NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - Head high surf for the rest of the weekend, with a few
overhead sets. Picks up a foot on Monday with a long range SSW swell
with a 16 second period. Tuesday will stay a foot overhead with sets
getting closer together. Wednesday and Thursday will be smaller,
down to chest high up in the Nicoya Peninsula with a few freak WNW
waves coming from a swell that started up in the Aluetians last
week. Steady head high surf with an overhead set every half hour for
Friday and all weekend. Long range forecast shows more of the same,
with no big swells on the horizon but lots of consistent head high
to overhead surf and less rain in the forecast.
Caribbean - Waist to chest high surf greets Sunday's surfers, which
will disappear quickly Monday and drop to knee high by Tuesday.
Wednesday and Thursday will stay small, but Friday afternoon brings
some more chest high surf which should stick around over the
weekend.

AREA REPORTS (sent in on 10/28)
** From Louis at Hotel Las Tortugas in Playa Grande -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
The latter part of the week saw light offshores, sunny skies, and
small but reasonably fun surf. Friday the wind switched onshore by
mid morning but the waves were still fun at waist to chest high.
Friday night the rain came down hard, and Saturday morning we've
seen some cloud cover with the sun trying to break through, with the
ocean glassy but the waves a bit mixed up.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar
este fin >de semana (clima y olas): Still a somewhat fun little
swell in the water, >so could be fun, though the predicted bad
weather from the hurricane could >mean onshore winds and messy
conditions.
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
seems to have the >occasional fun wave while north and south it's a
little weaker.
NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS- Noticias y dias especiales: The turtles

** From Diana at Pura Mar Surf Shop in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
This week we had two days of bright blue skys and light off-shores!
It was like a miracle. The ocean finally looked relaxed after being
blown into a frenzy for a month by on-shore winds. The water is
considerably cleaner after a break in the rain. Waves are waist high
and pretty fun. Esta semana tuvimos dos dias de cielos celestes y
vientos livianos off-shore! Era como un milagro. El mar por fin
parecia descansar despues de estar batido para un mes por vientos on-
shore. El agua esta mucho mas limpia despues de un descanso de
lluvia. Las olas son de a la cintura y muy divertidas.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar
este fin de semana (clima y olas): It rained really hard this
morning just before daylight, and today is humid again. Waves are
going to me small, but conditions are much better than they've been
in weeks. Expect to surf in the mornings. Llovio muy fuerte esta
manana justo antes del amanecer y hoy otra vez es muy humido. Las
olas estaran pequenas pero las condiciones son mucho mejores de lo
que han sido en muchas semanas. Surfea este fin de semana en las
mananas.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: There are nice waves at Pico
Pequeno and at the beach by the rivermouth. Hay buenas olas por Pico
Pequeno y en la playa junto a la boca del rio.
** From Witchs Rick Surf Camp in Tamarindo -
It was a spectacular day in Tamarindo (weather wise) today. The
waves were small but the conditions were perfect. Off shore breeze,
sunny... aaaaahhh. A new swell is on the horizon and is set to stay
with us from Tomorrow through Sunday! Look for head high waves and
(hopefully) more off shore wind for the next few days, at least.

in, bringing 4 to 6 foot waves, nice form. For the weekend we have
baby 2 to 3 foot waves, soft peaks, great for beginners. Good time
to practice up on your skills. Choppy conditions with rain.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a

Tamano de las olas y condiciones: It's raining like crazy and it has been
for...seems like a long time. The ocean isn't really the color of water that
you'd want to swim in, but there ARE waves. The on-shore wind that has been
blowing for weeks has created washing-machine-like conditions. If you do decide
to go in the water, make sure you use some kind of disinfectant in your ears
afterward because ear infections are common in these conditions. Esta lloviendo
de locos desde hace...parece que desde hace mucho. El mar es el color de agua en
que de verdad no te vas a querer banar pero SI hay olas. Los vientos quen han

desinfectante en los oidos porque las infecciones de los oidos son muy comunes
en estas condicions. WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a

bring 2-4 foot overhead surf for the rest of the weekend. With it
comes lots of rain, so get on it early an hour before high tide. By
Monday it drops off two feet, and by Tuesday it's down to head high
with a freak overhead sets from the WNW. By Friday another South
swell shows up bringing 1 foot overhead surf with a long 17 second
period. The sets get more frequent next Saturday, but overall the
swell is short lived. By next Tuesday, some NW swell fills in the
Guanacaste coast with more overhead waves.
Caribbean - It's Carnival on the Caribbean coast. Check out Limon -
the parties, the drinks, the bands, and the dancing. No surf though
expected, although hurricanes are known to sprout off the coast in

