Pacific - Occasional overhead sets appear over the weekend, but the
main SW swell has passed and by next Monday and Tuesday, expect only
waist to chest high conditions. Wednesday looks better with a few
head high sets showing in the south and then the New Year brings fun
head high to overhead surf to the coast. It last only about 24 hours
so for the weekend, it's back to chest high. Go to the Caribbean!!
Caribbean - The weekend wave size will be only wiast to chest high,
but by Tuesday evening a ENE swell pushes in some head high surf and
by Wednesday afternoon should be 1-2 feet overhead. The best day will
be Friday, as 1-3 ft. overhead conditions can be found at la isla and
other reefs.

head high to overhead surf to the coast. It last only about 24 hours
so for the weekend, it's back to chest high. Go to the Caribbean!!
Caribbean - The weekend wave size will be only wiast to chest high,
but by Tuesday evening a ENE swell pushes in some head high surf and
by Wednesday afternoon should be 1-2 feet overhead. The best day will
be Friday, as 1-3 ft. overhead conditions can be found at la isla and
other reefs.

NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - The Guanacaste coast is the place to surf this week, as
offshore winds last longer each day and the swell is coming from the
NW. Best around Ollie's and Witches, while the rest of the coast
settles for waist to head high surf most of the week, with bigger
days on Wednesday and Friday. The next weekend looks like head high
conditions and clean, with a double session at the beach breaks due
to an early high tide.
Caribbean - The beaches will be hit or miss for the rest of the
weekend and throughout the week. An ENE swell currently sending in
waist to chest highwaves peaks Monday with some head high sets and
backs off by Tuesday, leaving it only knee high with some bigger
sets. Another ENE fills in Wednesday, but doesn't make it all the way
in, so only a few chest high sets will be seen until the next
weekend. Some spots that jut further out may pick up the swell
better. Try an island or reef.

AREA REPORTS
NICOYA (N)
** From Diana, the best surf instructor in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
The week started out with a strong north swell that brought head high
waves to Tamarindo. The rights were rolling but the current had us
all on a train to Langosta. Since that swell passed, we seem to have
waves every other day--not sure what that's all about. Winds have
been off shore sometimes all day, sometimes just ing the morning.
This is the first week of no rain. La semana empezo con un buen swell
de norte que trajo olas de a la cabeza a Tamarindo. Tiraba lindas
derechas, pero el corriente fue como montarse en un tren hacia Playa
Langosta. Desde que paso este swell, hemos tenido olas dia por
medio--no se que sera eso. Los vientos han sido off-shore aveces todo
el dia, aveces solamente en las mananas. Esta es la primera semana
sin lluvia.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este
fin de semana (clima y olas): With this every-other-day pattern,
Saturday should be the pick! I expect off-shores in the morning but
won't count on them in the afternoon as the tide fills in. Sunset
sessions should be the best. Con esto de dia por medio, digo que el
sabado sera buen dia para surfear. Espero vientos off-shore en las
mananas pero no contare con ellos para las tardes cuando la marea se
suba. Los atardeceres seran los mejores tiempos para surfear.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: The beach break in Langosta is
good right now if you know the spot to be. Henry's is even breaking,
but look out for the rocks! La playa en Langosta esta buena ahora si
sabe en que punto estar. Hasta Henry's esta tirando olas pero cuidado
con las piedras!
** From Denis at Hightide Surf Shop in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
3 a 4 pies, lo mejor con marea subiendo, con vientos que cambian
rapidos de on a off shore
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este
fin de semana (clima y olas): Esperamos un buen oleaje, un poco
revuelto y con posibilidad de vientos offshore del verano.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: En la misma Playa Tamarindo
estuve muy lindo estas dias, Grande Tambien pero con mucha gente en
el agua. Avellanas y negra para evitar demasiado gente tienen que
quebrar lindo tambien.
** From Carlos at Roca Bruja Surf Tours in Coco -
Reporte de olas en Roca bruja y Ollies point- Roca bruja las olas
estan entre 4 a 6 ft el viento muy bueno. Ollies point- las olas

