NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - Waves will be headhead to overhead Tuesday through Thursday, coming from the WSW and SW. Lots of set waves, and still lots of rain showers. Friday the weather clears up, but the waves clear out leaving cleaner chest to head high surf. Saturday and Sunday morning stay small, but by Sunday evening a few overhead sets show at sunset. By next Monday a SW swell greets the new week with surf overhead, growing to 2 foot overhead by next Wednesday.
Caribbean - Waist high surf Tuesday, with the sets getting more infrequent throughout the day. Wednesday and the rest of the week will be knee high with a rare waist high set at the remote beaches. The first strong NE swell shows up on the radar a week from Tuesday, 11/5.

AREA REPORTS
** From Colin at Witchs Rock Surf Camp in Tamarindo (10/25)-
Another sunny day. I don't think it has rained at all this entire week, which is a welcome relief from this otherwise monsoonal rainy season. Waves are good too, with chest to shoulder high waves breaking out in front of our hotel, and the conditions are still glassy and its almost 1:00 pm. Right now, the tide is rising and the waves are a bit slower than earlier, but still very surfable. I'd suggest taking out the longboard for some fun rides. Water quality is improving, due to the lack of rain. The bay is clearing up and the ocean is starting to look inviting again. Lets, hope this continues. A month from now, we will be wondering if the constant deluge this rainy season was real. We are expecting the swell to pick up over the next few days. Keep checking back for updates.
** From photographer John Lyman, Lyman Photos in Playa Negra - (10/27)
We have had beautiful sunny skies with no rain for the last few days. It rained a bit today but that is normal for this time of year. The surf has been small with fun shape at the incoming tides. Water temp is 83 degrees and the water quality at Playa Negra is good. Look for an increase in swell from the SW for this weekend with well overhead waves with good shape. The wind should be light offshore in the mornings but coming onshore fairly early. It's a very low tide all though the mornings this week. Watch out for those rocks. The surf stays in the headhigh to overhead range through the end of the month. Happy Holloween.

AREA REPORTS
** From Colin at Witchs Rock Surf Camp in Tamarindo (10/19)-
What can I say??? It has been very rainy (extreme flooding throughout Costa Rica) and the result is chocolate brown water in Tamarindo accompanied with non-stop onshore winds for the past week, not the best surfing conditions. I guess that's why its called "The Wet Season".
On a brighter note, there is swell!!! Its been head high for the past week. Hopefully, the winds will clean up a bit in the morning. The report from Avellanas is that the water was much clearer with lots of potential if someone can turn off the onshore wind machine. I'll talk to Joe!!!
** From photographer John Lyman, Lyman Photos in Playa Negra - (10/19)
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: The surf has been small and blown out for the last few days with rain pretty much 24/7. We are suppose to get less rain this upcoming week and I'll believe it when I see it. The surf should pick too out of the SW with waves on Saturday reaching in the double overhead range. If that pesky onshore wind stays down it should be fun. We have the high tide running through the mornings right now so the early birds could get some surfable waves.
NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS- Noticias y dias especiales: New bikini girls at www.lymanphotos.sbpix.com
** From Erik at SurfingNosara.com in Playa Guiones - (10/20)
Surf in Guiones today is a bit better than it has been. We have a good swell showing at 7.5 ft at 16 seconds. It is a bit out of the South with the direction of 203 degrees, but it has plenty of size to get into the bay. It is not raining at report time, but we did get some last night again. Hopefully these are the death-throws of the rainy season, and it will be nice again soon!

Raining again right now and its supoosed to grow a bit size wise so let's see what tomorrow brings but don't be afraid the waves are fine and the pollution[bad stuff] not dirt, that we could have had got flushed out months ago by the first rains !!!

NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - Monday starts out 1 to 2 foot overhead, smaller with the tide going out, and the macking sets arriving with incoming tide. Lots of chop due to the wind and rain (what else can you expect for October) but the dawn patrol will be the call for later in the week. Thursday shows the waves dropping down to overhead. As the tide fills in Friday afternoon, a new round of SW swell arrives, pushing sets up to 2 foot overhead. Saturday the waves reach their peak at 2-3 foot overhead, with even bigger freak sets every 30 minutes. It drops off two feet Sunday, and stays a foot overhead through next Tuesday.
Caribbean - The week starts out flat and stays that way. Less chance for showers since the Caribbean Sea is quiet.

