TIDES *for Friday
(add 50 min. each day after)
New Moon - May 18th
Low Tide: 1.21 ft at 10:05 am
High Tide: 8.67 ft at 4:20 pm
NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - Lots of stormy weather make finding glassy conditions
tough. However, by Monday the storms will pass and high tide will be
in the right frame for double dawn and dusk sessions. Surf size - 1-2
foot overhead this weekend, dropping down to overhead Monday and
chest to head high Tuesday. The next SSW pulse shows Thursday morning
and fills in Friday with more waves in the 1-2 foot overhead range.
Will drop back to head high by next Saturday, with nothing major for
a few days afterward.
Caribbean - Flatness has returned to paradise. Don't expect anything
over knee high all week. Time to hit the Pacific!

New Moon - May 18th
High Tide: 8.15 ft at 11:25 am
Low Tide: 1.3 ft at 5:43 pm
NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - For Saturday through next week, each day it will get a
little bigger and cleaner, from the SSW. Saturday is chest to head
high with a few quality overhead waves. By Monday it's a foot bigger
and hovers in that size through Thursday. Thursday afternoon, 5/20,
the juice from a trailing SW swell fills in and by Saturday it's 2-3

Caribbean - A late season has blessed the reefs with some ENE ground
swell, headhigh to overhead at the better spots, but fun every where.
Sunday morning will be the best, as the swell passes by Monday
leaving waist high peaks. Another band of E swell rolls in Wednesday
to bring head high surf going into next weekend.

AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
We've been enjoying offshore mornings this week to match our high

afternoon sessions.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este
fin de semana (clima y olas): It looks like the offshores may hold
through the weekend, and then it gets a little dicey as the high
tides move into the afternoon next week with a high possibility for
afternoon onshores.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: Keep an eye on the main peak
in front of the hotel and Avellanas "rivermouth" if the swell comes
up.

TIDES *for Friday
(add 50 min. each day after)
Full Moon - May 4th
Low Tide: -.42 ft at 10:20 am
High Tide: 10.07 ft at 4:39 pm
NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - The next SW fills in Sunday morning with surf 2-3 foot
overhead with sets every ten minutes. This is a solid ground swell
with an 18 second period that developed two weeks ago and will last
until next Thursday. Also expect an 11 foot tidal swing that will
amplify the swell with the tide coming in. (Locals, watch for
flooding!) Monday it drops a couple of feet, but by Tuesday it is
back to 1-2 foot overhead and if you are not there, you are missing
it! Go join my friend Denny in Pavones! Long range shows consistent
overhead surf through next weekend and by the following Wed. (5/19)
the start of another surge of SW, 2-4 foot overhead.
Caribbean - A consistent barrage of ENE wind and ground swell mix
keeps the beachbreaks in the chest to head high range throughout the
weekend until next Wednesday when it starts to fizzle. Reef breaks
may get 1 foot overhead, best day is Monday.

misto conditions all up and down the beach on the north end.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este

TIDES *for Friday
(add 50 min. each day after)
Full Moon - May 4th
Low Tide: -.42 ft at 10:20 am
High Tide: 10.07 ft at 4:39 pm
NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - The next SW fills in Sunday morning with surf 2-3 foot
overhead with sets every ten minutes. This is a solid ground swell
with an 18 second period that developed two weeks ago and will last
until next Thursday. Also expect an 11 foot tidal swing that will
amplify the swell with the tide coming in. (Locals, watch for
flooding!) Monday it drops a couple of feet, but by Tuesday it is
back to 1-2 foot overhead and if you are not there, you are missing
it! Go join my friend Denny in Pavones! Long range shows consistent
overhead surf through next weekend and by the following Wed. (5/19)
the start of another surge of SW, 2-4 foot overhead.
Caribbean - A consistent barrage of ENE wind and ground swell mix
keeps the beachbreaks in the chest to head high range throughout the
weekend until next Wednesday when it starts to fizzle. Reef breaks
may get 1 foot overhead, best day is Monday.
