** 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...

** From Chuck at Walking on Water Surf Shop in Jaco - (5/31)

Waves are 3-5 ft in Jaco with fair form lower tide seems to be better lately . I think with the rivers opening we have some sandbars forming out front and its definitely looking better than it has in a while,. Weather super nice today and looks like more for tomorrow but rain later on , business good too with the early vacationers starting to arrive this week so have fun go surfing !

** 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.

BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a surfear este fin de semana en su area: Playa Hermosa and the beach at Dominical.