AREA REPORTS
** From Louis at Hotel Las Tortugas in Playa Grande (10/14) -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: We still have relatively clean water here on this end of the bay while theTamarindo side is chocolate milk after it rains. The surf has been consistently poor this week with all the on shores in spite of the non stop swells.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas): Not much!
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a surfear este fin de semana en su area: Take a break.
** From photographer John Lyman, Lyman Photos in Playa Negra - (10/13)
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: The surf has been in the headhigh range with strong onshores 24/7. October is the height of the rainy season and we have been getting plenty of it. Not much surfing going on here. With all the muddy runoff the ocean looks like chocolate milk. Water temp is running in the low 80s.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas): More of the same as a low pressure centered just north of Costa Rica has stalled giving us mucho lluvia and plenty of that onshore wind.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a surfear este fin de semana en su area: The beach is not such a hot place to be this weekend so check the cable tv or get those things done you have been putting off.

** From Erik at SurfingNosara.com in Playa Guiones - (10/13)
The rain has let off for a bit here in Guiones, but the waves aren't yet clean. Surf height is in the head high range and the form is not good, with pretty yucky water and lots of chop. It could clean up in a day or so, but we probably won't see it today.
** From Hotel Buenisimo in Santa Teresa (Mal Pais) - (10/13)-
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: Chest high at best. Sloppy, windy, rainy conditions. Lots of brown soup from the que brada runoffs.

BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a surfear este fin de semana en su area: Not much to choose from.
** From Chuck at Walking on Water Surf Shop in Jaco (10/13) -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: Surf is surprisingly good here in Jaco, water is muddie and you need to use super sticky wax but its been clean and peaky at 3-5 ft faces . Its pouring down again and I will tell you it's one of the longest lasting rains I have seen, Lorenzo and I were talking about one in like 92 0r 93 that lasted almost nonstop for 2 weeks so if this one gets backed up by another low pressure we may have a record runner! Sorry for the lowlying homes around, they are just getting hammered . Drive safe and if you want sun go to the caribe side, Say hi to Herschel in Puerto Viejo for us !! Chuck and the CREW at W.O.W.

NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - Monday starts out 1 to 2 foot overhead, smaller with the tide going out, and the macking sets arriving with incoming tide. Lots of chop due to the wind and rain (what else can you expect for October) but the dawn patrol will be the call for later in the week. Thursday shows the waves dropping down to overhead. As the tide fills in Friday afternoon, a new round of SW swell arrives, pushing sets up to 2 foot overhead. Saturday the waves reach their peak at 2-3 foot overhead, with even bigger freak sets every 30 minutes. It drops off two feet Sunday, and stays a foot overhead through next Tuesday.
Caribbean - The week starts out flat and stays that way. Less chance for showers since the Caribbean Sea is quiet.

