Overview - Caribbean Coast - The tropical swells continue all week with surf starting out 1 foot overhead and only dropping to head high by Wednesday. Thursday calls for inconsistent head high waves and Friday will only be chest high. More disturbances will keep the right coast full of chest high surf through the weekend.
Pacific Coast - The SSW swell peaks Sunday afternoon and drops a little bit by Monday, down to overhead surf by Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday are the smallest for the week at head high with a background SSW swell. On Friday a more localized WSW swell strikes the Northern Nicoya coast, pushing surf back overhead, but this only lasts through the weekend. Farther south will stay overhead, but nothing bigger is expected until a week from Wed. (7/9) when a powerful south swell arrives that has built up near the coast of Chile.

You can tell that the swell is super South today as Magic is calling it a 5 star day, and we are at head high with some overhead sets... it isn't really getting in here... I bet some of the South facing beaches are FIRING this morning... Guiones is looking real fun with good lines, most aren't closing out, there are some shutting down... some morning sickness on it today as the photos were taken at 6AM, kind of early for me... should get better as the tide starts fililng in... We have a high tide this morning at 11...

** From photographer John Lyman, Lyman Photos in Playa Negra - (6/19)
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: The surf has been in the fun range with head high sets and fair to good shape. Lots of sunshine in the mornings, clouding up in the afternoons with rain happening almost everyday. Water temp is 84 degrees. Look for the waves to stay head high to a couple feet over head on the sets. With low tide in the mid mornings this week, check out Avellanas early and Negra as the tide moves in.

** From Andrew at SurfingNosara.com in Playa Guiones (6/25) -
Good morning again from Guiones. We've got great conditions today, which I expect to continually improve as the tide drops. We're just about as high as we get at report time. There aren't too many people out yet, however Mario, our resident longboard ripper, is putting on a clinic. If you want to learn to longboard, study these photos and pretend you're him. You can grow your hair out and then affix a fake mustache when you go surfing. I think that may be his secret.
Surf is running in the chest high plus range with the occassional thumper coming through. The wind is dead calm. Grab your board and get out there. Andrew, out.

Overview - Caribbean Coast - The week starts small with knee to waist clean surf. Then on Wednesday the first sets of an East swell arrive,
Pacific Coast - Fun overhead surf all week, but nothing big coming. The SSW swell coming Wednesday has lost some steam, but still will push a foot overhead waves with a 15 second period. Low tide is in the morning, so check out the point breaks early to catch it offshore. Then there's a slow fade in size lasting through the weekend and into next week, with surf only head high to overhead and the next SSW swell not arriving until the following Friday (6/27).

TOP NEWS
TRAVEL - 6/15 - Spirit Air is offering trips from Ft. Lauderdale to San Jose for $89 each way plus taxes, and $129 each way from Orlando. These prices are good for Tuesday/Wednesday travel until November 20th. Go to www.spiritair.com to book your flight directly or contact us to help plan your entire trip. We can create fully customizable Surf Trips to meet every budget and skill level !!
6/13 - Even though the Ministry of Public Works and Transportation re-opened traffic on the southern Pan American Highway, the number of vehicles was much smaller than on any regular day, authorities report. The road is open only 5 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the highway police regulates tightly regarding speed, since many spots are muddy and skidding off the road is a permanent danger. In the meantime, repairs continue at the fastest rhythm possible, but the works won't be completed in less than six weeks, according to the engineers in charge. Traffic is also backing up at the bridges north and south of Parrita, along the coastal highway, so give yourself extra time for driving.
CONTESTS - Witch's Rock Surf Camp hosted a benefit for its sponsored surfer, Luis Castro, ranked ninth in Costa Rica, who is in need of knee surgery that will cost $3,500. The benefit raised some money, but not quite enough to cover the costs. For information on how to donate to help this young man, please e-mail Ellen Zoe or Marcela @ Witchsrocksurfcamp.com.
From - www.lasolashotel.com/soulstice.cfm - The Soulstice Open Expression Session is an annual surf contest created to bring the locals together in Playa Hermosa to develop programs that have a positive impact on the surf community. It takes place from June 21st to the 24th. Beach cleanup in Guacalillo on the 20th.
The first leg of the Corona Triple Crown Surf Series will take place in Dominical on June 21st and 22nd. CRSURF will help sponsor the event, and the competition expects to draw a lot of international competitors. Ask us about our special travel packages (airfare, hotel, 4wd rental) for this event.
ENVIRONMENT - Disco night Friday 6/20 at the Voodoo Lounge in Tamarindo. The fundraiser is planned to help out the local Surfrider Foundation chapter. Check out their cool flyer.
SHOP - How about a free Dakine tractop? Just order any World or Ultimate Travel bag and get one sent to your doorstep. The lowest prices are found in the CRSurf Shop.
How about some summer reading for the kids?? Check out All the Way to the Ocean, a book that teaches kids not to litter, because eventually it will end up in the sea and hurt marine life.

