note to info@... before your next trip to get the info on waves, boards,
and places to stay. NATIONAL FORECAST Pacific - Monday shows the head high
remains of a SW swell. Tuesday drops another foot, smaller the farther north you
go from Dominical. Wednesday to Friday the WSW swell keeps some head high sets
coming in and it's not until Saturday that the first overhead sets of a SW swell
fill in. The weekend calls for overhead conditions, but you have to wait for the
sets. Best time of day is early morning low tides barrels. Caribbean - "Next
ENE swell to come in a week from Tuesday." is true from last week's forecast,
but the first head high sets will arrive on Monday. Tuesday it maxes out with
surf 1-2 foot overhead, but quickly fades back to head high on Wednesday.
Thursday and Friday still show some head high sets, but more infrequent. And
Saturday, another ENE swell shows an overhead set every forty minutes. More
swell forecasted in the next two weeks, time to book a trip or head over from
the Pacific. To do your own forecast - use our links at

(sent in on 11/11 and 12) ** From Louis at Hotel Las Tortugas in Playa Grande -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: Excellent
morning surf in the head high range for several days now with light off shore
wind holding through the tides. The hotties are calling it weak and the rest of
us are feeling like we are in paradise. The sand is in fairly good shape for
long rides and very little high tide mush out. The crappy roads are opening
spaces for uncrowded sessions here and there. WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND
(weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas): The
tides are moving into the mid day slot and threatening the perfect morning wind
conditions at out going tide. The overcast cloud conditions will help the wind
stick around. BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: The bigger waves are hitting a little
south of the main peak in front of the hotel. ** From Carlos at Costa Rica Surf
Trips in Playa de Coco - Reporte de Olas Wichs rock and Ollies point- Witchs
rock: las olas estan entrando con un tamaño de entre 3 a 5 ft perfectas y el

From Chuck at Walking on Water Surf Shop in Jaco - AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND
CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: Out front today was about 3-4 ft
faces with the occasional bigger set and good shape at the "white fence" crowds
not too bad and water quality is great with water so clear you could see your
shadow on the bottom ! Nice Huh! Got some great product starting to arrive in
the shop and plenty more on the way , some new board package deals starting at
550$ including deck, leash, boardbag, fins, wax etc. and not cheap chines boards
or fake bigname labels either . All proud surfer built boards as usual ! Shop
workers are all surfing now and its getting harder to keep em working as they
get better , OH NO I have created more surf hungry wave eating monsters !
Anyways now that the whole store crew surfs anyone looking for employment ? I
need a fulltime surfer [male or female] to open and close shifts on a rotation
basis willing to work hard and be part of our crew . Pays okay, hours are
somewhat surf friendly [once a day] and I only ask that they have their papers
in order so that after the trial period we can put them with "LA CAJA" . If you
are interested send me a resume and call for an appointment ! Thanks Chuck !
