NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - The smaller chest to head high surf Saturday will pick up
a foot on Sunday, with a great dawn patrol planned with swells
running a 15 second period. By Monday south swell surf will be be a
foot overhead on the north coast, and some 2 foot overhead sets show
up along the southern beaches. Tuesday it starts to fade, and by
Wednesday it's down to headhigh at best. Thursday and Friday look
chest high and another south swell pulse pushes it back up to
headhigh next Saturday. Not to be too big the following week, only
headhigh to overhead but clean conditions.
Caribbean - Flat all weekend and through next week, with some knee
high relief Friday morning, but nothing to brag about. Great
snorkeling and diving conditions! (www.cashewhilllodge.co.cr)

AREA REPORTS (sent in on 8/26)
** From Louis at Hotel Las Tortugas in Playa Grande -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
Today (Fri.) we had some of the prettiest head high surf I've seen
in
awhile. The wind was decidedly off shore, clear water, and a few
polite surfers to share it with.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar
este
fin de semana (clima y olas): High tides are in the morning and late
afternoon so conditions look pretty good for at least one session.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: All the peaks out front are
working in spite of the marginal sand.
** From Diana at Pura Mar Surf Shop in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
There's not much in the way of waves today, but we're between two
south swells. Waves this morning were waist high and tomorrow it's
supposed to start picking up again. The mornings and afternoons have
been off-shore this week with a few late-afternoon or evening rain
storms. Hoy no tenemos muchas olas pero estamos entre dos swelles
del sur. Las olas esta manana estaban de a la cintura y manana
empezara a crecer otra vez. En esta semana los vientos estaban off-
shore en la manana y en la tarde con algunas tormentas de lluvia en
la tarde o en la noche.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar
este fin de semana (clima y olas): By tomorrow evening we should see
the swell picking up and Sunday is predicted to be great. The tide
is in the morning so even the wind should be perfect. Manana en la
tarde seguro vamos a ver crecer las olas y debe ser muy bueno el
domingo. La marea alta es en la manana asi que el viento tambien
debe ser perfecto.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: Pico Pequeno likes these
swells and if you want really big waves check Langosta on Saturday
evening and Sunday morning. Pico Pequeno es bueno con esos swelles y
si quiere olas mas grandes, fijese en Langosta el sabado en la tarde
y domingo en la manana.
** From Travis at WItchs Rock Surf Camp in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Last weekend was beautiful for
surfers in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Offshore winds and chest high
waves made for a lot of fun around here. We are "between swells" at
the moment, with the next one set to arrive this Saturday. Morning
and Sunset sessions have been perfect over the last several days
with a rainstorm coming through, almost everyday, at 4pm; just to
calm down the wind for the perfect, glassy sunset.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - This weekend's
swell is likely to produce head-high waves. Expect more rain storms
in the afternoons, as rainy season is well underway. As usual at
this time of year, early mornings and around sunset, the wind will
be at its glassy best.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - All the beaches in
Northern Costa Rica should have chest to head high waves this
weekend. The new SW swell is arriving on Saturday and will be
picking up throughout the weekend. Once again, look for Avellanas,
Witch's Rock, Ollie's Point, Playa Negra, Play Grande, and Nosara to
have glassy surf in the chest to head high range. While all the
breaks should boast good waves this weekend, the direction of the
swell set to arrive on Sunday/Monday should make for great surfing,
especially at Playa Avellana, Playa Grande and Witch's Rock.
NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS- Witch's Rock Surf Camp has just added a
TV "AS BIG AS YOUR A**" behind the bar. You can now watch our home-
made surf videos while eating a ridiculous amount of nachos and
sipping on your favorite libation. Pura Vida, Travis Call - Witch's
Rock Surf Camp
** From John Lyman Photos at Pablo's Picasso with the Playa Negra
surf report:
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
The surf for the last few days has been on the small gutless size.
Super high tides in the mornings haven't helped. After the afternoon
rains stop there have been some nice glassoffs at some of the more
secluded spots. Great for longboards.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar
este fin de semana (clima y olas): Looks like more of the same. We
still have the high tides in the mornings for the next few days but
not as high as the last few days. That will help to keep the waves
in the chest to headhigh range. Look for those afternoon glassoffs
as the tide will be perfect for fun surf with no crowds.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: The left south of the main
peak in the mornings has been fun with the sandbar set up perfectly.
The main peak in the afternoon with the incoming tide.
NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS- Noticias y dias especiales: Lyman is
shooting insane photos at Playa Negra. If you are coming, e-mail him
to arrange a killer photo session. lymanphoto@...
** From Harry at Coconut Harry's in Playa Guiones (Nosara) -
It's chest high in Nosara (Playa Guiones) now, but still fun. We'll
wait for your report. Take a look at this pic below -
Christian 'taking off'! Pura Vida ...... Coconut Harry
** From Samara Surf School on the Nicoya Peninsula -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
There is still some swell, 4 to 5 foot waves during high tide. Nice
sunset sesh's, glassy after the rain, choppy and windy with the rain.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar
este fin de semana (clima y olas): Swell expected to back off, maybe
3 to 4 foot waves, soft peaks, great for intermediate surfers.
Perfect conditions for beginners for whitewater. Choppy conditions
with rain.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: The best surfing spot in
Samara is right in front of the Las Brisas Del Pacifico hotel. No
crowds or localism, with a nice clean perfect wave.
NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS- Noticias y dias especiales: The conditions
in Samara are perfect for beginners right now, so if you've always
wanted to learn surfing come on down or over! Pura Vida
** From Chuck at Wow Surf Shop in Jaco -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
W.O.W. surf is too nice right now , fun headhigh peaks in Jaco and
some overhead [slightly] at Hermosa , winds been favorable in
variable and not too much rain in our area , the water was super
nice out front yesterday afternoon with plenty of waves and my
morning session at Hermosa was good too if a bit lumpy but the sets
were just fine ! Dont know whats going to come by for the next
couple of days but expect some fun beachbreak surf at least ! Juan
Carlos Naranjo just got a new board delivered by Craig Cronin one of
the shapers of ERIE surfboards www.eriesurfboards.com and he's just
killing it ! Watch out for more of these guys boards and riders in
the water , its all good ! Oh speaking of good [or not] our town
just got inundated by a container of CHINA made cheap surfboards and
are even being peddled by one of our amatuer surf directors ?
Imagine that , hey if we don't sell more of the REAL SURFERS boards
then who is going to sponsor the young hot rippers ? Will MIKE
DOLSEY surf designs be an official sponsor of the Natl Circuit or
would he or his distributors ever ride one ? ? Would anybody even
ride em [maybe one]? Come on man , surf lessons on BZs is one thing
and dont ask Mike Hubbard [ BODYBOARD CHAMP] about BZs sponsorship
you would be shocked about how much they put back in to surf and
related sports[look at the rescue sleds for TOW-IN] . Lets keep our
boards surfer built and surfer sanded and surfer ridden or maybe we
better buy stock in WALMART ! LOOK OUT CARTON and BANZAII and
FISCHER BRO'S here comes the CHINA JUNK ! Anyways I dont care who
you buy your boards from but make sure they are "surfer built"
and "SOULFILLED" and let the Chinese guys make cheap bicycles and
toys and ladies underwear , no real surfer would ride one of these
anyways ! Thanks and keep the soulfire burning , Chuck and the Crew
at W.O.W. surf !

AREA REPORTS (sent in on 8/19)
** From Louis at Hotel Las Tortugas in Playa Grande -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
We started the week with beautiful large surf (overhead and a half)
on the south end of the bay. It was a little large for our end of
the bay without hard off shores and somewhat disorganized. Also the
sand is not as flat as it should be. Our afternoon high tides have
further added to the possibility of imperfect conditions toward the
end of the week.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar
este fin de semana (clima y olas): There should be some rideable
waves in our area if it rains or glasses off in the afternoon.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: It will probably be smoother
on the Tamarindo side (5 min. down the service road from the hotel)
unless it drops considerably, in which case we'll surf in front of
the hotel.
** From John Lyman Photos at Pablo's Picasso with the Playa Negra
surf report:
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:

on the sets. The last few days have seen hard onshores and victory
at sea.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar
este fin de semana (clima y olas): Look for that heavy onshore to
subside and maybe even a bit offshore on Sunday and Monday mid
mornings. The surf will drop a bit but stay in the fun size at head
high to a bit bigger on the sets. Look for it pick back up Tuesday
and Wednesday to a few feet overhead from a more south direction.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: It's a full moon, really low
tide in the mornings all week so hit those low tide spots like

stuff!
** From Samara Surf School on the Nicoya Peninsula -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamaño de las olas y condiciones:
The full moon brought swell, 4 to 6 foot soft peak waves. Very
choppy when raining. Great whitewater for beginners. Big close outs

NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - This will be a great week to be on the Costa Rica Pacific
Coast and catch the Rabbit Kekai Surf Contest in Boca Barranca. Then
on Sunday afternoon another SSW swell squeezes past the Galapagos to
give some overhead surf relief, back up to overhead. The sets start
coming with the incoming tide, and get a foot bigger by Tuesday.
Wednesday and Thursday (8-17 and 18) will be 2 foot overhead with a
9 second period with some 4 foot overhead sets at the top breaks
from a combined swell from Tropical Storm Greg and Hurricane
Fernanda. Expect the surf to stay two foot overhead from another S
swell with a 13 second period from Saturday through next Wednesday,
but after that it may be awhile since the southern Pacific looks to
be in reverse.
Caribbean - Sunday is a suprise, as storms in the Caribbean Sea
produce some wind swell, chest high with a few head high sets.
Monday it get more consistent, but by Tuesday it drops quickly, back
to waist high. Another tropical system pushes in more chest high
surf by next Sunday

Monday the SW swell fades a foot, but stays fun at chest high.
Tuesday will see a SSW bump back to overhead in the southern part of
the country, while on Wednesday the Guanacaste coast will see some
headhigh sets. Other than those days, it's going to be small until
next Sunday's evening session - when on 8-7 a few South swell
overhead nuggets start lining the horizon for the next three days.
Caribbean - Overhead surf continues on Sunday, but by the evening
the sets get farther apart. Monday the swell drops quickly to waist
high and by Tuesday, what swell? - waist high again. Wednesday and
Thursday will see a few chest high sets, but no increase in size
until next Sunday from the ESE.

NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - Headhigh surf for the weekend, with a few overhead sets at
the bigger breaks on Saturday. Sunday will stay the same, but on
Monday the SW swell fades a foot, but stays fun at chest high.
Tuesday will see a SSW bump back to overhead in the southern part of
the country, while on Wednesday the Guanacaste coast will see some
headhigh sets. Other than those days, it's going to be small until
next Sunday's evening session - when on 8-7 a few South swell
overhead nuggets start lining the horizon for the next three days.
Caribbean - Overhead surf continues on Sunday, but by the evening
the sets get farther apart. Monday the swell drops quickly to waist
high and by Tuesday, what swell? - waist high again. Wednesday and
Thursday will see a few chest high sets, but no increase in size
until next Sunday from the ESE.

AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y

overhead rangewith consistent off shores. Today the swell dropped
down to head high on the sets and the wind was jittery for part of
out going but left the shape intact.

Pacific - 1 to 2 foot overhead for the weekend with a 15 second
period Saturday (don't forget that there is a 10 foot tide swing
this weekend so the waves usually pick up on the incoming tide)
shortening to 13 seconds by Monday from the SW swell. Size drops a
little by Monday afternoon, stays overhead through Tuesday, but on
Wednesday there will be a noticable drop down to head high with only
a few bigger sets. After that, expect another drop in wave height,
with surf only chest high (head high at peak beaches) through the
following weekend and early the following week.
Caribbean - The weekend begins with fun chest to head high waves
with an occasional overhead set. By Sunday the sets get more
consistent, but not as big and on Monday it is back to waist to
chest surf. Tuesday afternoon another pulse of ESE swell fills in
with some chest high sets and from Wednesday through to next weekend
will be chest to head high, or bigger depending on the distance of

este fin de semana (clima y olas): The morning and afternoon high
tides should increase our chances of good wind conditions if the
swell doesn't get too big. The overcast skies are helping in the
afternoon, especially when it rains.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: Day break out front, and down
the service road toward Tamarindo if it gets too big.