AREA REPORTS
** From Louis at Hotel Las Tortugas in Playa Grande (10/14) -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: We still have relatively clean water here on this end of the bay while theTamarindo side is chocolate milk after it rains. The surf has been consistently poor this week with all the on shores in spite of the non stop swells.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas): Not much!
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a surfear este fin de semana en su area: Take a break.
** From photographer John Lyman, Lyman Photos in Playa Negra - (10/13)
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: The surf has been in the headhigh range with strong onshores 24/7. October is the height of the rainy season and we have been getting plenty of it. Not much surfing going on here. With all the muddy runoff the ocean looks like chocolate milk. Water temp is running in the low 80s.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas): More of the same as a low pressure centered just north of Costa Rica has stalled giving us mucho lluvia and plenty of that onshore wind.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a surfear este fin de semana en su area: The beach is not such a hot place to be this weekend so check the cable tv or get those things done you have been putting off.
NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS- Noticias y dias especiales: Because the surf is shitty, check out the bikini girls at www.lymanphotos.sbpix.com
** From Erik at SurfingNosara.com in Playa Guiones - (10/13)
The rain has let off for a bit here in Guiones, but the waves aren't yet clean. Surf height is in the head high range and the form is not good, with pretty yucky water and lots of chop. It could clean up in a day or so, but we probably won't see it today.
** From Hotel Buenisimo in Santa Teresa (Mal Pais) - (10/13)-
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: Chest high at best. Sloppy, windy, rainy conditions. Lots of brown soup from the que brada runoffs.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas): Stormy, windy conditions are expected to increase. Small, sloppy swell.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a surfear este fin de semana en su area: Not much to choose from.
** From Chuck at Walking on Water Surf Shop in Jaco (10/13) -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: Surf is surprisingly good here in Jaco, water is muddie and you need to use super sticky wax but its been clean and peaky at 3-5 ft faces . Its pouring down again and I will tell you it's one of the longest lasting rains I have seen, Lorenzo and I were talking about one in like 92 0r 93 that lasted almost nonstop for 2 weeks so if this one gets backed up by another low pressure we may have a record runner! Sorry for the lowlying homes around, they are just getting hammered . Drive safe and if you want sun go to the caribe side, Say hi to Herschel in Puerto Viejo for us !! Chuck and the CREW at W.O.W. SURF !
** From Andrea at Waves CR Surf Camp in Playa Hermosa -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: 3 a 4 pies, desordenado, mucho viento, tormenta. No ha parado de llover en una semana
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas): Al parecer va a seguir lloviendo, se aproxima un swell
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a surfear este fin de semana en su area: Jaco, puede ser Playa Hermosa se arregle

CR Surf Report for 9-30-07
Costa Rica's Weekly Surf Report
Volume 9, Issue 401
September 30th, 2007
NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - Waves are chest to head high up north and a foot bigger south of Hermosa. The SSW swell arrives Monday as the tide fills in, and waves will increase to 1-2 foot overhead. The same size swell sticks around through Wednesday, with bigger sets in the morning. Then it drops a foot for Thursday and Friday. Saturday a SW swell fills in the south facing beaches with more 1 foot overhead waves for the next three days. After that, it looks to be small (chest to head) since there's no other wave makers out there.
Caribbean - The right coast starts out with waist high surf, but by Monday is knee high and then it is flat - great snorkeling conditions through Friday. Of course this area is prime time for hurricane formation so the forecast can change quickly. But for now, flatness.

AREA REPORTS
** From Louis at Hotel Las Tortugas in Playa Grande (9/29) -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: The morning and evening glass offs are bringing rideable sessions in the head high range. Although the wind is not off shore, the wave shape is generally OK and uncrowded. This little swell is particularly clean.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas): As we move toward the morning high tides, the possibilities for better surf are increasing.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a surfear este fin de semana en su area: There are peaks all up and down the beach.
** From Colin at Witchs Rock Surf Camp in Tamarindo - (9/26)
Today the surf backed off a bit from the overhead surf that was here all weekend. The report from Witch's Rock was shoulder high with the occasional head high set, but perfect A-frame peaks. Out in front of our hotel the surf was in the waist to chest high range but very fun even after the wind came up this afternoon. The forecast is more small surf until Sunday / Monday when the waves should get overhead again.
For those that care, Luis Castro traveled down to Mal Pais / Santa Teresa for the first surf contest of the season. He won the airshow with some sick spinning aerials. I have no idea what to call some of the maneuvers he does. All I know is that he can blast. He also entered the Bodyboarding division and won that too. Nice job Luis!!!
** From photographer John Lyman, Lyman Photos in Playa Negra - (9/28)
The surf here has been small the last couple days. Waist to chest high and mixed up. Onshore wind early. The full moon low tide running through the mornings doesn'r help much either. Partly cloudy in the mornings and raining in the afternoons. Water temp is 87 degrees. Look for continued small and weak through the weekend with an increase from the SW for the start of the week.

