Full Moon - November 8th
High Tide -9.0 ft at 6:52 am
Low Tide - .29 ft. at 1:08 pm
NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - The excellent SW swell pumps in 2-3 overhead surf all
weekend and stays strong until Tuesday afternoon, as it will drop
down to overhead. Wednesday will still see some overhead sets, but
less consistent and by Thursday it will be down to chest to head
high. Next Friday looks smaller, only chest high sets at the best
beachbreaks. Going into next weekend, it does not look good, only
chest high and waiting for some South swell that shows in about 11
days.
Caribbean - Swell from the ENE drifts in slowly for the weekend, not
pushing surf over waist high. The conditions do not improve until
next Wednesday afternoon, when some bigger chest high bumps will be
seen and by next Friday, a head high set or two will keep the locals
happy.

AREA REPORTS
NICOYA (N)
** From Diana, the best surf instructor in Tamarindo -
Wave heights and conditions: There's been a south swell running this
week which brought head high surf to Tamarindo. Capitan Suizo was
breaking nicely from waist to chest high over the weekend and the
south wind that chopped up the waves at other local breaks was off
shore there. The swell has dimisished, but waves still are shoulder
high near the rivermouth and morning winds are light off shore. Ha
habido un swell del sur en esta semana lo cual trajo a Tamarindo olas
de a la cabeza. El Capitan Suizo tenia bonitas olas de a la cintura
al pecho el fin de semana pasada y el viento del sur que distruia las
olas en otros puntos estabe off shore alli. El swell se va pasando,
pero las olas por la boca del rio estan todavia al hombro y el viento
de las manana es off shore.
What to expect this weekend: Another swell is rumored to be on the
way, so it should be a great weekend in Tamarindo. You can get in two
sessions with the early/late tides. Afternoons are variable--some are
rainy and on shore, but the pattern is starting to shift and allow
some pretty sunset sessions. Se rumora que viene otro swell, asi que
debe ser un buen fin de semana en Tamarindo. Puede surfear dos veces
por dia con las mareas temprano/tarde. Las tardes se varian--algunas
son lloviosas y on shore, pero el tiempo se va cambiando y aveces
permite sessiones bonitas al atardecer.
Best place to surf: I don't think you can go wrong. If it gets big,
the Suizo should be good--or just run for the closest wave. Creo que
no se puede equivocar. Si esta muy grande, el Suizo debe ser bueno--o
solamente corra para la ola mas cercana.
** From Carlos at Roca Bruja Surf Tours in Playa de Coco -
Reporte de oleaje en roca bruja y ollies point- Roca bruja: las olas
estan divertidas entre 3 a 5 ft el factor viento en la mañana es
bueno, al medio dia cambia el viento y posibilidad de lluvia. Ollies
Point: las olas estan entre 3 a 4 ft muy divertido hay que tener

New Moon - October 25th
Low Tide -.13 ft at 7:29 am
High Tide - 8.8 ft. at 1:43 pm
NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - Saturday will see the start of a new SW swell with surf 1-2
foot overhead. By Monday it increases another 2 feet and by next
Wednesday easily double overhead at southwest facing beachbreaks.
Wednesday also shows an influx of northwest swell, too, so look for
lots of set waves and hit the points Thursday at lower tides. (Swells
always seem to arrive right on or after a new moon. How convenient!)
Caribbean - Surf this weekend drops down to knee to waist high with
no real sets. The swell fades entirely by Monday and Tuesday it's
tiny. Wednesday and Thursday also look knee high or less, but Friday
should see an increase of a foot and continuing to get better for
next weekend.

