(1) Patti at Best Western, Tamarindo Vista Villas - AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS: Wave heights 5' to double overhead with on/off wind conditions. Onshore winds coming in early morning. Glassy conditions in the afternoon with storms moving in late afternoons. WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves): A sw will start to show on Wenesday with wave heights 4-8 at sw breaks.

(2) Nela from Las Tortugas Hotel in Playa Grande - AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS: The tides have been high in the morning this week which is best for Playa Grande. The swell has been running well overhead in front of the hotel with monster sets. The wind is rarely off shore and except for an hour or two each day has made for messy conditions. WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves): The tides are moving into the afternoon and unless we have a freak off shore wind condition, the surf here will probably not be good. BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA: The Tamarindo Rivermouth should have possibilities in the early morning.
(3) Steve from Tropico Latino Lodge in Santa Teresa - AREA WAVE HEIGHTS 5'-6' SW. This swell has never really cleaned up, however there have been decent waves at Sta Teresa a.m. among the close outs. Playa Carmen not breaking so well despite favourable tides WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND Weather clearing up today so hopefully surf will clean up. Swell is supposed to drop so should be more organized. BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA As the high tide moves towards p.m., Santa Teresa will be the best spot, with the possibility of late p.m session at carmen if the wind behaves.

(2) Nela from Las Tortugas Hotel in Playa Grande - AREA WAVE HEIGHTS (faces) AND CONDITIONS (glassy/choppy): We have had a big sothwest swell for a while now. Today it was rough in the morning at high tide but smoothed out this afternoon when the wind went offshore. It is still raw and tricky in the several feet overhead range.

(4) From Mauricio at Hotel Pasatiempo in Tamarindo - la presente es para darles el informe de surfing. Tamano de las olas? Playa Tamarindo, las olas han estado entre 4 y 6 pies, sus alrededores como playa negra, playa Avellanas y play a Grande se han encontrado con olas superiores a las de playa Tamarindo. Ha estad glaciado durante la manana y la tarde, con buena fuerza y con siertos spots tuviando creemos que para el proximo fin de semana el swell se mantendra, suponemos que porque es invierno las condiciones van a hacer glaciado durante la manana y la tarde. Los mejores lugares para surfear podrian ser playa negra y la boca del rio de playa avellanas sin olvidar sus secret spots alrededor. Se espera un proximo torneo a nivel local para los proximos dias.

(6) From Hotel Fuego del Sol- http://fuegodelsol.com - Hello from Playa Hermosa, Jaco - It's bombing right now at Terrazzas (4-6ft) where we saw some local talent in the deepest barrels I've seen in a while. There is a BIG SWELL (9-12ft seas) on the way so, that should surely wake up our reefs which are about 4ft. right now. They should get 8ft. plus and the beaches will be closed out and Points will be good our next swell prediction Definitely, know your limits along our beaches. There has been a lot of injuries especially, on our reefs and points with wackly tides. PURA VIDA!!!!!

(2) Nela from Las Tortugas Hotel in Playa Grande - AREA WAVE HEIGHTS (faces) AND CONDITIONS (glassy/choppy): We have had a big sothwest swell for a while now. Today it was rough in the morning at high tide but smoothed out this afternoon when the wind went offshore. It is still raw and tricky in the several feet overhead range. WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves): High tide is in the morning and the waves should be good till the tide moves into the afternoon next week. There will be some afternoon surf if it rains and glasses off with the tides becoming right for Tamarindo in the afternoon over the week end. BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA: Out in front of the hotel in the morning, and then in the afternoon if it glasses off. Later in the week at Tamarindo in the morning and evening.

(4) From Mauricio at Hotel Pasatiempo in Tamarindo - la presente es para darles el informe de surfing. Tamano de las olas? Playa Tamarindo, las olas han estado entre 4 y 6 pies, sus alrededores como playa negra, playa Avellanas y play a Grande se han encontrado con olas superiores a las de playa Tamarindo. Ha estad glaciado durante la manana y la tarde, con buena fuerza y con siertos spots tuviando creemos que para el proximo fin de semana el swell se mantendra, suponemos que porque es invierno las condiciones van a hacer glaciado durante la manana y la tarde. Los mejores lugares para surfear podrian ser playa negra y la boca del rio de playa avellanas sin olvidar sus secret spots alrededor. Se espera un proximo torneo a nivel local para los proximos dias.
(5) From Steve Longrigg at Tropico Latino - Santa Teresa has been excellent the last few days a.m. overhead sets, tubes, glassy.

(6) From Hotel Fuego del Sol- http://fuegodelsol.com - Hello from Playa Hermosa, Jaco - It's bombing right now at Terrazzas (4-6ft) where we saw some local talent in the deepest barrels I've seen in a while. There is a BIG SWELL (9-12ft seas) on the way so, that should surely wake up our reefs which are about 4ft. right now. They should get 8ft. plus and the beaches will be closed out and Points will be good our next swell prediction Definitely, know your limits along our beaches. There has been a lot of injuries especially, on our reefs and points with wackly tides. PURA VIDA!!!!!

