Breakdown -
Caribbean Coast - Storms in the Caribean continue to send down consistent waist high surf all week. By Friday a moving tropical system will push in some chest high plus sets by Thursday, lasting until the weekend.
Pacific Coast - More big waves expected this week, arriving Tuesday from the SSW with a period of 15 seconds. Expect surf 2-3 feet overhead with bigger sets on the incoming tides. It will drop the rest of the week only a little, down to overhead surf by Friday, particularly up on the Nicoya beaches. Then another round of SSW long period swell (17 secs) arrives Sunday morning, pushing surf back up to 2-4 feet overhead. Be careful of those riptides and check your leash before paddling out!
The Long Shot - Waves arrive from the WSW on August 5th in the 2-3 foot overhead range just as the last swell exits, so put away the longboards for the next two weeks.

--> Costa Rica celebrated the annexation of the province of Guanacaste last Friday. However, on MONDAY (7/28) the country will also be on holiday so banks, schools, and government facilities will be closed.
--> The Tamarindo Lifeguard Program so far is a success. The three guards are in the tower six days a week, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Last month they rescued 20 people from the currents and assisted in numerous surf-related injuries. In addition there was a Tamarindo Scavenger Hunt which took place at Hotel Pasatiempo that raised $1,300 for them. And the Surf Club Sports Bar in Langosta added another $780 by hosting Lifeguard Bingo.
--> Daniella Navarro, a 12 year old piano prodigy from Liberia, just returned from France after winning a international competition. She will be playing at a fundraiser on August 10th called "Piano and Painting Under the Stars" at the Club de Playa de Pacífico on Playas del Coco. For more information on how to help or for tickets, email Carlos Hiller or call him at 2666-4878.
CONTESTS --> The next Puerto Viejo Open Pro surf tournament is set for Aug. 9 at 8 a.m. at the beach break in Playa Cocles. Mark it on your calendars, as these tournaments are always lots of fun. For entry information, contact Beto at 8885-9688, or email the Cashew Hill Lodge.
--> Former women's champ, Andrea Díaz of Waves Costa Rica recently opened a new office in Jacó, above Pollo Express and across from Century 21.

ENVIRONMENT --> Last month, Waves Costa Rica Surf School, with Roxy and Quiksilver, launched June as international month of the environment, a campaign about the need to protect the Playa Hermosa-Punta Mala National Wildlife Refuge. The campaign includes the "Blue Book" with 10 tips on how to stop ocean pollution. Those who want to be part of the campaign are invited to stop by Andrea's new office for stickers and a copy of the book.
--> Next Surfrider Tamarindo meeting, 7 p.m. at the Surf Club in Playa Langosta. You can help the group with the education program, water quality work, and fundraising efforts. Email chairman Lock Cooper to join.
--> Read the letter I wrote to the Tico Times and A.M. Costa Rica regarding the unchecked development happening in Costa Rica. If you are concerned that they are polluting surfbreaks and destroying the coastal ecosystem, then you have to raise your voice! Contact me if you can help.
--> Here is a New Video in Spanish (with Engish subtitles) demonstrating the problem that communities have all over Costa Rica - the loss of water quality and quantity. It was made by CAVU, who did low aerial surveys covering Uvita and the Osa Peninsula.
SHOP --> FREE SHIPPING on all orders !! The lowest prices are found in the CRSurf Shop. Find boardbags, books, backpacks, maps, and straps- all you need for your next trip.
--> Looking for 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 Louis at Hotel Las Tortugas in Playa Grande (7/26) -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: Perfect, just overhead, conditions should hold for a few more days with the wind off shore all day and the high tides occurring in the morning.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a surfear este fin de semana en su area: This swell is coming straight in and is breaking from Tamarindo to the rock at the north end of the bay. Everyone is surfing in front of the hotel or in front of the cameras, but there is plenty of beach with peaks left over.
** From photographer John Lyman, Lyman Photos in Playa Negra - (7/26)
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: This week Playa Negra has seen some good surf. Well over head with good shape with an almost perfect swell direction for the reefs here. No wind in the mornings and light onshores in the afternoons. Late afternoon glassoffs. Mostly cloudy skies with some rain in the afternoons. Water temp is 84 degrees. Click Today's Surf to check out the Playa Negra surf today. The over head waves we've been having the last few days will be winding down as we move into the weekend. Sunday starts a whole new round of overhead to double over head SW swell staying with us through Tuesday. High tide runs through the late mornings this week so hit Playa Negra early and you'll score.
** From Eric at SurfingNosara.com in Playa Guiones (7/26) -
Surf this morning in Guiones is in the chest high range, but was looking kind of funky at the 6AM photo time... I am doing the report outside on my porch and it feels like the wind is switching offshore as I am typing.... It could improve quickly with a change of wind, which I think we are getting. It is strange to have real offshores this time of year, but it was offshore and glassy all day yesterday. I scored some really good waves with almost nobody out, lets hope that today repeats...

BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a surfear este fin de semana en su area: Dominical though good reports from Playa Hermosa (near Uvita) the past few days.
NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS- Noticias y dias especiales: Dominical Lifeguard Fundraiser a big success! Last Friday night Taylor at Que Nivel hosted a welcoming party for new lifeguard Andrew Webster from Encinitas, CA. Over $6000 was raised, a fine nights work for a small community.

** From Louis at Hotel Las Tortugas in Playa Grande (7/20) -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: Conditions are very raw here now with this hefty swell and afternoon on-shores for the high tide.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas): The swell seems to be relaxing a little, and as the high tide moves into the morning, we're probably in for some decent surf.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a surfear este fin de semana en su area: It should be a little cleaner inside the bay near the Estuary mouth if it's too hairy out front.
** From photographer John Lyman, Lyman Photos in Playa Negra - (7/19)
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: Today the surf is double overhead on the sets with some sets even bigger. Check out the Today's Surf link to see how big it is. The swell is a little too south for Playa Negra so alot of the bigger set waves are closing out like it always does when the swell is too south. But you already knew that. Skies are pretty sunny in the mornings. Some mornings the wind is light offshore and some mornings it is onshore. It's that mixed up time of year when it is different everyday. We have rain almost every afternoon and evenings. Water temp is hovering at 84 degrees. Coming up we have more large waves on tap through this weekend and for the beginning of the week and then a slow fade until the end of this week when it picks back up to well overhead and stays that way through next weekend. We have high tide in the early mornings this week coming up so hit the dawn patrol at Playa Negra and you could score some waves you'll remember for the rest of you life.
** From Eric at SurfingNosara.com in Playa Guiones (7/20) -
Good morning folks... it is good to be back in Guiones this morning... San Jose is a necessary evil when you live here, and I just like getting back home. Today on the beach we are looking at head high to a bit overhead surf, with lots of punch. It is looking pretty fun at report time. I wasn't planning on surfing this morning, but will be making an appearance in a few minutes. The beach guard at the main peak has been wearing a Surfing Nosara t in the last week and folks are asking where they can buy them, so I am going to give him some today... They will be 18 bucks, we need 15, and we are hooking him up with 3 for helping out... so if you want some t's just go to the beach... E
** From Brice at Land Assurance in Dominical (7/19) -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: Well, finally we have some size, but I'm sorry to say it isn't what was predicted and there is alot of storm slop on top of the swell. I did get a couple of good drops today at the point, but the rides were very uneven and soft.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas): We should have a good swell for the next few days and are hoping for some relief from the wind.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a surfear este fin de semana en su area: The beach is totally closed out and ugly, the point is choppy, Playa Hermosa is sloppy, hmmm...
NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS- Noticias y dias especiales: Reports that the Dominical Lifeguards had a good fund-raiser yesterday. If you'd like to add to the safety of our beaches, please go to www.DominicalLifeguards.org and donate. Every little bit helps.

** From Louis at Hotel Las Tortugas in Playa Grande (7/20) -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: Conditions are very raw here now with this hefty swell and afternoon on-shores for the high tide.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas): The swell seems to be relaxing a little, and as the high tide moves into the morning, we're probably in for some decent surf.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a surfear este fin de semana en su area: It should be a little cleaner inside the bay near the Estuary mouth if it's too hairy out front.
** From photographer John Lyman, Lyman Photos in Playa Negra - (7/19)
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: Today the surf is double overhead on the sets with some sets even bigger. Check out the Today's Surf link to see how big it is. The swell is a little too south for Playa Negra so alot of the bigger set waves are closing out like it always does when the swell is too south. But you already knew that. Skies are pretty sunny in the mornings. Some mornings the wind is light offshore and some mornings it is onshore. It's that mixed up time of year when it is different everyday. We have rain almost every afternoon and evenings. Water temp is hovering at 84 degrees. Coming up we have more large waves on tap through this weekend and for the beginning of the week and then a slow fade until the end of this week when it picks back up to well overhead and stays that way through next weekend. We have high tide in the early mornings this week coming up so hit the dawn patrol at Playa Negra and you could score some waves you'll remember for the rest of you life.
** From Eric at SurfingNosara.com in Playa Guiones (7/20) -
Good morning folks... it is good to be back in Guiones this morning... San Jose is a necessary evil when you live here, and I just like getting back home. Today on the beach we are looking at head high to a bit overhead surf, with lots of punch. It is looking pretty fun at report time. I wasn't planning on surfing this morning, but will be making an appearance in a few minutes. The beach guard at the main peak has been wearing a Surfing Nosara t in the last week and folks are asking where they can buy them, so I am going to give him some today... They will be 18 bucks, we need 15, and we are hooking him up with 3 for helping out... so if you want some t's just go to the beach... E
** From Brice at Land Assurance in Dominical (7/19) -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: Well, finally we have some size, but I'm sorry to say it isn't what was predicted and there is alot of storm slop on top of the swell. I did get a couple of good drops today at the point, but the rides were very uneven and soft.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas): We should have a good swell for the next few days and are hoping for some relief from the wind.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a surfear este fin de semana en su area: The beach is totally closed out and ugly, the point is choppy, Playa Hermosa is sloppy, hmmm...

