Overview - Caribbean Coast - Thursday calls for increasing swell from the East with overhead sets. The swells maxes Friday afternoon with surf 1-2 foot overhead, and stays big for the weekend. The swell fades down to head high on Monday but there are still lots of waves to be found for all next week.

Pacific Coast - Solid SSW swell pushing in 2-3 feet overhead surf by Friday morning and lasting all weekend. A second SSW push fills in next Tuesday with more 2 feet overhead waves, but lasts only a day and fades down to overhead by Thursday. Another SW swell forming would keep the surf coming next weekend.

** From Rafael at Witchs Rock Surf Camp in Tamarindo - (6/25)

Today was great conditions, because the wind was offshore this morning, clean waves and size 2ft to 5ft, really quiet this morning and better for surfing because not a lot pleople surfing in Tamarindo and take more waves.Pura Vida

** 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.