AREA REPORTS
NICOYA (N)
** From Diana, the best surf instructor in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
The week started out with a strong north swell that brought head high
waves to Tamarindo. The rights were rolling but the current had us
all on a train to Langosta. Since that swell passed, we seem to have
waves every other day--not sure what that's all about. Winds have
been off shore sometimes all day, sometimes just ing the morning.
This is the first week of no rain. La semana empezo con un buen swell
de norte que trajo olas de a la cabeza a Tamarindo. Tiraba lindas
derechas, pero el corriente fue como montarse en un tren hacia Playa
Langosta. Desde que paso este swell, hemos tenido olas dia por
medio--no se que sera eso. Los vientos han sido off-shore aveces todo
el dia, aveces solamente en las mananas. Esta es la primera semana
sin lluvia.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este
fin de semana (clima y olas): With this every-other-day pattern,
Saturday should be the pick! I expect off-shores in the morning but
won't count on them in the afternoon as the tide fills in. Sunset
sessions should be the best. Con esto de dia por medio, digo que el
sabado sera buen dia para surfear. Espero vientos off-shore en las
mananas pero no contare con ellos para las tardes cuando la marea se
suba. Los atardeceres seran los mejores tiempos para surfear.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: The beach break in Langosta is
good right now if you know the spot to be. Henry's is even breaking,
but look out for the rocks! La playa en Langosta esta buena ahora si
sabe en que punto estar. Hasta Henry's esta tirando olas pero cuidado
con las piedras!
** From Denis at Hightide Surf Shop in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
3 a 4 pies, lo mejor con marea subiendo, con vientos que cambian
rapidos de on a off shore
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este
fin de semana (clima y olas): Esperamos un buen oleaje, un poco
revuelto y con posibilidad de vientos offshore del verano.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: En la misma Playa Tamarindo
estuve muy lindo estas dias, Grande Tambien pero con mucha gente en
el agua. Avellanas y negra para evitar demasiado gente tienen que
quebrar lindo tambien.
** From Carlos at Roca Bruja Surf Tours in Coco -
Reporte de olas en Roca bruja y Ollies point- Roca bruja las olas
estan entre 4 a 6 ft el viento muy bueno. Ollies point- las olas
estan entre 2 a 3 ft pequeño debido a la direccion del swell

AREA REPORTS
NICOYA (N)
** From Diana, the best surf instructor in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
After a flat week, a swell came in yesterday. Evening surf in
Tamarindo was shoulder high and Langosta was head high. This morning
it seems to have tapered off a bit and the wind was light on-shore
this morning. It's been a week of mixed winter and summer
conditions--some days clear, some days muggy. Despues de una semana
sin olas, ayer llego un swell. Las olas en la tarde in Tamarindo
estaban al hombro y Langosta tenia de a la cabeza. Esta un poco mas
pequeno esta manana y el viento soplaba levemente on-shore. Ha sido
una semana de condiciones mixtas entre verano y invierno.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este
fin de semana (clima y olas): This will be a great weekend for morning
surf. Whether or not the swell holds, the recent shift in swell
direction has waves peeling all over the place. Este sera un buen fin
de semana para surfear en las mananas. Que se quede o que se vaya el
swell, el cambio reciente de direccion del swell tire olas por todas
partes.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: It's going to be a great
weekend where ever you go. Langosta seems to be getting the best surf
right now. Sera buena donde vaya. Langosta parece tener las olas
mejores en este momento.
** From Louis at Hotel Las Tortugas in Playa Grande -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
The chest to head high swell we've had running since Tuesday seems to
be finally waning as of Friday morning. Still fun Friday morning with
offshore winds and chest high waves. We're moving into the double
session cycle at Grande with at least the guarantee of offshore winds
for the morning session. The afternoon sessions are a bit more tenuous
with the winds, but the occasional rainstorms can make for some nice
late afternoon offshores.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves)- Que va a pasar este
fin de semana (clima y olas): Diminishing swell but still lots of fun,
especially with two go outs.
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 Grande and
just to the south.
** From Coconut Harry in Nosara -
Playa Guiones seeing head-high, clean surf now. Should be good for
several days. Happy Thanksgiving - vaya con Dios. Coconut Harry -
www.coconutharrys.com
** From Karla at Green Iguana Surf Camp in Mal Pais (Playa Carmen) -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
The report from Malpais, Santa
Teresa and Playa Carmen area: It has been small for the last week, but
there was some increase in the size yesterday afternoon. About
shoulder high on the biggest sets. The wind was not bad at all
yesterday and the afternoon session was glassy, and sunny. The extreme
high tide was making it a little mushy around mid afternoon, but it
got better towards sunset. The crowds are back though.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este
fin de semana (clima y olas): A little rain here and there and the
size will increase a little but not much.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: Santa Teresa at low tide and
anywhere else(Carmen, Teresa, etc.), at higher tide.

I actually got a head high one at @ 4:15 ! Check out the new H.I.C.

Pacific - The swell tap has been turned off for the moment, surf
waist to chest high with only a few random head high freak sets, and
it stays that way over the weekend and until next Tuesday. Wednesday
the SW swell fills in another foot, and by Thursday some consistent
head high surf hits the better beachbreaks. Only drops a foot by next
weekend, but no big relief in sight.
Caribbean - The surf season is open for the right coast, consistent
waist to chest high surf from the NNE along the beaches for the
weekend, dropping back to just waist by Monday. The next push comes
from the ENE on Thursday morning, waves head high with one or two
overhead sets. It drops again next Friday, but stays fun going into
next weekend.

