Pacific - Saturday and Sunday look fine, 2-3 foot overhead at the
better spots, but less rip and a perfect dawn patrol tide. Then it
drops some each day through the week, a foot overhead by Monday
night, head high all week and through next weekend. Then a week from
Monday (6/21), a nice SSW swell arrives, long period, bringing surf
back up to 2-3 foot overhead.
Caribbean - This Saturday waves are waist to chest high, with rain
coming in frequently in the afternoon. Sunday and Monday look the
same with Tuesday morning starting a new push of E swell, head high
with bigger sets. The swell peaks Thursday, 1 foot overhead and by
Friday cleans up, but drops a foot by that evening.

with two waterfalls enhancing the view out to the Pacific ocean? The
next morning you can rapel down part of a 600 foot waterfall, just an

New Moon - May 18th
Low Tide: 1.21 ft at 10:05 am
High Tide: 8.67 ft at 4:20 pm
NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - Lots of stormy weather make finding glassy conditions
tough. However, by Monday the storms will pass and high tide will be
in the right frame for double dawn and dusk sessions. Surf size - 1-2
foot overhead this weekend, dropping down to overhead Monday and
chest to head high Tuesday. The next SSW pulse shows Thursday morning
and fills in Friday with more waves in the 1-2 foot overhead range.
Will drop back to head high by next Saturday, with nothing major for
a few days afterward.
Caribbean - Flatness has returned to paradise. Don't expect anything
over knee high all week. Time to hit the Pacific!

with two waterfalls enhancing the view out to the Pacific ocean? The
next morning you can rapel down part of a 600 foot waterfall, just an

TIDES *for Friday
(add 50 min. each day after)
New Moon - May 18th
Low Tide: 1.21 ft at 10:05 am
High Tide: 8.67 ft at 4:20 pm
NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - Lots of stormy weather make finding glassy conditions
tough. However, by Monday the storms will pass and high tide will be
in the right frame for double dawn and dusk sessions. Surf size - 1-2
foot overhead this weekend, dropping down to overhead Monday and
chest to head high Tuesday. The next SSW pulse shows Thursday morning
and fills in Friday with more waves in the 1-2 foot overhead range.
Will drop back to head high by next Saturday, with nothing major for
a few days afterward.
Caribbean - Flatness has returned to paradise. Don't expect anything
over knee high all week. Time to hit the Pacific!

Pacific - For Saturday through next week, each day it will get a
little bigger and cleaner, from the SSW. Saturday is chest to head
high with a few quality overhead waves. By Monday it's a foot bigger
and hovers in that size through Thursday. Thursday afternoon, 5/20,
the juice from a trailing SW swell fills in and by Saturday it's 2-3
foot overhead. Disfrutalo!
Caribbean - A late season has blessed the reefs with some ENE ground
swell, headhigh to overhead at the better spots, but fun every where.
Sunday morning will be the best, as the swell passes by Monday
leaving waist high peaks. Another band of E swell rolls in Wednesday
to bring head high surf going into next weekend.

NICOYA (N)
** From Louis at Hotel Las Tortugas in Playa Grande -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
We've been enjoying offshore mornings this week to match our high
tides and perfect (just overhead) size swell. The surf has been a
little lazy compared to the crisp windy season waves we are used to,
but consistent, and light crowds. The tides are now too low for
afternoon sessions.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este
fin de semana (clima y olas): It looks like the offshores may hold
through the weekend, and then it gets a little dicey as the high
tides move into the afternoon next week with a high possibility for
afternoon onshores.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: Keep an eye on the main peak
in front of the hotel and Avellanas "rivermouth" if the swell comes
up.
** From Coconut Harry's Surf Shop in Nosara:

