AREA REPORTS -
NICOYA (N)
(1) Patti at Best Western, Tamarindo Vista Villas - AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS: a new SW will be coming in late Wed. Wave heights should be 4-7 on SW facing breaks. Another SW pulls in behind the wed. swell and Friday surf should stay in the 4-7 range along the Pacific exposed SW breaks. Stormy conditions Wed, should improve by Thursday. WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves): Passing late afternoon showers will come in Thur-Sun. Winds variable throughout the weekend. More swell coming in Monday. BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA: Playa Grande is picking up and should have some swell by Thursday. Ollie's and Witch's onshore, but may switch with the incoming swell on Thur. Playa Avellanes and Playa Negra usually the best bet on the SW swell. NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS: 4th of july bash at Best Western Tamarindo - Horsehorse Tournament, Texas Barbecue, fun and games and rock & roll to the Leatherbacks.
(2) From Pukas at Hotel Antumalal in Junquillal - AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS: Las olas estan entre los 6 y 8 pies fuertes y muy rapidas. Avellanas muy parecido. Junquillal frente a nuestro Hotel esta rompiendo una izquierda muy buena. Playa Negra esta de maravilla demasiados surfos en el agua. Las condiciones climaticas tipicas de la epoca lluviosa. WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves): Las condiciones son muy inestables porque en la mañana tenemos buen viento y en la tarde no o al contrario. Mar muy agitado. Para este fin de semana se pueden esperar buenas olas tal vez un poco mas grandes porque a hido en aumento estos ultimos dias. BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA: El Rancho esta emocinante olas muy huecas excelente para los amantes de los tubos. Recomiendo Playa Negra y Avellanas y por Supuesto el Rancho que ya no es un lugar tan secreto. NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS: estamos en un punto estrategico de donde pueden movilizarse a cualquiera de las grandes zonas para la practica del surf.
**In ENGLISH** 1. The waves are between 6-8 feet, fast and strong. Avellanas is the same. Junquillal, in front of our hotel is breaking with a good left. Negra is marvelous, but has a lot of surfers on it. The weather is typical rainy season. 2. Conditions are very unstable since the morning winds are good offshores, but usually changing in the afternoon making the ocean choppy. This weekend the waves should be a little larger. The Ranch is personally the best for gaping holes for tube lovers. I recommend Negra, Avellanas, and the Ranch since it isn't that secret of a spot. We are on a strategic point where you can get to whichever great surf break to surf. (Nosara - 1 hour south, Negra/Avellanas - 40 minutes north)
(3) Thierry from Café de Paris in Nosara - AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS: 3-4 feet, nice shape at low tide, kind of bumpy at high tide. Off shore and glassy WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves): A nice swell is expecting tuesday night to be the best on friday/saturday. We have sunny day with some rain at night, nice off shore breeze BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA: Guiones cementery, check at Pelada if the swell is big
(4) Steve from Tropico Latino Lodge in Santa Teresa - AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS: Swell dropped considerably this week, head high with some overhead sets. More to the point it has cleaned up considerably with some good mornings at Santa Teresa. Weather continues wet with night and some morning rains. WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND: SW swell predicted, hopefully it will be clean this time. Weather should clear up - it has been unusually wet for this time of year. BEST PLACE TO SURF IN YOUR AREA THIS WEEKEND With high tide moving into the early morning, Playa Carmen should be best for dawn patrol, hopefully the sandbars in front of the lodge will have sorted themselves out. Santa Teresa as the tide starts to go out.
JACO & HERMOSA (JH)
(5) From Hotel Fuego del Sol- http://fuegodelsol.com - Hello, we have a southwest that is giving us overhead conditions. The camp surfed an overhead Tulin this morning; but it's doubled in size since then. So, now the only bet is Da Reefs. We will have high tide around 4 p.m. Get out and get some. It's getting BIG!!!!
QUEPOS & MANUEL ANTONIO (QMA)
(6) From David at Escuela D'Amore in Quepos - AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS: Esta semana las olas han estado midiendo 2.16 pies en marea baja y 8.08 con marea alta. En cuanto a sus condiciones han estado suaves, tranquilas pero no muy consistentes. WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves): Para el fin de semana es probable que llueva por la noche, al menos así lo ha estado demostrando el tiempo los últimos días, pero las olas creo que van a estar buenísimas. BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA: En las últimas dos semanas se han escuchado los rumores que el mejor lugar ha sido Isla Damas, en La Boca, según entiendo esto es porque las olas estan muy grandes y muy fuertes, además escuche que: "the waves here are board breakers" NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS: Por el momento nada. Algún consejo: Sí, si quieres pasarla bien visítanos, aquí te podrás divertir, aprender mucho español y conocer montones de amigos surfeadores, este es el mejor consejo que te puedo dar.
**In ENGLISH** 1. This week the tides ranged from 2.16 to 8.08 feet. The wave conditions have been smooth and glassy, but not too consistent. 2. For the weekend, it will probably rain during the evening, at least as it has done for the last few days, but I believe the waves will still be nice. 3. For the last two weeks, the rumors have it that Damas Island at the rivermouth, has been the best with large and strong surf, "board breakers" 4. No events now, but some advice, if you want to visit us, here you can have fun - learn spanish - and get to know tons of surfing friends. This is the best advice that I can give.
DOMINICAL & SOUTHERN PACIFIC (D)
(7) From Hotel Rio Lindo in Dominical - AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS: Waves have been coming in at the beachbreak at 8 to 10 feet with a lot of closeouts. Rain most afternoons into the early evening. Rumor has it that Pavones is crowded, but worth it. WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND: The swell will drop to around head high until the next swell arrives by Monday. BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA: Stay at the beachbreak until next Tuesday, then drive south. Paddle out early and before dark.