AREA REPORTS
NICOYA (N)
** From Diana the surf instructor in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
It's been a week of a lot of variety! A lot of onshore wind, some off-
shore mornings, nice shoulder-high waves during afternoon sessons mid-
week but a little smaller now. The swell direction is westerly and
the last few mornings have been clear and bright. Very cool water! La
semana ha tenido mucha variedad! Mucho viento on-shore, algunas
mananas con viento off-shore, buenas olas de al hombro durante las
tardes durante la semana pero mas pequenas ahora. La direccion del
swell es del oeste y las mananas han sido lindas y asoleadas. El agua
esta muy fresca!
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este
fin de semana (clima y olas): This weekend we can expect nice morning
surf if the weather pattern holds. Probably not all that big, but
should be clean. Dress warmly. Esta semana podemos esperar olas
bonitas en la manana si el tiempo sigue asi. Probablemente no muy
grande, pero limpio. Preparese para agua fria.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA- > El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: The Tamarindo rivermouth
really likes this swell direction! La boca de rio en Tamarindo esta
buena con esta direccion de swell.
** From Witch's Rock Surf Camp in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - The surfs been dropping throughout
the week, from really fun overhead surf on Monday to waist-to-chest
high slop mid-day Friday. It was really really good the first couple
days of the week...
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Fortunately the
swell looks to be building again, by Sunday surf should return to
shoulder-to-head high (hopefully bigger at exposed spots)
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA- The Tamarindo
Rivermouth has been shaping up the last few weeks, the surf this past
Monday and Tuesday has shown that true potential to the rivermouth is
there... Since the swell should have alot of west in it, Tamarindo
should show to be quite fun!!
** From Carlos at Roca Bruja Surf Tours in Playa de Coco -

JACO & HERMOSA
** From Guido at Hotel Fuego del Sol in Playa Hermosa -
Conditions have been pretty much the same during the week, surf from
the southwest, waist to shoulder, not much wind and a few nice
barrels and not crowded at all, tropical depresion approaching the
coast and a change on the swell`s direction and zise is expected for
Sat overnight - Sunday morning. Biggest waves will be tomorrow head
high and maybe one foot overhead, gets smaller on Fry and Sat and
changes on Sunday to ssw. Tides in Hermosa are high in the early
morning, but not too big, ( 6.50 average) good for early raisers, 5
am till 8 am, or late afternoon before sunset, great way to end the
day. According to the swell's direction, is better to surf in Boca
Barranca, Caldera.. Left breaks are on for the weekend.

AREA REPORTS
NICOYA (N)
** From Diana the surf instructor in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
It's been a week of a lot of variety! A lot of onshore wind, some off-
shore mornings, nice shoulder-high waves during afternoon sessons mid-
week but a little smaller now. The swell direction is westerly and
the last few mornings have been clear and bright. Very cool water! La
semana ha tenido mucha variedad! Mucho viento on-shore, algunas
mananas con viento off-shore, buenas olas de al hombro durante las
tardes durante la semana pero mas pequenas ahora. La direccion del
swell es del oeste y las mananas han sido lindas y asoleadas. El agua
esta muy fresca!
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este
fin de semana (clima y olas): This weekend we can expect nice morning
surf if the weather pattern holds. Probably not all that big, but
should be clean. Dress warmly. Esta semana podemos esperar olas
bonitas en la manana si el tiempo sigue asi. Probablemente no muy
grande, pero limpio. Preparese para agua fria.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA- > El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: The Tamarindo rivermouth
really likes this swell direction! La boca de rio en Tamarindo esta
buena con esta direccion de swell.
** From Witch's Rock Surf Camp in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - The surfs been dropping throughout
the week, from really fun overhead surf on Monday to waist-to-chest
high slop mid-day Friday. It was really really good the first couple
days of the week...
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Fortunately the
swell looks to be building again, by Sunday surf should return to
shoulder-to-head high (hopefully bigger at exposed spots)
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA- The Tamarindo
Rivermouth has been shaping up the last few weeks, the surf this past
Monday and Tuesday has shown that true potential to the rivermouth is
there... Since the swell should have alot of west in it, Tamarindo
should show to be quite fun!!