Breakdown -
Caribbean Coast - The latest ENE swell fades down to waist high by Monday evening, leaving the rest of the week almost flat. A small wind swell brings some waist high surf Wednesday, but then it's back to knee high through the weekend.
Pacific Coast - Early in the week has surf chest to head up north and a foot bigger down south. Doesn't change through Wednesday, but on Thursday there will be the first foot overhead sets from a big SSW swell headed up for the weekend. Builds to 1-2 feet overhead by Friday afternoon and on Saturday there will be great waves, 2-4 feet overhead. It only drops a foot on Sunday and next Monday will still have plenty of overhead sets. Mid morning low tides mean to go hit those point breaks.
The Long Shot - Plenty of SSW juice flows all the next with another 2-3 foot overhead spike coming on July 25th.

** From Louis at Hotel Las Tortugas in Playa Grande (7/12) -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: The just overhead surf has been excellent this week with the tides in the morning and light wind.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas): Conditions seem to be holding, if not a little smaller. The wave window should last about 6 hours and there should be fairly long spaces with hardly anyone on some of the peaks. Don't fool around with the lightning.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a surfear este fin de semana en su area: There are good peaks everywhere.
** From Joe at Witchs Rock Surf Camp in Tamarindo - (7/13)
Hello everyone, its joe with the Sunday afternoon surf report. The report is that I have nothing to report. Well, nothing super exciting to report. Surfing small waves is better than surfing no waves, so here we go: It got small yesterday and stayed small today. It is total longboard surf, waves in the knee to "occasional" waist high bomber. No photos to show, tomorrow I'll post some of the conditions instead of doing what some people do and post pics of last month's small waves. The wind was offshore all morning and never really blew out, probably because there was a short rain shower at 7am and there have been some clouds throughout the day. The swell forecast is VERY exciting, check it out here. UMMMM...... OK, let me explain what we're looking at here. The part on Friday and Saturday where the blue parts get really big? That means big surf. Ollie's Point is going to be OUT OF CONTROL. That is a good thing if you like sizable epic surf. The predicted swell direction is 215 degrees, so start thinking about those secret spots that need a solid south swell and then start thinking about getting epic waves. I'll update you all more tomorrow, but this should be reason enough to start looking for a flight to Costa Rica. See you in the surf- joe walsh
** From photographer John Lyman, Lyman Photos in Playa Negra - (7/12)
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: We have had small surf for the last few days as storm activity has slow down in the underworld. Flat to waist high and not much shape. Onshore wind in the afternoon and rain most early evenings. Water temp is 83 degrees.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas): More small surf for now and onshore wind but there are changes on the horizon. By the middle of this upcoming week the swell will pick up from the SW with head high to a couple feet overhead and will continue to stay in the overhead range all the way through next weekend and into the following week. High pressure will move in to make for less rain and a chance of some nice offshore wind.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a surfear este fin de semana en su area: Break out the longboard for some fun ankle slappers and Negra and Avellanas.
NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS- Noticias y dias especiales: John Lyman has some fun fotos to check out at www.lymanphotos.sbpix.com
** From Andrew at SurfingNosara.com in Playa Guiones (7/13) -
Good morning folks... Kind of bummed today as I finally have a full day to surf and it is looking about as bad as it gets... oh well, yoga... There is a nice storm off the coast and little waist high dribblers are slowing breaking out front... funny thing is, it is still ridable for sure, and it looks like some folks are getting it done. When is our next big swell coming????