AREA REPORTS
NICOYA (N)
** From Louis at Hotel Las Tortugas in Playa Grande -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
We've been enjoying offshore mornings this week to match our high
tides and perfect (just overhead) size swell. The surf has been a
little lazy compared to the crisp windy season waves we are used to,
but consistent, and light crowds. The tides are now too low for
afternoon sessions.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este
fin de semana (clima y olas): It looks like the offshores may hold
through the weekend, and then it gets a little dicey as the high
tides move into the afternoon next week with a high possibility for
afternoon onshores.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: Keep an eye on the main peak
in front of the hotel and Avellanas "rivermouth" if the swell comes
up.
** From Coconut Harry's Surf Shop in Nosara:
Playa Guiones (Nosara) Smaller, chest to head-high surf with good
shape. Not crowded (now). Pura Vida, Coconut Harry

TIDES *for Friday
(add 50 min. each day after)
Full Moon - May 4th
Low Tide: -.42 ft at 10:20 am
High Tide: 10.07 ft at 4:39 pm
NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - The next SW fills in Sunday morning with surf 2-3 foot
overhead with sets every ten minutes. This is a solid ground swell
with an 18 second period that developed two weeks ago and will last
until next Thursday. Also expect an 11 foot tidal swing that will
amplify the swell with the tide coming in. (Locals, watch for
flooding!) Monday it drops a couple of feet, but by Tuesday it is
back to 1-2 foot overhead and if you are not there, you are missing
it! Go join my friend Denny in Pavones! Long range shows consistent
overhead surf through next weekend and by the following Wed. (5/19)
the start of another surge of SW, 2-4 foot overhead.
Caribbean - A consistent barrage of ENE wind and ground swell mix
keeps the beachbreaks in the chest to head high range throughout the
weekend until next Wednesday when it starts to fizzle. Reef breaks
may get 1 foot overhead, best day is Monday.

Full Moon - May 4th
Low Tide: 1.81 ft at 5:22 pm
High Tide: 7.24 ft at 11:15 am
NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - The south Pacific is belching out SW'ers once a week, the
next surge coming Sunday afternoon with waves 2-3 foot overhead from
the SSW. The 14 second period swell drops a foot Tuesday and another
by Wednesday afternoon and by Thursday it's back in the head high to
overhead range with also a dawn patrol high tide. Then look out for
the next SW arriving next Sunday with some more 2+ overhead sets.
Caribbean - Out to prove me wrong, the Caribbean sea continues to
push in ENE swell in the waist to chest high range, with some beaches
getting head high sets. This lasts throughout the weekend and in well
into next week, consistently waist to chest. Watch out for some heavy
rain showers.

Low Tide: 1.81 ft at 5:22 pm
High Tide: 7.24 ft at 11:15 am
NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - The south Pacific is belching out SW'ers once a week, the
next surge coming Sunday afternoon with waves 2-3 foot overhead from
the SSW. The 14 second period swell drops a foot Tuesday and another
by Wednesday afternoon and by Thursday it's back in the head high to
overhead range with also a dawn patrol high tide. Then look out for
the next SW arriving next Sunday with some more 2+ overhead sets.
Caribbean - Out to prove me wrong, the Caribbean sea continues to
push in ENE swell in the waist to chest high range, with some beaches
getting head high sets. This lasts throughout the weekend and in well
into next week, consistently waist to chest. Watch out for some heavy
rain showers.

