TIDES *for Friday - add 50 min. each day after
Low Tide - .43 ft. at 11:10 AM
High Tide - 7.98 ft. at 5:26 PM
NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - Traces of a WSW arrive Sunday, pushing the surf
up a foot to head high, but still a little junky. Then by
Tuesday it grows another foot with a few bigger sets and by
Wednesday it's 1-2 foot overhead, super clean in the early
mornings with a midmorning high tide. I would like to see
what T-Bay is doing with this swell angle, as well as
Ollie's and Matapalo! WSW starts dropping Thursday, and by
Friday waves recede to head high for next weekend, with the
swell angle coming more from the South.
Caribbean - Copy and paste from last week, no surf to
mention - just nice conditions for snorkeling and enjoying
the fun activities on the beach and on the rivers.

AREA REPORTS
NICOYA (N)
** From Diana at Robert August Surf Shop in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y
condiciones:
Waves this week in the Tamarindo area have been about waist
high. The days begin with off-shore winds which generally
last until late morning and have begun to occasionally
switch back. Esta semana las olas en Tamarindo han estado a
la cintura. Los dias empiezan con viento off-shore que
generalmente sigue hasta el mediodia y a veces regresan mas
tarde.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a
pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas):
This weekend looks like it will bring small waves, so get
your long board. The winds are predicted to be less
cooperative than they have been, but with the high tides at
sunrise/sunset, early birds should catch some morning surf.
Este fin de semana tendra olas pequenas, asi que traiga su
longboard. Se pronostican que los vientos seran menos
favorables que an sido esta semana, pero con las mareas
altas al amanecer/atardecer, los que se levantan temprano
encontraran olas en la manana.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor
lugar a surfear este fin de semana en su area:
I recommend Langosta for this weekend. It picks up the
south pulse better than Tamarindo. Recommiendo Langosta
para este fin de semana porque las olas del sur entran
mejor alla que en Tamarindo.

DOMINICAL & SOUTHERN PACIFIC
** From Greg at the Adventure Education Center in
Dominical-
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y
condiciones:
Surf has been junky at most times of the day, with winds
switching onshore early due to showers along the coast. At
the right tide mix, the chest to head high sets have a
little form for a quick cover up and a couple of snaps.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a
pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas):
West southwest swell fills in a little on Sunday and then
stronger next week (Wednesday)
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor

Dawn patrol is still the call with the best chance for
offshores and a good tide.

NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - Dropping SSW swell for the weekend, with surf
from 1-2 overhead Friday afternoon, down to chest to head
high by Sunday. Through next week, the surf stays smaller
(in the chest to head high range) but fun, with high tides
in the late afternoon bringing some juice. Winds have been
shifty in the south, but more consistently offshore up
north. Waves stay consistent through next weekend but
nothing magnificant, maybe some nice dawn patrols at your
local beachbreak.
Caribbean - This coast is still in the flats, maybe a
little relief arriving next Tuesday, with some waist high
peelers at the better beachbreaks. Bring your snorkel gear.

AREA REPORTS
NICOYA (N)
** From Diana at Robert August Surf Shop in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y
condiciones:
The surf has been through a lot of changes this week--it
started out big, went flat and today the rivermouth was
head high and pitching tubes. The wind is staying off shore
until midday and the beach between the lifeguard stand and
the estuary was giving some folks nice rides instead of the
customary close outs. Las olas han cambiado muchisima en
esta semana--al principio eran grandes, se fueron y hoy la
boca del rio estuvo a la cabeza y tirando tubos. El viento
quedo off shore hasta el medio dia y el beach break entre
la salvavidas y el estero estaba bonito, no cerrado.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a
pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas):
Looks like a great weekend for the incoming tides.
Hopefully the swell that arrived today will keep us
paddling for a few more days. Parece buen fin de semana
para surfear la marea entrante. Esperamos que el swell que
lego hoy nos tenga remando por unos dias mas.

** From Joe at Witches Rock Surf Camp in Tamarindo -

The surf has been really really good. Even in Tamarindo
there have been barrels (yes, overhead offshore conditions
too). This week has been awesome, very little crowds and
great overall waves. Ollie's has been EPIC. oh god.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) -
This swell that is running yesterday/today will decrease
this weekend, followed by another one on Sunday. If all
goes as planned, surf won't drop below head-high at Witch's
or Ollie's. Conditions have been ideal (even Tamarindo has
been going off)
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA -
Ollie's Point, on this south swell, is pumping. Find a way
to get there.

