TIDES *for Friday
Low Tide - 2.36 ft at 5:56 AM
High Tide - 7.3 ft at 12:08 PM
NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - A nice sized SW swell will hit Saturday
morning, peak out Sunday, and diminish by Monday back
down to head high conditions. Morning low tides mixed
with offshores bring barrels. Check the point breaks
this weekend. There might be some funk thrown in by
hurricane Julliet, so watch for peaks and double up
closeouts.
Caribbean - Copied and pasted from last week ---
nothing coming in for the right coast, perfect for
crystal blue waters and scuba diving or snorkeling.
Afternoon showers daily, but no waves. Maybe a waist
to chest high wave showing Friday afternoon.

AREA REPORTS
NICOYA (N)
1) From Louis at Las Tortugas Lodge in Playa Grande-
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas
y condiciones:
The waves have been waist- to chest-high at high tide.
Bigger sets are coming through, but they require a bit
of a wait. Overall, we are having fun and fast surf at
Playa Grande.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que
va a pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas):
The surf should remain fun at Playa Grande--as long as
the winds stays favorable. The past week has had some
great mornings of surf, and with the
better-than-average rainy season weather, it looks
like it will continue into the next week.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El
mejor lugar a surfear este fin de semana en su area:
The main peak, about fifty meters south of the beach
entrance, has been consistent. The rainy season has
brought surprisingly good weather and drained the main
peak of nearly all crowds. Plenty of waves for
everyone!
2) From Steve at Tropico Latino Lodge in Santa Teresa
(north of Mal Pais):
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS:
We've had several days of clean surf in the shoulder
high range with plenty of West. It's a bit more
disorganised this morning and the swell is still
small.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND:
Looks like it's going to get considerably bigger with
swell direction switching more to the SW. if the
weather stays fine there could be some good waves.
BEST PLACE TO SURF IN YOUR AREA:
Sta Teresa will be the spot to check first in the
morning.
JACO & HERMOSA
3) From Chuck at Chosita del Surf in Jaco -

mas info ! See Ya Chuck !
4) From Tommy at Fuego del Sol in Playa Hermosa -
The waves in upper Hermosa were about waist to chest
high and clean this morning. The swell seemed to be
coming more out of the west, today. That would mean
Corners was fun this morning as the tide came in.
Also, Esterillos will be fun on a higher tide. High
tide is around 11:00AM this morning. Our in house pros
are Dennis Christopher and Tobit McLean. are doing
their Endless Summer Surf Clinics so, call Tobit for

AREA REPORTS
NICOYA (N)
1) From Louis at Las Tortugas Lodge in Playa Grande-
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas
y condiciones:
There has been some juice pumping into Playa Grande.
The past week has not seen waves less than chest- to
head-high, with bigger sets. The waves have been
pretty bumpy, however, and not terribly clean.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que
va a pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas):
If you want to surf, there will be surf. Even better,
the crowds will be minimal. You'll have good-sized
waves but it will continue to be pretty shifty, with
peaks all over the beach. Early mornings and evening
sessions will be best.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA -
El mejor lugar a surfear este fin de semana en su
area:
The Main Peak at Playa Grande always has something to
offer. Even in the mid-day wind-chop sessions, fun
peaks have been coming through, yielding fun rewards
for patient surfers.
2) From Steve at Tropico Latino Lodge in Santa Teresa
(north of Mal Pais):
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS.
Really fun conditions in the 1st part of the week with
beachbreaks working well, 2 - 5' and glassy all day -
with some W mixed in there. We are now being affected
by a tropical depression and the waves are a little
more untidy, though still rideable. Lots of rain.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND:
Perhaps a little bigger, similar direction. Conditions
are hard to predict at this time of year as the rains
reach their peak.
BEST PLACE TO SURF IN YOUR AREA THIS WEEKEND:
Playa Carmen, other beachbreaks

3) From Tommy at Fuego del Sol in Playa Hermosa -
The waves are still on the small side, waist to chest
high in Upper Hermosa. The wind came on it early,
around 7. With low tide being around 10:45AM and
onshore wind, it´s not the optimum conditions, but the
swell is kinda peaky so it could be fun. When the tide
starts back in and if the wind dies, it might get
really fun this afternoon. Our in house pros are
Dennis Christopher and Tobit McLean. They have started
their summer surf clinics so, call Tobit for details

stayed light. Expecting great early morning surf at
the beachbreak in the head high + range all weekend

TIDES *for Friday
Low Tide 1.61 ft at 5:14 AM
High Tide 8.12 ft at 11:41 AM
NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - The south swells that have rounded New
Zealand last week are now showing up on the coast with
1 to 2 foot overhead sets, peaky sections due to mixed
swells and short periods (12 seconds). By Sunday
afternoon things should drop down to head high and
stay that way for Monday and Tuesday. Then by next
Wed., a longer period 16 second swell puts the height
back up to 2+ overhead faces. Daily rain down south.
Caribbean - Go over to the Pacific. Expect nothing
more than waist high, unless a mid to high tide push
makes the beachbreaks enjoyable with an occasional
chest high set. Mid morning or late in the day is the
best call.