AREA REPORTS
NICOYA (N)
** From Diana at the new Pura Mar Surf Shop and Rentals in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
We're in a lull right now, waiting for the swell that's supposed to
be on its way. The waves in Tamarindo are about waist high, winds off
shore in the mornings only. Thank God the water is finally warm
again. Estamos en un tiempo de calma, esperando el swell que se dice
que viene. Las olas en Tamarindo estan de a la cintura y el viento
esta off shore solamente en las mananas. Por dicha que el agua esta
caliente otra vez.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este
fin de semana (clima y olas): It should be a nice weekend for late
afternoon and sunset surf. Things are supposed to start changing on
Sunday when a swell comes in from the south. Debe ser un buen fin de
semana para surfear en las tardes y al atardecer. Las cosas
supuestamente empezaran a cambiar el domingo cuando un swell llega
del sur.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: Playa Grande and Playa
Avellanas should have nice waves right now and be even better when
the swell hits. Check Langosta on Sunday. Playa Grande y Playa
Avellanas deben tener buenas olas hora y deben ser aun mejor cuando
llega el swell. Mire Playa Langosta el domingo.
** From Louis at Hotel Las Tortugas in Playa Grande -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
After a great beginning this week, the swell has dropped down to head
high sets with barely enough juice to break at the super high tides
in the morning and afternoon. The wind has been slightly onshore for
the afternoon sessions for the last two days, but conditions in the
morning are holding with some good small waves on Thurs.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este
fin de semana (clima y olas): As we move into diminishing high tides
in the morning, and the new swell just around the corner, we are
expecting typical excellent April surf.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: The main peak in front of the
hotel will be the spot until the swell fills in, then anywhere in the
bay could get interesting.

On April 24-25, the Hotel Terraza de Pacifico and Quiksilver will
host a $10,000 event that showcases the hottest manuvers from local
and international surf stars. The skins format means that the surfer
must claim his/her best wave and then leave the water. The best
scoring wave wins the "skin" and the surfer can continue on to the
next heat to win other skins. Check - www.terraza-del-pacifico.com or
www.quiksilver.com for more details.
After the Quik show, head down to Dominical to see "Los Fantasticos"
at Roca Verde - 4/26-28 or 5/2-4. Local actors get lots of credit and
laughter. Buen tiempo por todos!

AREA REPORTS
NICOYA (N)
** From Diana at the new Pura Mar Surf Shop and Rentals in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
We're in a lull right now, waiting for the swell that's supposed to
be on its way. The waves in Tamarindo are about waist high, winds off
shore in the mornings only. Thank God the water is finally warm
again. Estamos en un tiempo de calma, esperando el swell que se dice
que viene. Las olas en Tamarindo estan de a la cintura y el viento
esta off shore solamente en las mananas. Por dicha que el agua esta
caliente otra vez.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este
fin de semana (clima y olas): It should be a nice weekend for late
afternoon and sunset surf. Things are supposed to start changing on
Sunday when a swell comes in from the south. Debe ser un buen fin de
semana para surfear en las tardes y al atardecer. Las cosas
supuestamente empezaran a cambiar el domingo cuando un swell llega
del sur.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: Playa Grande and Playa
Avellanas should have nice waves right now and be even better when
the swell hits. Check Langosta on Sunday. Playa Grande y Playa
Avellanas deben tener buenas olas hora y deben ser aun mejor cuando
llega el swell. Mire Playa Langosta el domingo.
** From Louis at Hotel Las Tortugas in Playa Grande -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
After a great beginning this week, the swell has dropped down to head
high sets with barely enough juice to break at the super high tides
in the morning and afternoon. The wind has been slightly onshore for
the afternoon sessions for the last two days, but conditions in the
morning are holding with some good small waves on Thurs.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este
fin de semana (clima y olas): As we move into diminishing high tides
in the morning, and the new swell just around the corner, we are
expecting typical excellent April surf.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: The main peak in front of the
hotel will be the spot until the swell fills in, then anywhere in the
bay could get interesting.
** From Denis at High Tide Surf Shop in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
Finalmente menos gente pero tambien menos olas! Hay olas de 4 a 5
pies con un lindo viento offshore por la mañana, el calor del agua
volvio frio de nuevo pero hace unos dias se recaliento lentamente de
nuevo.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este
fin de semana (clima y olas): Las condiciones para este fin de semana
no va cambiar mucho. El lunes a la tarde llega un Swell del sureste
que va durar unos 3 a 4 dias, asi preparense para la semana entrante.
Esperamos tambien las primeras lluvias en estas semanas y vemos como
va afectar las olas
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: Las optiones son las mismas de

definitivamente muy buenos spots.
