NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - Head high surf for the rest of the weekend, with a few
overhead sets. Picks up a foot on Monday with a long range SSW swell
with a 16 second period. Tuesday will stay a foot overhead with sets
getting closer together. Wednesday and Thursday will be smaller,
down to chest high up in the Nicoya Peninsula with a few freak WNW
waves coming from a swell that started up in the Aluetians last
week. Steady head high surf with an overhead set every half hour for
Friday and all weekend. Long range forecast shows more of the same,
with no big swells on the horizon but lots of consistent head high
to overhead surf and less rain in the forecast.
Caribbean - Waist to chest high surf greets Sunday's surfers, which
will disappear quickly Monday and drop to knee high by Tuesday.
Wednesday and Thursday will stay small, but Friday afternoon brings
some more chest high surf which should stick around over the
weekend.

AREA REPORTS (sent in on 10/28)
** From Louis at Hotel Las Tortugas in Playa Grande -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
The latter part of the week saw light offshores, sunny skies, and
small but reasonably fun surf. Friday the wind switched onshore by
mid morning but the waves were still fun at waist to chest high.
Friday night the rain came down hard, and Saturday morning we've
seen some cloud cover with the sun trying to break through, with the
ocean glassy but the waves a bit mixed up.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar
este fin >de semana (clima y olas): Still a somewhat fun little
swell in the water, >so could be fun, though the predicted bad
weather from the hurricane could >mean onshore winds and messy
conditions.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear >este fin de semana en su area: The main peak at Grande
seems to have the >occasional fun wave while north and south it's a
little weaker.
NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS- Noticias y dias especiales: The turtles

** From Diana at Pura Mar Surf Shop in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
This week we had two days of bright blue skys and light off-shores!
It was like a miracle. The ocean finally looked relaxed after being
blown into a frenzy for a month by on-shore winds. The water is
considerably cleaner after a break in the rain. Waves are waist high
and pretty fun. Esta semana tuvimos dos dias de cielos celestes y
vientos livianos off-shore! Era como un milagro. El mar por fin
parecia descansar despues de estar batido para un mes por vientos on-
shore. El agua esta mucho mas limpia despues de un descanso de
lluvia. Las olas son de a la cintura y muy divertidas.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar
este fin de semana (clima y olas): It rained really hard this
morning just before daylight, and today is humid again. Waves are
going to me small, but conditions are much better than they've been
in weeks. Expect to surf in the mornings. Llovio muy fuerte esta
manana justo antes del amanecer y hoy otra vez es muy humido. Las
olas estaran pequenas pero las condiciones son mucho mejores de lo
que han sido en muchas semanas. Surfea este fin de semana en las
mananas.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: There are nice waves at Pico
Pequeno and at the beach by the rivermouth. Hay buenas olas por Pico
Pequeno y en la playa junto a la boca del rio.
** From Witchs Rick Surf Camp in Tamarindo -
It was a spectacular day in Tamarindo (weather wise) today. The
waves were small but the conditions were perfect. Off shore breeze,
sunny... aaaaahhh. A new swell is on the horizon and is set to stay
with us from Tomorrow through Sunday! Look for head high waves and
(hopefully) more off shore wind for the next few days, at least.

in, bringing 4 to 6 foot waves, nice form. For the weekend we have
baby 2 to 3 foot waves, soft peaks, great for beginners. Good time
to practice up on your skills. Choppy conditions with rain.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a

Tamano de las olas y condiciones: It's raining like crazy and it has been
for...seems like a long time. The ocean isn't really the color of water that
you'd want to swim in, but there ARE waves. The on-shore wind that has been
blowing for weeks has created washing-machine-like conditions. If you do decide
to go in the water, make sure you use some kind of disinfectant in your ears
afterward because ear infections are common in these conditions. Esta lloviendo
de locos desde hace...parece que desde hace mucho. El mar es el color de agua en
que de verdad no te vas a querer banar pero SI hay olas. Los vientos quen han

desinfectante en los oidos porque las infecciones de los oidos son muy comunes
en estas condicions. WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a

bring 2-4 foot overhead surf for the rest of the weekend. With it
comes lots of rain, so get on it early an hour before high tide. By
Monday it drops off two feet, and by Tuesday it's down to head high
with a freak overhead sets from the WNW. By Friday another South
swell shows up bringing 1 foot overhead surf with a long 17 second
period. The sets get more frequent next Saturday, but overall the
swell is short lived. By next Tuesday, some NW swell fills in the
Guanacaste coast with more overhead waves.
Caribbean - It's Carnival on the Caribbean coast. Check out Limon -
the parties, the drinks, the bands, and the dancing. No surf though
expected, although hurricanes are known to sprout off the coast in

