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

AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
The afternoon sessions have been dreamy for the last few days in the
shoulder high range and perfect conditions for glassey surf and
outer space sunsets.

WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar
este fin de semana (clima y olas): Daybreak tides raise the
probability of continuing good surf.

BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: In front of the hotel if it
stays small.

** From Travis at Witchs Rock Surf Camp in Tamarindo -

Friday, November 4th: Beautiful, glassy conditions today were host
to head high waves in Tamarindo. At this time of year, there aren't
entirely too many people in the water which made this evening's
sunset session one to remember.

Saturday, November 5th: Slight on shore winds gave way to yet
another sunset glassoff this evening. The 4-6 foot swell coming from
the southwest at 215 degrees delivered consistent 3-5 waves this
afternoon up until high tide, at which point, the waves mushed out
for 15 minutes or so... All in all, another beautiful day in
Tamarindo. This being a high tide break, we're all looking forward
to two good sessions over the next few days, starting bright and
early tomorrow. More then! Pura Vida, Travis Call - WRSC Positive
Vibe Technician

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

Surf is really fun - chest high with occasional bigger sets coming
through. Sunny mornings (& glassy) - cloudy afternoons, but winds
have stayed offshore most of the day. Todo Bien!

** From Samara Surf School on the Nicoya Peninsula -

AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
The swell has backed down, but there are still some bigger waves
rolling in, 4 feet waves, good form. Off shore winds, before the
rain storms, good glassy 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, hopefully bringing 6 to 7 foot waves, nice form. For the weekend
we have 4 foot waves, soft peaks, great for intermediate surfers.
Good time to practice up on your skills. Perfect conditions for
beginners for whitewater. Nice and glassy!

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!

** From Brice at Land Assurance Reforestation Services in Dominical -

AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
The waves have been small for a week and are just now picking up.
The beach is closed out and the wind is onshore. Not the best
conditions to say the least. However, this morning the point was
working even if not too clean.

WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar
este fin de semana (clima y olas): The swell is picking up but it is
difficult to say from what direction the waves are coming from.

BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: Punto Dominical looks like
the best bet. Low tide rising is probably the best time.
