the forecast,
unfortunately. Teach a friend to surf! No hay pronosticos de olas,
desafortunadamente. Ensenale a un amigo a surfear!
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: Lake Tamarindo isn't happening
right now. Options nearby are Playa Grande, Playa Langosta, and Playa
Avellanas. It might be a good time for a drive to Nosara. Ahorita no
hay nada en el Lago de Tamarindo. Playa cercanas son Playa Grande,
Playa Langosta y Playa Avellanas. Puede ser un buen momento para un
viaje a Playa Nosara.

** From Louis at Hotel Las Tortugas in Playa Grande:
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
Very small: waist high, with the very occasional chest high wave.
Beautiful conditions--offshore winds all day long, nice shape--but
just too small.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este
fin de semana (clima y olas): Maybe a little increase in the swell,
but nothing much.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a

AREA REPORTS
NICOYA (N)
** From Diana, the best surf instructor in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
If only there were waves in Tamarindo to report! The new year has
brought lots of beautiful sunshine and off-shore winds, but we need a
swell! Tamarindo is breaking knee to waist high; Langosta maybe a
foot bigger. The water is cool, but not too cold. Ojala que hubiera
olas de que reportar! El ano nuevo nos ha traido mucho sol y buenos
vientos off-shore, pero necesitamos un swell! Tamarindo tiene olas de
a la rodilla hasta de la cintura; Langosta tal vez un pie mas. El
agua esta un poco fria, pero no mucho.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este
fin de semana (clima y olas): Nothing big in the forecast,
unfortunately. Teach a friend to surf! No hay pronosticos de olas,
desafortunadamente. Ensenale a un amigo a surfear!
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: Lake Tamarindo isn't happening
right now. Options nearby are Playa Grande, Playa Langosta, and Playa
Avellanas. It might be a good time for a drive to Nosara. Ahorita no
hay nada en el Lago de Tamarindo. Playa cercanas son Playa Grande,
Playa Langosta y Playa Avellanas. Puede ser un buen momento para un
viaje a Playa Nosara.

Beautiful conditions--offshore winds all day long, nice shape--but

Pacific - Go to the Caribbean! The Guanacaste coast will get some
headhigh surf Saturday, while the rest of the coast makes due with
chest to head high surf. This trend worsens through the week, surf
will be at best head high going all week and into next weekend. The
southern beachbreaks chest high on average.
Caribbean - This coast is the place to be! Surf is 1-3 foot overhead
with the best waves coming Sunday throughout the day. The bulk of the

another foot and by Thursday it's too late, waves only waist high.
This is the season, so more surf will be on the way for sure.
