Breakdown -
Caribbean Coast - Not much surf early in the week, but by Thursday a few rideable waves arrive from the ENE. It builds another foot Friday and stays fun through the weekend.
Pacific Coast - The SSW swell arriving today with a 14 second period, mixed in with some WSW swell, lasts through Wednesday, keeping the surf well overhead down south, and above head high farther north. By Thursday the surf drops down to head high to overhead and it stays smaller through Saturday evening. Next Sunday afternoon the first sets of a strong almost straight South swell arrives in the Osa and brings more overhead surf to the rest of the Pacific by next Monday.
The Long Shot - The next all South swell lasts until August 12, and then it's small after that for another 5-6+ days.

** From Louis at Hotel Las Tortugas in Playa Grande (8/2) -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: With the high tides moving into the afternoon, the nice, just oversurf , surf is getting blown out early, creating small windows for excellent surf.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas): The chance for afternoon surf depends on the rain glassoffs and presence of lightning. The swell has been mostly clean and the on shores have been light. Very few people are going home as the wind comes on shore.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a surfear este fin de semana en su area: Even Tamarindo has been pretty good, so just pick a spot.
** From Joe at Witchs Rock Surf Camp in Tamarindo - (7/31)
There hasn't been much of a change with the conditions since the last update. The surf has been waist to chest high at best, but really without much power. There have been some bigger sets that have been mostly closed out, but some corners to be surfed (lefts mostly) going into the Tamarindo Rivermouth.
** From photographer John Lyman, Lyman Photos in Playa Negra - (8/2)
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: The surf at Playa Negra has been on the small side with waist high waves with fair shape. Partly cloudy skies in the mornings and rain in the afternoons. Water temp is 83 degrees. Coming up will be an increase in the swells from the South. It's a little too south for Negra but Playa Avellanas will get it good. Head high with two to three foot over head on the sets. Because of it's steep south direction, alot of sets will be closed out. High tide is running through the very early mornings for the next few days so Negra should be the call very early and then head to Avellanas as the tide drops.
** From Eric at SurfingNosara.com in Playa Guiones (8/2) -
Well, good morning from Guiones. We really are at about as small as we can get today. The good news is, it's still waist high on the sets. A few folks are already out there very early to take advantage of zero wind. Last night we had a small push that was somewhat fun, so on and off today there should be periods of surf coming in. We're hoping for a new bump in swell around Tuesday or Wednesday, but it's hard to say how big it will be. Grab you long board or fish and get some surf. Andrew, out.

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.

** 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...

** From Steve at Jazzys River House in Dominical (7/26) -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: wednesday and thursday were classic Dominical peaks - well overhead, thick and fast, clean and mean. Too much fun to be legal. small crowd, grey skies, warm water, dolphins at the mouth, backside barrels for Andrew and Steve. Third time not a charm. Friday early, wrecked and surly. Drop in size, blown out and junky but cleaning up on the outgoing tide.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas): Building size we hope and expecting regular rains and heavy river flow with attendant peaks and rips.
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.

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.

Breakdown -
Caribbean Coast - A tropical formation headed over Jamaica will be sending a few pulses of swell down by Tuesday afternoon, topping at head high on a good set. Leftover waist to chest high surf is expected for the rest of the week. This may change if the storm increase in intensity or changes direction.
Pacific Coast - A very consistent week for surf, with waves at least head high everywhere all week. Best times to surf will be when the tide is coming in and during the middle of the week the swell will be more from the SW, with SSW sets arriving Thursday and peaking Friday at 3 feet overhead. The waves last all through the weekend, dropping only a foot Saturday and another Sunday.
The Long Shot - Still more South South West coming in all next weekend in the 1-2 foot overhead range (a foot smaller up north).