AREA REPORTS
NICOYA (N)
** From Diana, the best surf instructor in Tamarindo -
Wave size and conditions: The surf is small, about waist high, but
today we're having our first burst of stiff dry off-shore wind! This
past week started out with a large westerly swell that brought waves
at least head high to Tamarindo and now it has passed. Las olas estan
pequenas, como a la cintura, pero hoy tenemos los primeros fuertes
vientos secos off-shore! Esta semana empezo con un swell grande del
oeste lo cual trajo olas por lo menos a la cabeza.
Desafortunadamente, se ha pasado completamente.
What to expect this weekend: If today is an indicator, it will be a
weekend for longboarding. The small peeling waves and the perfect off-
shores should make mornings a dream. Si hoy indica lo que venga, sera
un buen fin de semana para los longboards. Las largas olas pequenas y
el viento perfecto debe hacer de las mananas todo un sueno.
Where to surf this weekend: I vote for the Tamarindo river mouth.
It's gets crowded, but the waves are plentiful even if they're small.
As the road dries out, the trip to Avellanas should also be well
worth the bumps. Yo voto por la boca del rio en Tamarindo. Se llena
mucho, pero hay bastantes olas aun que esten pequenas. Como el camino
se va secando, el viaje a Avellanas valdra los huecos.
** From Louis at Hotel Las Tortugas in Playa Grande -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
The swell is small--around chest high--but the offshores are creating
beautiful fun little peaks all up and down the beach. Long mid-
morning to early afternoon sessions.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este
fin de semana (clima y olas): The waves will probably stay small but
the sun will be out and the offshores blowing, so it will be a fun
weekend for playing around in the surf.

to overhead. Wednesday it fades fast and it's back to chest to head
at the better beachbreaks through next weekend.
Caribbean - Since Saturday and Sunday will remain small, from knee to
waist high, Monday afternoon through Wednesday will be the best days
to surf. Waves from the NE will increase from knee high to chest high
by Tuesday morning and stay consistent all day with some head high
sets. By Thursday, it drops back to waist high with a few bigger high
sets until the weekend. Expect more to come as NE'ers push off the
U.S. coast.

conditions. Waves are still coming from SSW, high tides early morning

Pacific - Saturday calls for chest high surf, with head high sets
every 20 minutes. Sunday morning stays the same, but some 1 foot
overhead sets start appearing around noon, and get more consistent
through the afternoon. Monday and Tuesday will be the best, head high
to overhead. Wednesday it fades fast and it's back to chest to head
at the better beachbreaks through next weekend.
Caribbean - Since Saturday and Sunday will remain small, from knee to
waist high, Monday afternoon through Wednesday will be the best days
to surf. Waves from the NE will increase from knee high to chest high
by Tuesday morning and stay consistent all day with some head high
sets. By Thursday, it drops back to waist high with a few bigger high
sets until the weekend. Expect more to come as NE'ers push off the
U.S. coast.

AREA REPORTS
NICOYA (N)
** From Diana, the best surf instructor in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
The season is turning slowly into "summer". The sky is getting bluer
every day and the waves stay cleaner longer into the day. There's
been nice surf this week about chest high, head high in Langosta. La
estacion se esta convirtiendo en verano. El cielo esta cada dia mas y
mas celeste y las olas estan mas limpia por mas tiempo. Hay olas de
como al pecho--a la cabeza en Langosta.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este
fin de semana (clima y olas):
This weekend, it's dawn patrol. All the breaks in the area should be
great if you get up early and should clean up again in the late
afternoon. Este fin de semana, es surfear al amanecer. Todos los
breaks en el area deben estar bien buenas si se levanta temprano y
deben estar buenas de nuevo en la tarde.
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 the pick, but it's been rather crowded Langosta
es el mas recomendable pero ha sido bastante llena de gente.
** From Denis at Hightide Surf Shop in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
Estube lindo los ultimas dias, con olas de uno a un metro y medio,
las tardes sin viento, pero ya el viernes se puso muy chico y ademas
hay mucha gente en el agua.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este
fin de semana (clima y olas):
Parese que disminuye continuamente el tamaño de las olas, ya que hay
poco ahora. Se puede mejoras por el alrededor del jueves con un swell
del sur
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area:
Para evitar la gente (ya parese casi temporada alta en el agua!)
Grande y Langosta se ofrecen bien. Igualmente va ser muy chicas las
olas en todos lados

JACO & HERMOSA
** From Chuck at Chosita del Surf Shop in Jaco -
Small fun rideable longboard waves here in Jaco and weather looks
pretty good for the weekend and yep its payday here in Costa Rica so
the masses are heading down the mountain ! Crowds won't be bad
because we have miles and miles of deserted beachbreaks here in the
neighborhood just waiting to be surfed ! See Ya Soon ! Chuck !
** From Guido at Hotel Fuego del Sol in Playa Hermosa -
It looks like dry season has come earlier this year, this week only a
few showers at night very sunny humid days and very variable surfing
conditions. Waves are still coming from SSW, high tides early morning
and late afternoon (7 - 8 feet avg) raises a little move after Sunday
(SW) waist to head high. Very changing winds during weekend. It's a
matter of the right time at the right place. For Jaco and Hermosa is
better early morning or before high tides in the afternoon.
