NATIONAL FORECAST

Pacific - Monday calls for head high to overhead waves south of Play
Hermosa, chest to head high from Mal Pais to Avellanas, and waist to
chest high surf (at best) for Tamarindo. Swell is a weak one from
the SW, which after dying Tuesday is replaced by another weak one
from the WNW arriving Thursday afternoon, keeping the surf chest to
head high. Then expect a drought of waves from Friday (waist to
chest) all the way until next Sunday (12/11), when another SW
arrives as the moon goes to full.

Caribbean - Remnants of an ENE swell give the coast some waist high
surf with a sneaker chest high set every hour. Then by Tuesday it
drops to knee to waist and by Thursday knee high going into the
weekend. There is a strong ENE swell on the other side of Cuba, but
it being blocked.

AREA REPORTS (sent in on 11/26)

** From Louis at Hotel Las Tortugas in Playa Grande -

AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
Perfect head high, morning surf continues to roll in for the last 3
days. Dry season off shores are here finally.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar
este fin de semana (clima y olas): More of the same, maybe a little
less consistent.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: There are peaks all along the
bay from Tamarindo, where it's a little smaller, to Chicken Head
Rock at the north end.

** From Travis's blog at Witchs Rock Surf Camp in Tamarindo -

Waist high waves were all the current SW swell was able to muster
today. Off shore breezes blew right up until high tide then switched
on shore for the rest of the day. The moral of the story is: surf
early, there might not be waves later...
The next swell is set to arrive on Tuesday. Until then, longboarders
will be the happiest people in Tamarindo.... Pura Vida, Travis Call -

** From Coconut Harry's Surf Shop in Playa Nosara -

We're seeing chest to head-high set waves rolling in with good
shape. The rain has ended and the beach is beautiful. Stop in for a
free map & advice on the local breaks. Feliz dia de pabo! Coconut
Harry

** From Samara Surf School on the Nicoya Peninsula -

AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
The swell is back! 4 to 6 foot close outs rolling. Best conditions
are right after high tide, the waves clean up a bit and aren't as
full. Easier to catch. Choppy and mushy during all tides. Occasional
off shore winds, for perfect wave conditions.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar
este fin de semana (clima y olas): The swell expected to hold over
the weekend, but will back down to the normal 4 to 5 foot waves
during high tides, and perfect whitewater conditions, perfect for
beginners and children during low tides. Lots of waves to catch,
good inside break, nice smaller waves, bigger waves only closing
out.
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 the waves breaking a little farther off
shore.
NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS- Noticias y dias especiales: The conditions
in Samara are bigger now, great for intermediate and advanced
surfers, so all surfers can come enjoy Samara.!! Also if you've
always wanted to learn surfing come on down or over! Always great
whitewater for beginner lessons! Pura Vida
