Playa Grande Louis at Hotel Las Tortugas	1/3 - Head high, off shore, good morning surf with Christmas crowd.
Tamarindo Joe at Witchs Rock Surf Camp	12/30 - We have some solid surf going on in Tamarindo and Playa Grande, waves coming in at chest to head high and hollow. No wetsuits either.	The surf should get considerably bigger this weekend, check the forecast image below. There is a big storm southwest of CR that should send us waves for days.	Mark your calendars for the January 10th and 11th weekend, less than 2 weeks away Witch's Rock Surf Camp will be hosting the CNS Torno Witch's Rock here at the camp with the surf contest directly in front. 911 will be broadcasting the event and Red Bull is sponsoring our Saturday-night party. We expect to have a great time so come join us. See you in the surf in Tamarindo this weekend. GO CHARGERS.
Playa Negra John Lyman Photography	1/3 - The surf has been in the fun zone the last few days with mostly sunny skies, offshore wind and shoulder to head high waves with fair to good shape. Some onshores in the afternoons. Water temp is 83 degrees.	We have the high tide running through the mornings this upcoming week. That means Playa Negra could be the spot as the SW swell fills in this weekend and in through the beginning of the work week. Check Playa Avellanas for the afternoon low tide sessions if the wind stays offshore. Could be the uncrowded hot tip.	Check www.johnlymanphotos.com for daily surf shots.
Playa Guiones Andrew at SurfingNosara.com	1/3 - Well, it's another sunny day here and conditions are good.  Surf is running in the waist high range still with maybe a bigger set here and there.  Most folks are on longboards.  Wind is light offshore if any.	We just need that swell to hit.	The lineup is full with surf students taking advantage of the smaller conditions.

Jaco Chuck at W.O.W. Surf Shop	1/3 - Hey Guys, surfs up ! A bit bigger today than its been in awhile.	This day in Las Caniculas of Costa Rican folklore stands for the month of March so I expect its going to be our first month with larger surf and its going to be hot and dry but since I see some clouds for early afternoon we may even see a bit of rain towards the end of March in the southern zone and possible sprinkle in the Central Pacific but there will be GREAT WAVES!	Anyways hope all are having a great start to the new year and getting lost of time with family in and out of the water! Pura Vida and Happy Surfing ! Chuck and the CREW at W.O.W. SURF !