Low Tide -.32 ft at 8:52 am
High Tide - 8.64 ft. at 3:01 pm
NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - The peak of this weekend's WSW and NW swell combo will come
Saturday afternoon, with surf 1-2 foot overhead with an 11 second
period. Expect lots of set waves through Sunday. By Monday evening it
drops a foot but won't get below head high at the beachbreaks.
Another SW swell arrives Thursday morning bringing waves a foot
overhead and a 13 second period. Surf will be consistently overhead
all through next weekend with more set waves due to some NW swell
arriving. Dawn patrol tomorrow for barrels!
Caribbean - The right coast is still quiet, with surf knee high to
waist all weekend and through next week until Thursday, when a ESE
wind swell raises waves up to chest high. But due to tropical
activity in the Atlantic, long range swells may push in a few nice
sets at the right moment.

AREA REPORTS
NICOYA (N)
** From Diana the surf instructor in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
There's been a nice southwest swell going this week bringing in waves
around shoulder high in Tamarindo, head high in Langosta. Ocean and
wind conditions have been stormy, but some early morning this week
have been fairly well lined up and even off-shore. Ha habido un
bonito swell suroeste en esta semana, trayendonos olas como al hombro
en Tamarindo, a la cabeza en Langosta. El mar y los vientos han
estado muy agitados y tormentosos, pero algunas mananitas en la
semana han estado tranquilos y hasta off-shore.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este
fin de semana (clima y olas):
It's October, so who knows? We've got plenty of waves right now, it's
all about how stormy the ocean is. Expect quick drops and short
rides. Es octubre asi que quien sabe? Hay bastantes olas, el variable
es que tal tormentoso seran el mar y el viento? Espere entradas
rapidas y rides cortos.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: Langosta seems to be picking
up this swell the best. The earlier in the morning, the better.
Langosta esta agrrado bien este swell. Entre mas temprano en la
manana, mejor.
** From Denis at Hightide Surf Shop in Tamarindo -
Tamano de las olas y condiciones: En este momento tenemos olas de
unos 3 a 5 pies. El clima hace dificil predicir las condiciones, hubo
mucho viento y lluvia, asi esta bastante revuelto todo. Ojo con las
infeciones de oido, el mar esta bastante suicio por las lluvias
Que va a pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas): No se ve algun
cambio en los proximos dias, el swell del Sur- oeste se marcho
direcion de nicaragua y mexico, asi esperamos por buenos vientos y
menos lluvia.
El mejor lugar a surfear este fin de semana en su area: Marbella y
Negra seran lo mejor, tambien Langosta es una buena option para la
gente sin transporte en Tamarindo.

AREA REPORTS
NICOYA (N)
** From Diana, the PuraMar surf teacher in Tamarindo -
Wave heights and conditions: The swell that came in during the
weekend gave us about two days of excitement. Waves now range from
waist to shoulder high, coming in from the south/southwest. The on-
shore switch is coming pretty early in the mornings now. Afternoon
rains have been consistent and rather heavy for the last week,
cooling off the steamy afternoons and sometimes turning the wind
around. El swell que vino para el fin de semana trajo dos dias de
olas. Las olas ahora son de a la cintura de al hombro, llegando desde
el sur/suroeste. El viento viene on-shore temprano en la manana en
estos dias. Las lluvias de las tardes han sido consistentes y fuertes
en esta semana, refrescando las tardes calientisimas y aveces
cambiando el viento.
What to expect this weekend: This weekend, expect beautiful morning
and rainy afternoons. Getting up early will be the best stragegy for
getting good surf. Think twice about surfing too soon after heavy
rains, as this is a common cause of ear infections and other
unpleasantries. Este fin de semana espere mananas lindas y tardes
lloviosos. Levantanadose temprano sera la estrategia mejor para
encontrar buen surf. Pienselo bien para es a surfear muy pronto
despues de lluvias fuertes como esto es la causa de muchos
infecciones de los oidos y otros complicaciones.
Best place to surf this weekend: With the south/southwest pulse,
Avellanas should be good. There has been some road work, so it may
even be passable! The rivermouth in Tamarindo around mid-tide is
looking nice and of course as long as the waves come from the south,
Grande is a good choice. Con el swell de sur/suroeste, Avellanas debe
ser bueno. Han habido arreglos en la calle y tal vez se pueda
pasarse! La boca del rio en Tamarindo a la media marea se ve bien y
mientras hay olas desde el sur, Playa Grande siempre es buena.