** From Andrew at SurfingNosara.com in Playa Guiones (6/16) -
We've still got solid surf coming in today. Things are a little mixed up and swirly, but the right spot can get you a good one. Tide is a bit low, but that's also providing some barrel sections. The wind is dead calm as of report time. There are a handful of guys out already. Expect the surf to improve with a fuller tide. Erik will be back with you tomorrow. Until then, go grab your board and get some surf!!

For this afternoon the conditions was much better then this morning, Offshore wind, glassy, raining, more consisten wave and set 2ft to 4ft in Tamarindo, really good for all the surfers, I hope so, tomorrow making better conditions for surf in the morning, and see ya in the next report..Pura Vida
** From photographer John Lyman, Lyman Photos in Playa Negra - (6/5)
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: We have seen an increase in the surf over the last couple days. Head high on the sets with fair shape. The onshore flow continues. It's not too bad early but it gets to blowing pretty hard by 10:00. Water temp is 82 degrees. Partly cloudy skies in the mornings and raining in the afternoons. The waves will stay in the head high to a couple feet overhead range for the next week or so. The wind will tend to blow less in the upcoming week so the shape should get pretty good. The tide is low mid day and high tide will be coming up early through the next week. Check Playa Negra early for some fun ones with not too many people out there and then head to Playa Avellanas for the low tide sessions.

** From Erik at SurfingNosara.com in Playa Guiones (6/8) -
We have a real swell in the water today, and it is just the beginning for us... The whole week is blowing up with 5 stars on Magic... so we are in for well overhead surf from here on out. Today is just the tip, and it is already a foot or two overhead and looking pretty fun! The wind is playing some tricks today, so I am not sure how long it will stay good, so the report is short as I am off to try to sneak in a few. Have a good Sunday and get ready for some sick shots this week...

AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: Nice head high waves with offshore winds in the morning. Peaky but a little stormy.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas): Similar conditions through Tuesday when we should be getting the beginning of a nice southern swell. Should pick up to well overhead with occasional double overhead sets by Wednesday.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a surfear este fin de semana en su area: Right now either the beach at Dominical or Playa Hermosa. By Tuesday/Wednesday I imagine the point will be working if the conditions are not too stormy. Right now, it looks like the stormy conditions are past, but one never knows at this time of year.

Today I went to Avellanas Beach, the conditions was good for couple hours, the guys from WRSC had fun day for surfing, good trick, a little offshore,sizes 2ft to 5ft, great day for practis surf in Avellanas see ya tomorrow.. Pura Vida
** From photographer John Lyman, Lyman Photos in Playa Negra - (5/31)
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: After this weeks big storm, the surf is somewhat mixed up. Onshore and sloppy. It's going to take a few days for the sand to wash back off the reef and the choppy ocean to calm down. Lots of cloudy weather with rain most everyday now. Water temp is 80 degrees.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas): The beginning of this week will see a gradual increase in surf and swell peaking on Thursday with well overhead waves. Conditions depend on the wind which has not been kind the past week or so. It's that time of year.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a surfear este fin de semana en su area: We have a low tide running through the mornings this week so Playa Avellanas might be the hot tip as long as the onshore wind doesn't blow too hard.

** From Brice at Land Assurance in Dominical (5/31) -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS: The big news in Dominical is not the wave hight or condition, but rather the new beach. We had a huge storm which tore the river mouth wide open (about 50 meters across). All the sand from the mouth deposited itself a little to the south which gives a good pointish condition even at low tide. All along the beach the sand bars are uneven and little pointitos can be found here and there. I'm not sure how long all of this well last, but its fun at the moment.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas): Just little waves (shoulder high but very fun) until next Friday where it looks like we could be getting a bump.

** From Louis at Hotel Las Tortugas in Playa Grande (5/31)-
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: Mostly sloppy waves, no crowds, take your chances.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas): There are windows of glassy surf in the mornings and afternoons between rain storms. Don't fool around with the lightning.
** From Rafael at Witchs Rock Surf Camp in Tamarindo - (5/31)
Today I went to Avellanas Beach, the conditions was good for couple hours, the guys from WRSC had fun day for surfing, good trick, a little offshore,sizes 2ft to 5ft, great day for practis surf in Avellanas see ya tomorrow.. Pura Vida
** From photographer John Lyman, Lyman Photos in Playa Negra - (5/31)
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: After this weeks big storm, the surf is somewhat mixed up. Onshore and sloppy. It's going to take a few days for the sand to wash back off the reef and the choppy ocean to calm down. Lots of cloudy weather with rain most everyday now. Water temp is 80 degrees.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas): The beginning of this week will see a gradual increase in surf and swell peaking on Thursday with well overhead waves. Conditions depend on the wind which has not been kind the past week or so. It's that time of year.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a surfear este fin de semana en su area: We have a low tide running through the mornings this week so Playa Avellanas might be the hot tip as long as the onshore wind doesn't blow too hard.

** From Erik at SurfingNosara.com in Playa Guiones (6/1) -
we are starting the day with waist to chest high little lines, not so clean, but by the end of the day it should be in the head high range. There is a South that should start hitting mid day today, and if the conditions repeat from last night, which was super fun, it should be really good. Here's hopin...