Pacific - The mackin SW with an 18 second period has arrived to
bring 2-4 foot overhead surf for the rest of the weekend. With it
comes lots of rain, so get on it early an hour before high tide. By
Monday it drops off two feet, and by Tuesday it's down to head high
with a freak overhead sets from the WNW. By Friday another South
swell shows up bringing 1 foot overhead surf with a long 17 second
period. The sets get more frequent next Saturday, but overall the
swell is short lived. By next Tuesday, some NW swell fills in the
Guanacaste coast with more overhead waves.
Caribbean - It's Carnival on the Caribbean coast. Check out Limon -
the parties, the drinks, the bands, and the dancing. No surf though
expected, although hurricanes are known to sprout off the coast in
October.

AREA REPORTS (sent in on 10/1)
** From Louis at Hotel Las Tortugas in Playa Grande -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
The ocean has not settled down yet and the surf has been sketchy at
best.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar
este fin de semana (clima y olas): Not much, but the weather is
showing signs of mellowing out and there are cold fronts to the
north which are a good sign.
** From Travis at Witchs Rick Surf Camp in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS: Rain, rain and more rain… and
wind. Conditions, over the last 7 days have been the worst we've
seen around
here in quite a while. It wasn't until yesterday that we had what
could be called ride-able waves. Today, the sky is clear and the
wind is considerably less blustery.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves): We still have a
good swell hitting our coast so if the rain and wind will agree to a
cease fire, we should get some good surfing this weekend. Expect
chest to head high waves on the Northwest Coast of Costa Rica
through the weekend.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA: Surfers here have
their collective fingers crossed that conditions will allow for some
high quality surf this weekend. The direction of this weekend's
swell should make for happy surfers at Grande, Negra and Avellanas.
NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS- WRSC's hotel and restaurant are currently
closed for renovations until October 15th but we are still offering
beginner surf lessons, board rentals and boat trips to Witch's and
Ollie's. Be sure to plan a visit to WRSC on Saturday, October 15th
for our GRAND REOPENING PARTY! Come have a great meal with the best
cocktails in town in our shiny new digs.

WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar

swell. Even with the onshores there are still those windows, like
mid tide coming up that can still be a blast for those that are
there at the right time.

AREA REPORTS (sent in on 10/1)
** From Louis at Hotel Las Tortugas in Playa Grande -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
The ocean has not settled down yet and the surf has been sketchy at
best.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar
este fin de semana (clima y olas): Not much, but the weather is
showing signs of mellowing out and there are cold fronts to the
north which are a good sign.
** From Travis at Witchs Rick Surf Camp in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS: Rain, rain and more rain… and
wind. Conditions, over the last 7 days have been the worst we've
seen around
here in quite a while. It wasn't until yesterday that we had what
could be called ride-able waves. Today, the sky is clear and the
wind is considerably less blustery.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves): We still have a
good swell hitting our coast so if the rain and wind will agree to a
cease fire, we should get some good surfing this weekend. Expect
chest to head high waves on the Northwest Coast of Costa Rica
through the weekend.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA: Surfers here have
their collective fingers crossed that conditions will allow for some
high quality surf this weekend. The direction of this weekend's
swell should make for happy surfers at Grande, Negra and Avellanas.
NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS- WRSC's hotel and restaurant are currently
closed for renovations until October 15th but we are still offering
beginner surf lessons, board rentals and boat trips to Witch's and
Ollie's. Be sure to plan a visit to WRSC on Saturday, October 15th
for our GRAND REOPENING PARTY! Come have a great meal with the best
cocktails in town in our shiny new digs.
We'll see you here! Pura Vida y Buenas Olas! Travis Call - Positive