AREA REPORTS
NICOYA (N)
1) From Louis at Las Tortugas Lodge in Playa Grande-
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas
y condiciones:
The waves have been from chest to head with some
slightly overhead sets, but a stiff sideshore wind has
created pretty messy conditions. The early mornings
have been best, with the wind picking up mid-morning
and remanining the rest of the day.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que
va a pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas):
The rains are finally beginning to hit Playa Grande
with consistency. There is definitely some swell out
there, but the weather has been inhibiting great waves
from forming. The mornings will probably remain fun
and sizable, with rain and wind arriving in the
afternoons.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El
mejor lugar a surfear este fin de semana en su area:
The Main Peak continues to be the place to be at Playa
Grande. Even in the afternoon chop sessions, decent
head-high waves are still finding their way in.

Thursday, September 13, 2001 6:00 PM
The SW pulse continued to show bigger surf today.
Tulin was overhead but the wind was on it early. The
Rancho Coral surf camp crew headed back to Esterillos
and scored overhead surf with a steady onshore breeze.
Later in the afternoon we headed to Terraza for low
tide, although it had size, the wind and runouts made
it difficult. Low tide this afternoon was at 5:00PM.
Our in house pros are Dennis Christopher and Tobit
McLean. They have started their summer surf clinics
so, call Tobit for details and info 506 643 2078 or
e-mail him at brisadelmar@ranchocoral.com. Pick up
useful techniques, the latest equipment, boards and
critique yourself on video and improve your surfing.

4) From the director of AEC Spanish School in
Dominical:
It was bigger and hairy this Thursday. The swell
filled in with head high to 3 foot overhead faces
which had short rides at the beachbreak. The point was
not working at low tide and early morning rain made
the water look like cafe con leche. Hoping for a nice
offshore going to high tide session on Friday, and
then look for a lower tide spot this weekend.

TIDES *for Friday
Low Tide 1.61 ft at 5:14 AM
High Tide 8.12 ft at 11:41 AM
NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - The south swells that have rounded New
Zealand last week are now showing up on the coast with
1 to 2 foot overhead sets, peaky sections due to mixed
swells and short periods (12 seconds). By Sunday
afternoon things should drop down to head high and
stay that way for Monday and Tuesday. Then by next
Wed., a longer period 16 second swell puts the height
back up to 2+ overhead faces. Daily rain down south.
Caribbean - Go over to the Pacific. Expect nothing
more than waist high, unless a mid to high tide push
makes the beachbreaks enjoyable with an occasional
chest high set. Mid morning or late in the day is the
best call.

AREA REPORTS
NICOYA (N)
1) From Louis at Las Tortugas Lodge in Playa Grande-
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas
y condiciones:
The waves have been from chest to head with some
slightly overhead sets, but a stiff sideshore wind has
created pretty messy conditions. The early mornings
have been best, with the wind picking up mid-morning
and remanining the rest of the day.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que
va a pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas):
The rains are finally beginning to hit Playa Grande
with consistency. There is definitely some swell out
there, but the weather has been inhibiting great waves
from forming. The mornings will probably remain fun
and sizable, with rain and wind arriving in the
afternoons.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El
mejor lugar a surfear este fin de semana en su area:
The Main Peak continues to be the place to be at Playa
Grande. Even in the afternoon chop sessions, decent
head-high waves are still finding their way in.

Low Tide 1.95 ft at 7:14 AM
High Tide 7.94 ft at 1:25 PM

NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - The strong SSW has kept this coast happy
with head high surf continuing into Friday. It should
drop to chest high for Saturday and down to waist to
stomach by Monday. Tuesday it is the same, but have
some hope for chest high+ surf for Wednesday. A
sizable direct South swell will be pushing in for the
next weekend. Some models show a 19 second period so
this is the time to make travel plans to hit those
South facing beaches and points. High tide will also
be in the early morning next Saturday.
Caribbean - Continued storms in the Caribbean Sea are
sending short period chest to head high surf for
Friday and Saturday morning. Conditions will worsen by
Sunday, dropping to about waist high. Then for Monday
on it looks dismal, knee to maybe a waist high set for
the next few days.

Friday TIDES
High Tide 9.99 ft at 6:34 AM
Low Tide 0.14 ft at 12:46 PM
(These are for Puntarenas. It has been noticed that
Guanacaste tides are an hour later)
NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - The next few days look great, head high
Friday with a 16 seoncd period and 2 feet overhead by
Sunday with a wave period of 13 seconds. There is also
a strong morning high tide so get to those
beachbreaks. The SSW sticks around through Monday and
then by Tuesday things calm down to chest high
throughout the rest of the week. It looks like the
strong swell down near Argentina has pushed the surf
back to New Zealand, so we have to wait until another
Down Under pressure systems "turns the tide" back this
way.
Caribbean - The swell is not present, but surf is
being generated by strong winds over the Caribbean
Sea. They push in chest to head high choppy sets all
weekend. Expect it to drop to knee to waist once the
winds die down, and lots of rain is expected.