AREA REPORTS
NICOYA (N)
** From Diana at Robert August Surf Shop in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y
condiciones:
With the extremely high new moon tides this week and little
swell, Tamarindo hasn't had much more than a little shore
break. There have been fun little mid tide longboard waves
in the late mornings, but in the afternoons super high
tides and onshore winds have been the usual. It's been a
gorgeous week weather- wise. Con las mareas altisimas de la
luna nueva y un swell demasiada pequena, casi no han habido
olas. Tuvimos solamente olas pequenas para longboard a la
media marea en la manana cerca del mediodia. Las tardes han
sido de mareas altisimas y vientos onshore. Pero ha sido
una semana de tiempo lindisimo.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a
pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas):
Keep Sunday morning open, because it looks like we have
waves on the way starting then. The tide ought to be just
right to run out and catch a few while the morning sun
shines and the morning off shores blow! Mangenga abierto el
horario de domingo en la manana, porque parece que vienen
olas para entonces. La marea debe ser buena para agarar
algunas olas mientras brilla el sol de la manana y soplan
los offshores.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor
lugar a surfear este fin de semana en su area:
As these predicted waves will be coming from the

** From Joe at Witches Rock Surf Camp in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS -
Amidst this so-called "rainy season", we in Tamarindo have
seen hardly any rain. Its been sunny, the conditions have
been really clean with offshore winds, some glassy
conditions too. The surf in tamarindo hasn't been much to
talk about, small longboard waves, while Ollie's Point has
been absolute FIRING the last three days. Trips have been
staying at Ollies all day long, conditions offshore with
overhead set waves and nobody out...got to love this time
of year.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) -
We are waiting for a due south, planned to hit on Saturday
October 12th (happens to be the date of WRSC Tamarindo's
next party....hmmmm) Surf should get 2-3ft overhead plus at
Ollie's, we can't tell yet if the swell is too south to get
to Witch's Rock. This swell is going to hit us in spurts,
expect stories of some beaches being waist high, others
being double overhead (Negra, Grande, Ollie's). No ones
going to be here to surf it, either.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA -
Ollie's is the only sure bet, then Negra and Grande.
Anywhere that gets a deep south swell (secret spots...)
NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS-
WRSC Tamarindo hosting two parties: #1 Sat. Oct. 12th, WRSC
Birthday party for Roach, Luke, and Johan #2 Thur. Oct
31st, WRSC HOLLOWEEN PARTY. Wear your best costume for
added effect, anyone wearing the generic "surfer" costume
will be pointed out and laughed at = no friends. be

QUEPOS & MANUEL ANTONIO
** From David at Escuela D'Amore in Manuel Antonio -
1- Tamaño y consistencia de las olas esta semana en:
Playa Playitas: Esta semana las olas han estado limpias, no
muy grandes, consistentes, con dirección derecha y con un
tamaño aproximado de más o menos cinco pies en marea alta.
Playa Espadilla (enfrente del restaurante Lobster): En esta
playa las olas han estado muy buenas, con esto quiero decir
que han estado limpias, consistentes, de dirección tanto
derecha como izquierda y con un tamaño aproximado de más o
menos tres pies en marea alta. Isla Damas: De esta playa no
tenemos información por el momento, pero pronto haremos una
investigación del surf en este lugar.
2- ¿Qué esperan el próximo fin de semana con respecto al
tiempo y las olas?.
El tiempo es una cosa que normalmente es impredecible, sin
embargo nosotros nos atrevemos a decir que hará sol por las
mañanas y estará nublado o lloverá por las tardes. Con
respecto a las olas estamos seguros que continuarán como lo
han estado hasta al momento.
3-¿Cuál es mejor lugar para surfear en su área el próximo
fin de semana?
El lugar que ha sido más frecuentado por los surfeadores
durante esta semana ha sido el área que está enfrente del
restaurante Lobster. Sin embargo, a esta playa solo van
surfeadores que no son muy diestros sobre tablas de surf.
Por otro lado, hay un lugar que está enfrente del
restaurante Arboleda, el cual ha sido frecuentado, no en
gran cantidad como el que está enfrente de Lobster, pero si
se pueden ver a varias personas realizando maniobras sobres
sus tablas.