** 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 - A tropical formation headed over Jamaica will be sending a few pulses of swell down by Tuesday afternoon, topping at head high on a good set. Leftover waist to chest high surf is expected for the rest of the week. This may change if the storm increase in intensity or changes direction.
Pacific Coast - A very consistent week for surf, with waves at least head high everywhere all week. Best times to surf will be when the tide is coming in and during the middle of the week the swell will be more from the SW, with SSW sets arriving Thursday and peaking Friday at 3 feet overhead. The waves last all through the weekend, dropping only a foot Saturday and another Sunday.
The Long Shot - Still more South South West coming in all next weekend in the 1-2 foot overhead range (a foot smaller up north).

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.

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 - 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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

Overview - Caribbean Coast - The week starts small with knee to waist clean surf. Then on Wednesday the first sets of an East swell arrive,
Pacific Coast - Fun overhead surf all week, but nothing big coming. The SSW swell coming Wednesday has lost some steam, but still will push a foot overhead waves with a 15 second period. Low tide is in the morning, so check out the point breaks early to catch it offshore. Then there's a slow fade in size lasting through the weekend and into next week, with surf only head high to overhead and the next SSW swell not arriving until the following Friday (6/27).

6/13 - Even though the Ministry of Public Works and Transportation re-opened traffic on the southern Pan American Highway, the number of vehicles was much smaller than on any regular day, authorities report. The road is open only 5 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the highway police regulates tightly regarding speed, since many spots are muddy and skidding off the road is a permanent danger. In the meantime, repairs continue at the fastest rhythm possible, but the works won't be completed in less than six weeks, according to the engineers in charge. Traffic is also backing up at the bridges north and south of Parrita, along the coastal highway, so give yourself extra time for driving.
CONTESTS - Witch's Rock Surf Camp hosted a benefit for its sponsored surfer, Luis Castro, ranked ninth in Costa Rica, who is in need of knee surgery that will cost $3,500. The benefit raised some money, but not quite enough to cover the costs. For information on how to donate to help this young man, please e-mail Ellen Zoe or Marcela @ Witchsrocksurfcamp.com.
From - www.lasolashotel.com/soulstice.cfm - The Soulstice Open Expression Session is an annual surf contest created to bring the locals together in Playa Hermosa to develop programs that have a positive impact on the surf community.

** From Andrew at SurfingNosara.com in Playa Guiones (6/16) -
We've still got solid surf coming in today. Things are a little mixed up and swirly, but the right spot can get you a good one. Tide is a bit low, but that's also providing some barrel sections. The wind is dead calm as of report time. There are a handful of guys out already. Expect the surf to improve with a fuller tide. Erik will be back with you tomorrow. Until then, go grab your board and get some surf!!

Overview - Caribbean Coast - The week starts small with knee to waist clean surf. Then on Wednesday the first sets of an East swell arrive,
Pacific Coast - Fun overhead surf all week, but nothing big coming. The SSW swell coming Wednesday has lost some steam, but still will push a foot overhead waves with a 15 second period. Low tide is in the morning, so check out the point breaks early to catch it offshore. Then there's a slow fade in size lasting through the weekend and into next week, with surf only head high to overhead and the next SSW swell not arriving until the following Friday (6/27).

TRAVEL - 6/15 - Spirit Air is offering trips from Ft. Lauderdale to San Jose for $89 each way plus taxes, and $129 each way from Orlando. These prices are good for Tuesday/Wednesday travel until November 20th. Go to www.spiritair.com to book your flight directly or contact us to help plan your entire trip.

6/13 - Even though the Ministry of Public Works and Transportation re-opened traffic on the southern Pan American Highway, the number of vehicles was much smaller than on any regular day, authorities report. The road is open only 5 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the highway police regulates tightly regarding speed, since many spots are muddy and skidding off the road is a permanent danger. In the meantime, repairs continue at the fastest rhythm possible, but the works won't be completed in less than six weeks, according to the engineers in charge. Traffic is also backing up at the bridges north and south of Parrita, along the coastal highway, so give yourself extra time for driving.
