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.

** From Andrew at SurfingNosara.com in Playa Guiones (6/29) -

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...