outs roll in.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a

AREA REPORTS (sent in on 7/15)
** From Diana at Pura Mar Surf Shop in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
Tamarindo surf is small this week and has dropped even more today;
probably waist high at best. A few days have been off-shore all
morning and close to glassy at sunset. There hasn't been much rain
this week so the water is really clear. El surf in Tamarindo esta
pequeno en esta semana y hoy esta todavia mas pequeno; no mas de a
la cintura. El viento estaba off-shore hasta el medio dia durante
unos dias de esta semana y casi glassy al atardecer. Hubo poca
lluvia asi que el mar esta muy claro.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar
este fin de semana (clima y olas):This weekend will be a weekend for
sunset sessions. The swell is supposed to pick up again so we hope
not to have the late afternoon thundertsorms. Este fin de semana
sera bueno para surfear al atardecer. El swell supuestamente subira
y esperamos no tener las tormentas de los atardeceres.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: Playa Grande and Avellanas
should be the best places in the area since the surf is small. Playa
Grande y Avellanas deben ser los mejores lugares debido a las olas
pequenas.
** From Louis at Hotel Las Tortugas in Playa Grande -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
The surf at this end of the bay has been huge and out of control so
we've been slipping down the service road to the Tamarindo Estero
mouth and killing it on both sides of "Baulas" with early morning
overhead beauties. It is pretty inconsistent, but smooth.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar
este fin de semana (clima y olas): It should calm down some and
possibly be ridable elsewhere in the bay by Sunday.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: If it calms down a little we
can surf out front.
** From Harry at Coconut Harry's in Playa Guiones (Nosara) -
Hola mi amigos - it's Coconut Harry in Playa Guiones (Nosara). Huge
or BIG, like 15-18 foot faces rolling in - kinda tough to get out at
this beach break and closing out most sets. Some spots nearby are
working fairly good on this type of swell. "Olga's" was fun this
morning - a right point, surfable around the high tides. Looks like
more manageable surf by Monday. If you come to Nosara, stop by my
shop for a free, local map. Pura Vida - Coconut Harry
** From Samara Surf School on the Nicoya Peninsula -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
HUGE!!! 7 to 8 foot, good shape waves with a fast peak. 3 per set,
then 8 to 10 foot closeouts roll in. Great dawn patrol with glassy
conditions.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar
este fin de semana (clima y olas): A swell is here, the waves may
drop down to their normal swell size 4 to 5 foot, to stick through
the weekend. Good shape and glassy conditions after rainstorms.
Choppy when it is windy. During low tides some 6 to 8 foot close
outs rolling in.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a

0-3 MPH, Sunrise: 5:20 AM, Sunset: 6:03 PM, High Tide: 09:35 AM /
8.14 ft, Low Tide: 03:55 PM / 1.77 ft, Current Conditions- We have a
good sized southwest that should sustain through the weekend into
next week. Awsome Surf here at The Ranch, PURA VIDA!!
** From Brice at Land Assurance Reforestation in Dominical -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
Big, gnarly, crashing waves at Dominical. Barely surfable. Eight
people went out yesterday at high tide and within 1/2 hour two
boards were broken and one person was left out surfing.
Unfortunately, the point isn't going off (this is not uncommon when
the swell is not deep enough from the south). So, we are sort of
shut out here for a day or two. I think as the swell shrinks just a
tad, the beach will work very well. The waves have form and some
good tubes. It is just to hard to work it.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar
este fin de semana (clima y olas): Slightly smaller but still big
and strong.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: Don't know what to say.
Hermosa looked the best yesterday off the point on the north end of
the beach but I didn't go out.

NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - The solid 1-2 foot overhead surf continues Tuesday and
Wednesday, and builds Thursday up to 2-4 foot overhead, 14 second
period, with a few horizon blocking sets from the South. The
northern Nicoya peninsula may see even bigger surf from a tropical
storm up by El Salvador. Friday doesn't get any bit smaller, with
more consistent sets, and only by Saturday does it drop back to a
more manageable 1-2 foot overhead. It will drop another foot Sunday,
but stay a foot overhead through next week and by the following
Thursday (7-21) another SSW swell arrives, keeping it 2-3 foot
overhead going into the next weekend.
Caribbean - Not much surf to speak about, knee to waist high at
best, with a day of swell on Thursday from hurricanes forming
farther east. Best to head over to the Pacific Coast.

trades are sweeping out of Papagayo and hitting us with a lot of
north side shore in the afternoon during incoming.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar
este fin de semana (clima y olas):If the swell picks up a little,
the surf should be excellent for the next few days in the morning.
The afternoon session has potential if the trades can move a little
south and hit us more off shore.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: The swell is hitting the
Playa Grande end of the bay.
** From Harry at Coconut Harry's in Playa Guiones (Nosara) -
It's chest-high with occasional head-high set waves. Good shape,
though and the on-shore wind has been fairly light all day. If
you're coming to Nosara, stop by my shop for a free local map. Pura
Vida, Coconut Harry

AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamaño de las olas y condiciones:
The new moon just passed and with it came nice 4 to 5 foot waves,
good shape, nice form. Close outs during low and mid tides. Great
whitewater for beginners. After the rains hit the conditions turn
glassy with good shape.
La luna nueva acaba de pasar y trajo buenas olas de entre 1.20 y
1.50, con buena figura y forma Olas que rompen simultáneamente

y con buena forma.

The waves are shoulder high and mushy even at lower tides.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar
este fin de semana (clima y olas): Looks like the same through the
weekend with a swell coming on Monday.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: Right at the Dominical beach
is the best. Off Tortilla flats is probably the best place on the
beach but for some reason, there are strong southern currents even
without big waves. So, if this continues, put in just south of the
river mouth and let the current push you south and across the flats.
You'll stop drifting south somewhere in front of the cell tower.
I've never understood this condition and what is driving it.

NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - The solid 1-2 foot overhead surf continues Tuesday and
Wednesday, and builds Thursday up to 2-4 foot overhead, 14 second
period, with a few horizon blocking sets from the South. The
northern Nicoya peninsula may see even bigger surf from a tropical
storm up by El Salvador. Friday doesn't get any bit smaller, with
more consistent sets, and only by Saturday does it drop back to a
more manageable 1-2 foot overhead. It will drop another foot Sunday,
but stay a foot overhead through next week and by the following
Thursday (7-21) another SSW swell arrives, keeping it 2-3 foot
overhead going into the next weekend.
Caribbean - Not much surf to speak about, knee to waist high at
best, with a day of swell on Thursday from hurricanes forming
farther east. Best to head over to the Pacific Coast.

AREA REPORTS (sent in on 7/9)
** From Diana at Pura Mar Surf Shop in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
Tamarindo surf is small this week and has dropped even more today;
probably waist high at best. A few days have been off-shore all
morning and close to glassy at sunset. There hasn't been much rain
this week so the water is really clear. El surf in Tamarindo esta
pequeno en esta semana y hoy esta todavia mas pequeno; no mas de a
la cintura. El viento estaba off-shore hasta el medio dia durante
unos dias de esta semana y casi glassy al atardecer. Hubo poca
lluvia asi que el mar esta muy claro.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar
este fin de semana (clima y olas):
This weekend will be a weekend for sunset sessions. The swell is
supposed to pick up again so we hope not to have the late afternoon
thundertsorms. Este fin de semana sera bueno para surfear al
atardecer. El swell supuestamente subira y esperamos no tener las
tormentas de los atardeceres.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area:
Playa Grande and Avellanas should be the best places in the area
since the surf is small. Playa Grande y Avellanas deben ser los
mejores lugares debido a las olas pequenas.