It stays headhigh with an occasional overhead set all through the

AREA REPORTS (sent in on 9/24)
** From Louis at Hotel Las Tortugas in Playa Grande -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
A tropical depression is holding over Costa Rica and our area is not
surfable.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar
este fin de semana (clima y olas): Even though the tides are moving
into the morning window and what we are experiencing here in Playa
Grande is not really that bad, we don't expect the on shore wind to
stop or the "chocolate milk" to clear by the week end.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: Forget it.
** From Diana at Pura Mar Surf Shop in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
The second half of this past week was very stormy and rainy as a
tropical front passed through. It's not raining much anymore, but we
haven't seen the sun in a few days. For two days the ocean was the
color of chocolate milk, but today it looks almost like water. The
stormy wind has kicked up the ocean into a wash-machine-like froth.
I don't recommend surfing until the water cleans up a little. En la
ultima parte de esta semana llego un temporal. Ya no esta lloviendo,
pero no hemos visto el sol en varios dias. Para dos dias el mar
tenia el color de leche de chocolate pero ahora casi parece agua
otra vez. Los vientos tormentosos han hecho del mar un remolino como
una lavadora. Yo no recomeindo surfear hasta que le agua se limpie
un poco mas.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar
este fin de semana (clima y olas): The storm system is passing and I
expect to see the sun today or tomorrow. The ocean will take a while
to settle and clean up again. It might be a good weekend to be lazy
and enjoy the rainy season! El temporale esta pasando y espero ver
el sol o hoy o manana. El mar necesitara un poco de tiempo para
calmarse y limpiarse. Este puede ser un buen fin de semana para
descansar y disfrutar del invierno.

opening date yet, but I imagine it will be near the end of October.

** From Travis at Witch Rick Surf Camp in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS: It was another weekend full of
chest to head high waves in Guanacaste. Off-shore winds have
continued to bless our beaches, though not as frequently as last
week. It was another epic day at Witch's and Ollie's on Friday and
the SW swell that arrived Tuesday night has
continued to pound the coast with overhead waves. The tides haves
shifted so that high tide is in the middle of the day making the low
tide breaks better for early morning & sunset sessions. The "green"
season has however, reared its rainy head once again creating some
afternoon glass-offs at the high tide spots.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) We are getting hit
pretty hard right now with more of the same on the horizon. Thursday
and Friday are featuring a new swell which should give way to an
even larger swell, due to arrive Wednesday morning.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - All the beaches in
Northern Costa Rica should have, at least, head high waves this
weekend. The direction of the swell(s) should allow for bigger waves
at all of the following breaks: Playa Grande – GRANDE Avellanas –
River Mouth in the morning, reef in the afternoon. Negra - likely to
be very big. Witch's Rock & Ollie's Point won't be for the faint of
heart with 10 feet of swell. Plan your boat trip according to your
confidence level, and your ability to replace your board!
NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS- WRSC has recently added a TV "AS BIG AS
YOUR ASS" behind the bar. You can now watch our homemade surf videos
and special features while eating a ridiculous amount of nachos and
sipping on your favorite libation. We are also featuring the musical
stylings of Navil Rodriguez on Friday nights. WRSC is the best place
in town to cap off a great day of surfing or to start your night off
right. We'll see you here! Pura Vida y Buenas Olas! Travis Call -

NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - Extreme tide shifts this week so expect so major drift and
current. 1-2 foot overhead surf Monday and Tuesday from the SSW with
a 14 second period. Then on Wednesday a combo SW and West swell
smack the Guanacaste coast, pushing surf up to 3-5 foot overhead on
the sets. This lasts through Friday morning, before dropping slowly
down to a foot overhead by Sunday. Next Monday through Wednesday
look small, head high to overhead at best.
Caribbean - Getting smaller - from waist high down to flat by
Wednesday. Nothing expected all the way to the weekend. Some more
waist high surf expected by next Monday. The forecast can change
quickly as tropical storms can form off the coast or cross over from
the Pacific.