The swell forecast is VERY exciting, check it out here. UMMMM...... OK, let me explain what we're looking at here. The part on Friday and Saturday where the blue parts get really big? That means big surf. Ollie's Point is going to be OUT OF CONTROL. That is a good thing if you like sizable epic surf. The predicted swell direction is 215 degrees, so start thinking about those secret spots that need a solid south swell and then start thinking about getting epic waves. I'll update you all more tomorrow, but this should be reason enough to start looking for a flight to Costa Rica. See you in the surf- joe walsh
** From photographer John Lyman, Lyman Photos in Playa Negra - (7/12)
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: We have had small surf for the last few days as storm activity has slow down in the underworld. Flat to waist high and not much shape. Onshore wind in the afternoon and rain most early evenings. Water temp is 83 degrees.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas): More small surf for now and onshore wind but there are changes on the horizon. By the middle of this upcoming week the swell will pick up from the SW with head high to a couple feet overhead and will continue to stay in the overhead range all the way through next weekend and into the following week. High pressure will move in to make for less rain and a chance of some nice offshore wind.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a surfear este fin de semana en su area: Break out the longboard for some fun ankle slappers and Negra and Avellanas.

** From Andrew at SurfingNosara.com in Playa Guiones (7/13) -
Good morning folks... Kind of bummed today as I finally have a full day to surf and it is looking about as bad as it gets... oh well, yoga... There is a nice storm off the coast and little waist high dribblers are slowing breaking out front... funny thing is, it is still ridable for sure, and it looks like some folks are getting it done. When is our next big swell coming????

Breakdown -
Caribbean Coast - As all eye are tracking Bertha, other tropical systems are forming around the Yucatan peninsula. Expect these storm to chop up the surf, but give it a little size all week. Most waves are in the waist to chest range, but a few bigger sets pop up every hour. Another East swell shows up next Sunday with more consistent head high surf.
Pacific Coast - Fun head high to overhead surf is the forecast, and there will be some dreamy sessions early morning with the tide filling in. Get up early to catch the swell from the SW Monday and Tuesday, and then see a shift to more of a South swell Wednesday and Thursday. The waves drop down a foot Friday and the weekend call is for leftovers.
The Long Shot - Next swell after this is a week from Thursday (7/17)

** From Louis at Hotel Las Tortugas in Playa Grande (7/5) -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: The swell has been consistent for weeks and is head high now with glassy sessions in the morning and afternoon. The traditional "Indian Summer" off-shores have not consistently shown up this year but the clean swells and still conditions have generated some great surf.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas): The tides are ideal for morning and afternoon sessions. The afternoon sessions are packed so bring your party attitude. Don't take any chances with the lightning.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a surfear este fin de semana en su area: There are at least a dozen peaks working all the way to the big rock at the north end of the bay where the backwash has less effect at high tide.
** From Joe at Witchs Rock Surf Camp in Tamarindo - (7/5)
Hi, this is Joe with the Saturday afternoon surf report: If you're in town you're stoked because the waves are really fun. There was a new moon or a full moon, yesterday I think, as the high tide is really high. The waves in front of the camp are great for longboarding, there are really fun rights and lefts in the waist to chest high range. The wind today was kindof choppy but it has glassed off nicely, not too crowded at all.
** From photographer John Lyman, Lyman Photos in Playa Negra - (7/5)
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: Waist to chest high with fair shape. Lots of onshore wind. Periodic rain. Water temp is 82 degrees.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas): More of the same. Lots of unsettled weather just offshore and could bring a bunch of bad weather to our parts. The surf picks back up toward the middle of the upcoming week.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a surfear este fin de semana en su area: Fun for longboards at Playa Negra and Playa Avellanas.

** From Andrew at SurfingNosara.com in Playa Guiones (7/6) -
I have been locked in my office working on the new site for last week, and I think we are going to able to go live at some point this week!!! I am pretty pumped about it... be aware that the old forum is going away and that you will need to grab a new username and password with the new site... they are all up for grabs so get yours early... With the new site you will be able to comment on the surf report and give feedback on the restaurants and hotels... I am hoping that you will take some time to help out and give good feedback, which will allow it to be a collective opinion instead of just mine... As for surf today, it is looking really fun in the head high range with some sweet little sections to do all sorts of tricks on. It isn't super clean, but the form is good and the lines are good, so who cares... just fun surf... And I see a hurricane may be headed towards FL, I know all our boys are stoked back there... I hope you score sweet surf and then it turns and goes out to sea... I don't want to see Jim Cantore in St. Aug... Have a good one... E.
