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
are here.

** 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.

** From John Lyman Photos at Pablo's Picasso with the Playa Negra

** From Jesse Samara Surf School on the Nicoya Peninsula -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
The swell has backed down to, baby waves but great form. Off shore
winds, before the rain storms, but mostly choppy conditions.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar
este fin de semana (clima y olas): A swell is expected to be coming
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
surfear este fin de semana en su area: The best surfing spot in
Samara is right in front of the Las Brisas Del Pacifico hotel. No
crowds or localism, with a nice clean perfect wave. LONG RIDES THIS
WEEK!
NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS- Noticias y dias especiales: The conditions
in Samara are perfect for beginners right now, so if you've always
wanted to learn surfing come on down or over! If you love
longboarding and want calm conditions it's perfect now! Pura Vida