AREA REPORTS (sent in on 9/18)
** From Louis at Hotel Las Tortugas in Playa Grande -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
The week started off with perfect overhead surf for several days.
Even though the offshore wind has held all week to everyones
surprise, the swell has been too large and tricky to surf
comfortably for the last few days.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar
este fin de semana (clima y olas): Big and tricky. High tide is now
moving into the afternoon and the wind will become a major factor.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: We have been slipping down
into the bay toward Tamarindo and sending our guests to Avellanas
river mouth for low tide barrels in the early morning.
** From Diana at Pura Mar Surf Shop in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
It's pretty crazy out there today! A big south swell is peaking out
and unfortunately closing out at a lot of places too. Pico Pequeno
was breaking right this morning half way to Zullymar. Wave height is
between chest to a foot overhead and the wind is off shore. Hoy el
esta de locos! Un buen swell del sur esta a su maximo pero
disafortunadamente esta tambien cerrando en muchos lugares. Pico
Pequeno estaba bien esta manana, quebrando hasta casi Zullymar. El
tamano de las olas es de al pecho de a un pie sobre la cabeza. El
viento esta off-shore.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar
este fin de semana (clima y olas): The swell is supposed to be
peaking out today, but the waves should linger around through the
weekend. If the wind keeps up this pattern, you'll be able to surf
in Tamarindo all day long and that's unusual! El swell esta
supuestamente a su maximo hoy, pero tendremos olas todo el fin de
semana. Si el viento sigue asi, se va a poder surfear en Tamarindo
todo el dia y esto es poco comun!
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: Pico Pequeno is great right
now, the rivermouth works at mid tides and Langosta has got to be
gigantic. Pico Pequeno esta buenisimo, la boca del rio esta bien con
las media mareas y Langosta debe ser enorme.
** From Travis at Witch Rick Surf Camp in Tamarindo -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS: It was another weekend full of
chest to head high waves in Guanacaste. Off-shore winds have
continued to bless our beaches, though not as frequently as last
week. It was another epic day at Witch's and Ollie's on Friday and
the SW swell that arrived Tuesday night has
continued to pound the coast with overhead waves. The tides haves
shifted so that high tide is in the middle of the day making the low
tide breaks better for early morning & sunset sessions. The "green"
season has however, reared its rainy head once again creating some
afternoon glass-offs at the high tide spots.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) We are getting hit
pretty hard right now with more of the same on the horizon. Thursday
and Friday are featuring a new swell which should give way to an
even larger swell, due to arrive Wednesday morning.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - All the beaches in
Northern Costa Rica should have, at least, head high waves this
weekend. The direction of the swell(s) should allow for bigger waves
at all of the following breaks: Playa Grande – GRANDE Avellanas –
River Mouth in the morning, reef in the afternoon. Negra - likely to
be very big. Witch's Rock & Ollie's Point won't be for the faint of
heart with 10 feet of swell. Plan your boat trip according to your
confidence level, and your ability to replace your board!
NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS- WRSC has recently added a TV "AS BIG AS
YOUR ASS" behind the bar. You can now watch our homemade surf videos
and special features while eating a ridiculous amount of nachos and
sipping on your favorite libation. We are also featuring the musical
stylings of Navil Rodriguez on Friday nights. WRSC is the best place
in town to cap off a great day of surfing or to start your night off
right. We'll see you here! Pura Vida y Buenas Olas! Travis Call -

** 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 has been big and mixed up. Onshore winds most of the day
with victory at sea conditions.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar
este fin de semana (clima y olas): The surf will be coming down a
bit and if the wind cooperates it could be really good.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a

for the low tide bombs with just a few of my friends.
NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS- Noticias y dias especiales: John Lyman

Avellanas. Get a cool surfing photo of you. Check it out.
** From Samara Surf School on the Nicoya Peninsula -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
The swell is back! Big 5 to 6 foot waves, good form.7 foot close
outs rolling in on the outside. Nice sunset sesh for beginners,
perfect whitewater to practice on. 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): The swell expected to hold over
the weekend, but will back down to the normal 4 to 5 foot waves
during high tides, and nice whitewater during low tides. Lots of
double waves rolling in, pretty choppy but glassy after the
rainstorms.
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. LONG RIDES THIS
WEEK!
NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS- Noticias y dias especiales: The conditions
in Samara are bigger now, great for intermediate and advanced
surfers, so all surfers can come enjoy Samara. Waves are perfect for
beginners right now, so if you've always wanted to learn surfing
come on down or over! Pura Vida
** From Rancho Coral in Playa Esterillos -
Local Climate: Rainny, Air Temp: 91F. Water Temp 87F, Direction &
Height: South 6 ft., Sea Surface: Glass, Wind: South 0-3 MPH,
Sunrise: 5:31 AM, Sunset: 6:12 PM, Current Condition: We have a big
south on the way again this week, Pura Vida!
** From Brice at Land Assurance in Dominical -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
The waves are big but not as big as we were expecting. They are
about double overhead on average but closing out and sloppy. I
haven't been down to the point but imagine that is where all the
surfers are (or at Pavones).
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar
este fin de semana (clima y olas): I imagine that every day this
swell goes by the waves will get better. They need to be a bit
smaller for the beach to work and I think that will happen Saturday.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a
surfear este fin de semana en su area: I'm guessing Punto Dominical
but have been to busy to get down there.