Good Sunday folks... How are my people today? I ate chicken wings and drank great beer last night, watched my Gators lose, but everything can't always be perfect... Surf today in Guiones should be pretty good, as we have a 4 foot at 16 seconds swell in the water, at 216 degrees, which is about our best direction, but it is raining and the water is pretty dirty... Here is the note from Ry-dog our surf reporter for the next little while... "Hey, there was some pretty heavy rain late last night/early this morning. as such, the water is looking fairly sucio and there was not a soul out there at report time. unfortunate, because last night was small but super fun...nice formed waves which i shredded diligently with the Webskins. it is still raining lightly at the moment, but there is a chance it could clear up this afternoon and perhaps be some good surfing. It looked like there was still a few little ones trying to roll in right now." And I do have some good news on the bridge front!!! According to Bobbi Johnson, who is about as in there as you can get in Nosara, there is a temporary bridge being put in very soon... If you have more details, shoot them over, and we can keep the folks informed... Thanks for the note Bobbi..

AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: Head High - some overhead sets. Scattered thunderstorms.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas): SSW swell should hang around for a few days. Thunderstorms continue.

Volume 9, Issue 401
September 30th, 2007
NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - Waves are chest to head high up north and a foot bigger south of Hermosa. The SSW swell arrives Monday as the tide fills in, and waves will increase to 1-2 foot overhead. The same size swell sticks around through Wednesday, with bigger sets in the morning. Then it drops a foot for Thursday and Friday. Saturday a SW swell fills in the south facing beaches with more 1 foot overhead waves for the next three days. After that, it looks to be small (chest to head) since there's no other wave makers out there.
Caribbean - The right coast starts out with waist high surf, but by Monday is knee high and then it is flat - great snorkeling conditions through Friday. Of course this area is prime time for hurricane formation so the forecast can change quickly. But for now, flatness.

The last couple days we have had plenty of rain. Raining all day but the surf has been fun anyways. The wind has been offshore most of the time and the waves are head high with bigger sets. The water temp is in the low 80s. Lots of runoff into the ocean from all the rain. We have a good swell coming for this weekend. SW with a perfect direction for Playa Negra. Look for well overhead waves with good shape staying with us through the first half of this upcoming week. High tide is running through the mornings and that's a good thing for Playa Negra. It should be real fun at Playa Avellanas as well. Crowds are at a minimum this time of year.

Well, it isn't firing, but it is the best it has been in a little while... some head high waves that look make-able... The wind is light onshore at report time, and it didn't storm too bad last night, so it isn't as funky as it has been lately. All-in-all, folks would be skipping work in FL, so I guess it is all prospective. I think I will grab a surf after throwing this report up. We have a low tide that passed at 6AM, so it should be holding up a bit more later in the morning. I surfed last night and caught four closeouts and paddled in... couldn't find a make-able section... I only saw one guy get a good wave, and it was Luigi back-dooring a left barrel, it was sweet, but the ride was less than 3 seconds. Hey, has anyone driven to Nicoya this week?

Waves are fun its coming up for sure a couple of overhead ones at Escondida came thru this afternoon . Barranca could be the call for Monday A.M. Conditions were not so good for Oeste today too much fresh push from the south and it was a bit messy . I expect we should have some fun waves during the week as long as the wind doesn't blow ! Sandbars are nice here and with this peaky multi direccion swell its right on for us ! Pura Vida, Happy Surfing ! Chuck and the CREW at W.O.W. SURF !

AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS: Super nice low tide waves. A little bit overhead with long, hollow shoulders and lots of hoot'n and holler'n by the sea monkeys.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves): At least head and a half on Sunday and a continuing strong swell through mid week next week.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA: The point might work on Sunday, but right now the beach is excellent.
NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS: I'll be leaving for Indonesia on Wednesday (where the sets are showing 20' faces on wetsand.com ) and will be gone for a month. I might post my Dominical beach report with the waves from the Mentawais just to make you jealous.

The wind is light onshore at report time, and it didn't storm too bad last night, so it isn't as funky as it has been lately. All-in-all, folks would be skipping work in FL, so I guess it is all prospective. I think I will grab a surf after throwing this report up. We have a low tide that passed at 6AM, so it should be holding up a bit more later in the morning. I surfed last night and caught four closeouts and paddled in... couldn't find a make-able section... I only saw one guy get a good wave, and it was Luigi back-dooring a left barrel, it was sweet, but the ride was less than 3 seconds. Hey, has anyone driven to Nicoya this week?

AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: Well Im a bit late but thanks to [in part] CR SURF we are busy ! Waves are fun its coming up for sure a couple of overhead ones at Escondida came thru this afternoon . Barranca could be the call for Monday A.M. Conditions were not so good for Oeste today too much fresh push from the south and it was a bit messy . I expect we should have some fun waves during the week as long as the wind doesn't blow ! Sandbars are nice here and with this peaky multi direccion swell its right on for us ! Pura Vida, Happy Surfing ! Chuck and the CREW at W.O.W. SURF !

** From Brice at Land Assurance in Dominical (9/22)-
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS: Super nice low tide waves. A little bit overhead with long, hollow shoulders and lots of hoot'n and holler'n by the sea monkeys.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves): At least head and a half on Sunday and a continuing strong swell through mid week next week.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA: The point might work on Sunday, but right now the beach is excellent.
NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS: I'll be leaving for Indonesia on Wednesday (where the sets are showing 20' faces on wetsand.com ) and will be gone for a month. I might post my Dominical beach report with the waves from the Mentawais just to make you jealous.

NATIONAL FORECAST
Pacific - Waves will be overhead on Monday on Tuesday, with sets every twenty minutes a foot bigger. By Wednesday the SSW swell dies a bit, down to head high with plenty of overhead set waves at the south facing beaches. Stays the same for Thursday and Friday morning. By the evening session, some straight south swell sets arrive at 1-2 foot overhead. Saturday dawn patrol is the call with surf 2 foot overhead, bigger sets down south. Due to the angle, some spots will be small since they are protected. This swell will strengthen by next Monday, up to 2-3 foot overhead through Sept. 25th.
Caribbean - Whatever minumal surf there is, mostly knee high with a rare bigger set at the reefs, will be gone by Wednesday. Then it's flat through Saturday, with a tiny chance of tropical waves for the following week.

AREA REPORTS
** From Louis at Hotel Las Tortugas in Playa Grande (9/15) -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: The tides have moved to the morning session and the waves this week have been exceptional for this time of the year. I saw someone take off deep on a left on the south side of the main break and get totally barreled for a hundred yards on a slow motion, stand up, tube on Friday afternoon. You had to pick 'em, but the rides of a lifetime are possible. The wind for the last couple of days has been off shore, or slightly on shore, for nearly ideal conditions for a somewhat crossed up swell.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas): The swell is a little mixed up, so only a lucky wind condition will pull some shape out of it at this well overhead size.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a surfear este fin de semana en su area: As it gets bigger, tuck into the bay toward Tamarindo .
** From photographer John Lyman, Lyman Photos in Playa Negra - (9/14)
This is the best time of year for surf at Playa Negra. The past few days have seen smaller surf in the head high range with partly cloudy skies and some afternoon rain. The water temp is 84 degrees. We have a SW swell starting to show today and should peak out by the end of this weekend. Head high to a couple feet overhead with fair to good shape. We might be in for a little more rain and onshore wind coming up this weekend. With the higher tides starting to run through the mornings, get out there early. This is also the most uncrowded time of year here at Playa Negra. Enjoy!

** From Erik at SurfingNosara.com in Playa Guiones - (9/16)
My Gators worked Tennessee yesterday... we found the game online for ten bucks and watched it streaming in the office, Florida/Tennessee on one computer, the ASP World Tour on the other... great afternoon, then we went and surfed empty head high Guiones last night... Anyways, Surf this morning is in the head high range, it is super glassy, but we had a dead high tide at 6:30 this morning so it needs some time to start breaking good... if you are longboarding, get out there, it looks pretty fun for the thicker equipment. My rule of thumb for tides here is that if it is under 2 feet overhead, you should wait for a lower tide, at least low to mid... Over 2 feet overhead, the high tide, depending on the angle, can get real good, with mushier sections outside, but when it is bigger you can get real heavy inside sections... it is fun getting to know this wave so well. There were three folks out at report time. Have a great Sunday, E.

AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: Chest high - storm conditions most of the day.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas): Chest to head high by Sunday. The wet season continues.
BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a surfear este fin de semana en su area: South facing beaches.
NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS- Noticias y dias especiales: Surf Contest next weekend behind La Lora north of Playa Santa Teresa.
** From Brice at Land Assurance in Dominical (9/15)-
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS: The waves are head high and peaky. Too soft at high tide, but great at mid-tides.