(1) Patti at Best Western, Tamarindo Vista Villas AREA WAVE HEIGHTS (faces) AND CONDITIONS (glassy/choppy): It's a week of small surf with wave heights at high tide 4-6' at some south breaks. Conditions are remaining glassy in the a.m. with offshore winds and then turning onshore early. With high tides this week, we are down to one surf session a day midday to early afternoon. WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves): More of the same with a Southwest 220 and a south/south west 190 all exposed south/west facing beaches should pick up the swell with 5+ in some areas. Rain is here in Gunacaste so watch for the storms, stay clear of any lightning, but it will glass off. BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA: South west facing beaches - Playa Negra and T bay should be good. A new sw 220 should come in by next Wed. Check out Playa Grande for the incoming high tides. NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS: It's tranquillo in Tamarindo. Enjoy the surf!!!
(2) Nela from Las Tortugas Hotel in Playa Grande - AREA WAVE HEIGHTS (faces) AND CONDITIONS (glassy/choppy): The swell has been running at about head high to overhead and a half with some bigger sets. It appears to be coming straight in with the edge of it hitting Tamarindo river mouth. Yesterday it was raw and bumpy and today it has settled down considerably. The wind is light offshore in the morning and during every other day downpours. WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves): More of the same with the critical high tide moving into the afternoon with less chance of off shores at high tide. BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA: In front of the hotel at high tide and the Playa Grande side of the Tamarindo river mouth during incoming tide in the morning.
(3) From Hotel del Paris in Nosara - AREA WAVE HEIGHTS (faces) AND CONDITIONS (glassy): 4 to 5 feet. Windy all day that disturb the waves.

(4) From Hotel Fuego del Sol- http://fuegodelsol.com - Hello from Playa Hermosa! We have been surfing some south facing beaches this week about 4ft, 5ft at Tulin River. We are waiting for a southwest system to kick in later this week. We are expecting it to get overhead; but, better than that, we are going to hit some of those westie reefs.
Stay tuned for some new pics. Pura Vida, Aloha, Imua and Mahalo Nui Loa!!! Tommy
(5) From Chuck at Surf Outfitters & Chosita del Surf - Surfs 3'- 4' foot faces with bigger sets, big storm offshore, plenty of rain and its making the beach breaks a little peakier than lately. High Tide mid-day so check the reefs for morning surfs right now! Tulin could be a good call if size stays the same. Pura Vida

Then it got junky as the tide changed to low. Then we headed to the Reefs to surf micro; but, fun waves. We are expecting it to get BIG , so, look for things to start making noise toward the end of the week. I imagine all areas will be going off. Stick to the points and reefs if it gets big.

(3) From Hotel Fuego del Sol- http://fuegodelsol.com - Big Hello from Playa Hermosa, We took our guests to Tulin for fun overhead 4-5ft. glassy barrels (check the pics). Then it got junky as the tide changed to low. Then we headed to the Reefs to surf micro; but, fun waves. We are expecting it to get BIG , so, look for things to start making noise toward the end of the week. I imagine all areas will be going off. Stick to the points and reefs if it gets big. Especially, if it looks like a direct south swell. Pura Vida!!!

(5) From Hotel Fuego del Sol- http://fuegodelsol.com - Big Hello from Playa Hermosa, We surfed mostly Boca Barranca (3-4 ft. 300 yrd. rides) this week on the medium to large swell prediction we saw from last weeks maps. Since the swell was so, south and, large, most beaches along Playa Hermosa were closing out. It was double overhead solid 6-8ft out there with thick 8 ft. clean ups. The guests were bored and tired of surfing Barranca for the third epic. So, we went to the reefs. We surfed at Escondida (3-4ft perfect) and Little Fiji where it was sectioney. We are looking at more from the south for the weekend. So, the reefs will get swell from the size; but, it won't be ALL TIME without something from the west. Surf those south facing beaches this weekend. No doubt, it will still have size through Friday. It may trim down for Sun. but it is supposed to come right back up. Pura Vida & Happy Southern Hemis!!!

WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves):I have no crystal ball but if it stays the same, I still won't get any work done around the house. (
It's not easy surfing and sleeping all day.) BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA: Playa Hermosa to Tuline if the swell drops but if it stays the same, you now know where to go.

Los surfeadores de la zona aserguran que es muy probable que llueva debido a que ya estamos entrando a la estación lluviosa.

No report, but the editor's guess is head high surf and bigger for the beach breaks for Sunday through Thursday. Good chance at catching Salsa, too.

(6) David, at La Escuela De Idiomas D'Amore, Quepos 1-¿Cuánto miden y cómo son las condiciones de las olas? 1- La latura de las olas no es muy variable aquí en Manuel Antonio, por ejemplo, el lunes de esta semana el instituto mareográfico de C.R. reportó olas de 8,20 pies y hoy miércoles midieron 8,40 pies, o sea, se mantienen casi en un mismo tamaño. En cambio las condiciones si cambian cada vez, las olas son mas tranquilas, suaves, claras, y buenas. 2-¿Qué esperan este fin de semana conrespecto al tiempo y las olas? Los surfeadores de la zona aserguran que es muy probable que llueva debido a que ya estamos entrando a la estación lluviosa. Pero aseguran que para este fin de semana las olas van a ser iguales que hasta el momento. 3-¿Cuál es el mejor lugar para surfear en su área este fin de semana? Playa Playitas. 4-¿Hay algunas noticia o eventos venideros? nada