Pacific - The mackin SW with an 18 second period has arrived to
bring 2-4 foot overhead surf for the rest of the weekend. With it
comes lots of rain, so get on it early an hour before high tide. By
Monday it drops off two feet, and by Tuesday it's down to head high
with a freak overhead sets from the WNW. By Friday another South
swell shows up bringing 1 foot overhead surf with a long 17 second
period. The sets get more frequent next Saturday, but overall the
swell is short lived. By next Tuesday, some NW swell fills in the
Guanacaste coast with more overhead waves.
Caribbean - It's Carnival on the Caribbean coast. Check out Limon -
the parties, the drinks, the bands, and the dancing. No surf though
expected, although hurricanes are known to sprout off the coast in
October.

AREA REPORTS (sent in on 10/1)
** From Louis at Hotel Las Tortugas in Playa Grande -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
The ocean has not settled down yet and the surf has been sketchy at
best.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar
este fin de semana (clima y olas): Not much, but the weather is
showing signs of mellowing out and there are cold fronts to the
north which are a good sign.
** From Travis at Witchs Rick Surf Camp in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS: Rain, rain and more rain… and
wind. Conditions, over the last 7 days have been the worst we've
seen around
here in quite a while. It wasn't until yesterday that we had what
could be called ride-able waves. Today, the sky is clear and the
wind is considerably less blustery.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves): We still have a
good swell hitting our coast so if the rain and wind will agree to a
cease fire, we should get some good surfing this weekend. Expect
chest to head high waves on the Northwest Coast of Costa Rica
through the weekend.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA: Surfers here have
their collective fingers crossed that conditions will allow for some
high quality surf this weekend. The direction of this weekend's
swell should make for happy surfers at Grande, Negra and Avellanas.
NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS- WRSC's hotel and restaurant are currently
closed for renovations until October 15th but we are still offering
beginner surf lessons, board rentals and boat trips to Witch's and
Ollie's. Be sure to plan a visit to WRSC on Saturday, October 15th
for our GRAND REOPENING PARTY! Come have a great meal with the best
cocktails in town in our shiny new digs.

WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar

swell. Even with the onshores there are still those windows, like
mid tide coming up that can still be a blast for those that are
there at the right time.

AREA REPORTS (sent in on 10/1)
** From Louis at Hotel Las Tortugas in Playa Grande -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
The ocean has not settled down yet and the surf has been sketchy at
best.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar
este fin de semana (clima y olas): Not much, but the weather is
showing signs of mellowing out and there are cold fronts to the
north which are a good sign.
** From Travis at Witchs Rick Surf Camp in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS: Rain, rain and more rain… and
wind. Conditions, over the last 7 days have been the worst we've
seen around
here in quite a while. It wasn't until yesterday that we had what
could be called ride-able waves. Today, the sky is clear and the
wind is considerably less blustery.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves): We still have a
good swell hitting our coast so if the rain and wind will agree to a
cease fire, we should get some good surfing this weekend. Expect
chest to head high waves on the Northwest Coast of Costa Rica
through the weekend.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA: Surfers here have
their collective fingers crossed that conditions will allow for some
high quality surf this weekend. The direction of this weekend's
swell should make for happy surfers at Grande, Negra and Avellanas.
NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS- WRSC's hotel and restaurant are currently
closed for renovations until October 15th but we are still offering
beginner surf lessons, board rentals and boat trips to Witch's and
Ollie's. Be sure to plan a visit to WRSC on Saturday, October 15th
for our GRAND REOPENING PARTY! Come have a great meal with the best

We'll see you here! Pura Vida y Buenas Olas! Travis Call - Positive

surf report:
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:

onshores and pretty much choppy seas.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar
este fin de semana (clima y olas): More of the same and a decreasing
swell. Even with the onshores there are still those windows, like
mid tide coming up that can still be a blast for those that are
there at the right time.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: The best place this weekend
for surf is right in front of your computer to see who wins the pro
contest in France.

WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar

in, bringing 4 to 6 foot waves, nice form. For the weekend we have 3
foot waves, soft peaks, great for intermediate surfers. Good time to
practice up on your skills. Perfect conditions for beginners for
whitewater. Choppy conditions with rain.