Unseasonal offshore winds have fanned excellent waves
this week, with possiblities for morning and evening
surf sessions.

Double sessions continuing into the weekend and with
the expected swell, we can look forward to great waves

much glassier than it has been during the temporal
type conditions of the last few days and should
improve as the weather clears.

is on the way and conditions should continue to
improve, though as we move into the wettest bit of the
rainy season this is hard to predict.

5) From Tommy at Fuego del Sol in Playa Hermosa -
Wednesday August 22, 2001 12:00 PM
Earlier this morning, upper hermosa, out front of the
Brisa del Mar had fun chest to head high barrels. The
weather was clear and sunny with a light offshore
wind. Low tide was at 11:00Am. As the tide starts
filling in this afternoon, the waves will be getting
fun again. As long as the wind stays calm, Esterillos
(out front of the Rancho Coral), will be smoking for
high tide. We are getting this SW (200-225) from a
storm that was spinning off South America last week.
This weekend, we´re expecting a bigger SW pulse. This
should be great for the contest this weekend in
Esterillos. The Rancho Coral Team will be there and
hopefully taking over the event. Our in house pros and
Lost & Dragon's own Brad Hersch and Tobit McLean. They
have started their summer surf clinics so, call Tobit

DOMINICAL & SOUTHERN PACIFIC
5) From Jason & Karla at the Green Iguana surf camp in
Dominical:
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - The surf for the
last few days in Playa Dominical has been pretty flat
(head high), but with nice clean conditions.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND - A promising S-SW swell
arrives on Saturday. No change expected in the
weather, the hurricane thankfully passed too far north
to affect us here.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - Playa
Dominical is bound to be going off, and the Point will
probably have one or two big days.

Primer Torneo - Circuito Nacional de Surf Costa Rica
Septiembre 1 y 2, Playa Jaco
Send me a note if you are interested in working on a
Costa Rican chapter of the Surfrider Foundation -
Protecting the World's Oceans, Waves, and Beaches.
Friday TIDES
High Tide 9.99 ft at 6:34 AM
Low Tide 0.14 ft at 12:46 PM
(These are for Puntarenas. It has been noticed that
Guanacaste tides are an hour later)
NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - The next few days look great, head high
Friday with a 16 seoncd period and 2 feet overhead by
Sunday with a wave period of 13 seconds. There is also
a strong morning high tide so get to those
beachbreaks. The SSW sticks around through Monday and
then by Tuesday things calm down to chest high
throughout the rest of the week. It looks like the
strong swell down near Argentina has pushed the surf
back to New Zealand, so we have to wait until another
Down Under pressure systems "turns the tide" back this
way.
Caribbean - The swell is not present, but surf is
being generated by strong winds over the Caribbean
Sea. They push in chest to head high choppy sets all
weekend. Expect it to drop to knee to waist once the
winds die down, and lots of rain is expected.

The small SW (210-225) has given us some relief with
fun chest to head high waves around Corners and Tulin.
The weather is overcast and there´s no wind, so it´s
glassy. The waves in upper hermosa are 2-3 feet (from
the back) with some bigger sets. High tide is at
12:00PM. Esterillos will be getting fun soon, for the
in-coming tide. Our in house pros and Lost & Dragon's

NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - This is a great weekend for the dawn/dusk
patrol at all beachbreaks. SW swell fading a little by
Saturday morning, dropping to head high with a 10
second period. It drops down to chest high by Sunday
afternoon and Monday doesn´t look that great either.
Then by Tuesday another strong SSW will push it up to
head high with a 16 second period. The size will get a
little bigger each day after, with a nice SW filling
in next weekend with 2 foot overhead surf.
Caribbean - Strong storms are slamming Nicaragua but
staying north of Costa Rica. Now is the time for a
strategic strike at Isla Uvita, at least until Sunday.
By Monday it disappears and we wait for more tropical
winds to kick up some swell. Wave periods are short
10-12 seconds.

2) From Steve at Tropico Latino in Santa Teresa (just

AREA WAVE HEIGHTS & CONDITIONS:
We have had a lot of rain here over the last few days
resulting in a real mixed bag of conditions. It's been
disorganised and onshore a lot of the time cleaning up
periodiocally at odd times of the day. Yesterday even
featured an hour of offshore before it rained again.
There is a steady pulse from the SW with some sets
overhead and lining up well.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND:
Depends on weather the squally conditions continue.
Drier weather was forecast for this week but doesn't
seem to have materialised - would expect swell to
remain consistent out of the SW.
BEST PLACE TO SURF IN THIS AREA: Sta Teresa has the
best sandbars - Carmen sorting itself out with new
sand coming out of the rivers after the big rains.