AREA REPORTS

** From Diana at Robert August Surf Shop in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y
condiciones:
With the extremely high new moon tides this week and little
swell, Tamarindo hasn't had much more than a little shore
break. There have been fun little mid tide longboard waves
in the late mornings, but in the afternoons super high
tides and onshore winds have been the usual. It's been a
gorgeous week weather- wise. Con las mareas altisimas de la
luna nueva y un swell demasiada pequena, casi no han habido
olas. Tuvimos solamente olas pequenas para longboard a la
media marea en la manana cerca del mediodia. Las tardes han
sido de mareas altisimas y vientos onshore. Pero ha sido
una semana de tiempo lindisimo.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a
pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas):
Keep Sunday morning open, because it looks like we have
waves on the way starting then. The tide ought to be just
right to run out and catch a few while the morning sun
shines and the morning off shores blow! Mangenga abierto el
horario de domingo en la manana, porque parece que vienen
olas para entonces. La marea debe ser buena para agarar
algunas olas mientras brilla el sol de la manana y soplan
los offshores.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor
lugar a surfear este fin de semana en su area:
As these predicted waves will be coming from the
south/southwest, Langosta should be the best place in town
to cath them, Playa Grande if you can travel. Como las olas

mejor lugar agarrarlas, o Playa Grande si puedes viajar.

this Saturday, late afternoon - with waves growing from
overhead to some 1-3 foot + overhead sets pegging the main
South facing beaches for Sunday and Monday. Early morning
high tides mean lots of water moving around, so find a nice
sandbar on the lower tides if the wind's not on it. Lots of
afternoon storms playing games with the wind, so watch the
weather into next week, as this swell fades out by Monday
and by Tuesday, surf returns a perfect head high and glassy
at dawn session. Next Wednesday through Friday hold the
same and another SW arrives for next weekend, sending
overhead surf from down under.
Caribbean - A 9 sec. period NE swell that has given the
right coast a little relief will gasp out by Saturday
afternoon, with some leftover chest to head high sets. By
Monday, the surf returns to waist high and by Wednesday
goes back to almost flat.

DOMINICAL & SOUTHERN PACIFIC
** From Greg at the Adventure Education Center in
Dominical-
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y
condiciones:
Surfed the last few days in the early morning and late en
la tarde. Big and clean really early, but started closing
out early and never regained its form. A few board breakers
thrown in to keep one too far outside. In the afternoon the
current and light wind have chopped it up a little.
"Magical" midday weather - Thanks John for the inspiration.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a
pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas):
SSW will stay in the head high to overhead range for most
parts until Saturday late p.m., when some bigger - up to 2
foot overhead - waves start pumping in. More consistent
Sunday and dropping off a little by Monday.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor
lugar a surfear este fin de semana en su area:
If you are in the contest, in front of Tortilla Flats. If
not, take a drive to a favorite spot that faces a little
south, it will be working at the right tide.

AREA REPORTS
NICOYA (N)
** From Diana at Robert August Surf Shop in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y
condiciones:
The south swell accompanied by a south wind gave us a week
of huge messy waves. Langosta reportedly had the best
morning surf at Sapos with waves well overhead and fairly
clean until the winds picked up. Capitan Suizo was the
break of choice at chest to shoulder high with the south
wind being off-shore. The swell is diminishing as the week
progresses. El swell del sur acompanado por un viento del
sur nos trajo una semana de olas grandes pero
desorganizadas. Segun reportajes, Langosta tuvo el mejor
surf en las mananas con olas sobre la cabeza y limpias
hasta que llegaron los vientos. Capitan Suizo fue el lugar
preferido con olas del pecho la hombro y el viento del sur
off-shore. El swell se disminuye mientras la semana
progresa.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a
pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas):
North winds are predicted for this weekend, which are
better than south winds for most of Tamarindo. The swell
passes and leaves us with our typical waist to chest surf
which will be better the earlier you get to it. Se
pronostican vientos del norte para este fin de semana, los
cuales son mejores que vientos del sur para la mayoria de
Tamarindo. El swell pasa y nos deja con olas normales de la
cintura al pecho. Entre mas temprano llegas al agua, mejor.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor
lugar a surfear este fin de semana en su area:
Playa Grande should be really great in the early mornings
with the incoming tide and the left-over of the swell. In
Tamarindo, the rivermouth should be good near mid-tide and
the Langosta rivermouth near low tide. Playa Grande sera
buenisima en las mananitas con la marea entrante y los
sobros del swell. En Tamarindo, la boca el rio sera buena
por la media marea, y la boca del rio en Langosta por marea
baja.
* From Louis at Hotel Las Tortugas in Playa Grande -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y
condiciones:
We have been enjoying constant swell between overhead and a
half and double over head for over a week now. Different
spots have been ridable at various tides and wind
conditions. The early morning sessions have been productive
the last few mornings. With no real off shores, patience is
the key with an occassional perfect glassy wave.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a
pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas):
The size is right for the main peak over the weekend with
early morning tides.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor
lugar a surfear este fin de semana en su area:
Out front if it's not too messy and Tamarindo and points
south if it is.
* From Steve at Tropico Latino Lodge in Santa Teresa (Mal
Pais)
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS & CONDITIONS:
Swell has now dropped after the excitement of the weekend.
It's shoulder high out front this morning, clean but a
little disorganised. Weather is perfect - sunny days and
downpours at night.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND:
More swell. Should be around 5' for the weekend.
BEST PLACE TO SURF IN YOUR AREA:
Providing it stays clean, Playa Carmen should be good in
the morning around high tide.

NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - One SW swell drops off Sunday afternoon from 1-2
foot overhead surf down to chest to head high on Monday.
Then another swell fills in from the WSW, hitting the
Nicoya peninsula with solid overhead surf that last all
week. Best spot is Ollie's or Nicaruaga for sure. The
direction slowly changes to more from the South by Friday,
but size stays in the overhead range with a few bombers
arriving every 15 minutes. A freak NW pushes in some chest
high bumps on Thursday that will either A-frame the sets
out, or double them up. Overhead surf stays in the forecast
through next weekend.
Caribbean - The wave juice is being sucked up by tropical
storms in the Gulf and out past the Bahamas, leaving the
beautiful beaches flat and the water super-clean for other
water sports. If you want Gulf waves, go to Texas!

** From Diana at Robert August Surf Shop in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y
condiciones:
The week started out with some beautiful morning sessions
with light off-shores. By 9 or 10 the wind is going
on-shore and continuing through out the day. Wave size is
about waist to shoulder high, depending where and when go.
Right now rain and on-shore winds have created a lot of
disorganization and chop. La semana empezo con olas lindas
en las mananas con vientos suaves off-shore. El viento esta
cambiando a las 9 or las 10 y sigue on shore todo el dia.
El tamano de olas es de la cintura al hombro, depende en
cuando y donde vas. En este momento la lluvia y vientos
on-shore han hecho mucha desorganizacion en el mar.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a
pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas):
We're expecting to see a considerable jump in wave size
this weekend, but due to the temporal, on-shore winds will
be a problem. The sea should be calmest in the early
morning when the tide is low. Estamos esperando un aumento
considerable en el tamano de las olas este fin de semana,
pero los vientos on-shore seran un problema por el
temporal. El mar sera mas calmado en las manans cuando la
marea esta baja.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor

NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - One SW swell drops off Sunday afternoon from 1-2
foot overhead surf down to chest to head high on Monday.
Then another swell fills in from the WSW, hitting the
Nicoya peninsula with solid overhead surf that last all
week. Best spot is Ollie's or Nicaruaga for sure. The
direction slowly changes to more from the South by Friday,
but size stays in the overhead range with a few bombers
arriving every 15 minutes. A freak NW pushes in some chest
high bumps on Thursday that will either A-frame the sets
out, or double them up. Overhead surf stays in the forecast
through next weekend.
Caribbean - The wave juice is being sucked up by tropical
storms in the Gulf and out past the Bahamas, leaving the
beautiful beaches flat and the water super-clean for other
water sports. If you want Gulf waves, go to Texas!

AREA REPORTS
NICOYA (N)
** From Diana at Robert August Surf Shop in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y
condiciones:
The week started out with some beautiful morning sessions
with light off-shores. By 9 or 10 the wind is going
on-shore and continuing through out the day. Wave size is
about waist to shoulder high, depending where and when go.
Right now rain and on-shore winds have created a lot of
disorganization and chop. La semana empezo con olas lindas
en las mananas con vientos suaves off-shore. El viento esta
cambiando a las 9 or las 10 y sigue on shore todo el dia.
El tamano de olas es de la cintura al hombro, depende en
cuando y donde vas. En este momento la lluvia y vientos
on-shore han hecho mucha desorganizacion en el mar.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a
pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas):
We're expecting to see a considerable jump in wave size
this weekend, but due to the temporal, on-shore winds will
be a problem. The sea should be calmest in the early
morning when the tide is low. Estamos esperando un aumento
considerable en el tamano de las olas este fin de semana,
pero los vientos on-shore seran un problema por el
temporal. El mar sera mas calmado en las manans cuando la
marea esta baja.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor
lugar a surfear este fin de semana en su area:
Check the low tide spots: The Langosta river mouth and the
Tamarindo river mouth. Prueba los lugares de marea baja: La
boca del rio en Langosta y la de Tamarindo.

** From Greg at the Adventure Education Center in
Dominical-
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y
condiciones:
Got back yesterday from surfing Pavones. Waited since
Tuesday for a SW that arrived Thursday afternoon with some
headhigh to overhead peaks. Really fun at the point and at
La Esquina. Friday was overhead and peeling 100 yard rides.
Best thing was nobody was there, just us! Dominical had
consistent barrels all week during lower tides.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a

SW swell will die off Sunday and be replaced by another
more westerly swell arriving Monday. Backups keep the waves
pumping past next weekend in the overhead range.
