Breakdown:
Caribbean Coast - More pulses of ENE swell keeping it well overhead through the weekend. Then on Monday it drops a foot, two feet more Tuesday leaving it chest high by Wednesday with a couple of leftover sets.
Pacific Coast - Slowly arriving SSW swell will provide head high relief by late Friday, and hanging around through Sunday. Then on Monday some WNW swell filters in more head high waves for the Guanacaste Coast until Tuesday. Then it fades back to waist high for most of the coast.
The Long Shot - For the Pacific, continued small surf until a larger WNW swell arrives next Friday (2/10) with some South showing on the 11th with overhead sets.

1/30 - Today Playa Grande was really fun to be there with good conditions. The water was a little cold and with offshore wind nice to make the waves open and made some tricks.

Head high on the set Playa Grande was a good spot to surf in the area take some barrels or do long rides. |
Our new sister resort, Volcano Brewing Company in Lake Arenal, Costa Rica, is seeking two hotel managers, (married couples with proper experience considered) for Costa Rica’s only Microbrewery Hotel, which is located in the stunningly beautiful Volcano Region of Lake Arenal. |

Playa Negra
Larry at Playa Negra Realty

1/31 - There were plenty of longboard waves this past week and weekend. In fact, we had some pro's here showing us how it is done. These next few days are going to be more of the same with small scale swell. the direction for the area will be ideal. We will begin a real nice South swell on Friday. This should get us all back on shortboards through the weekend. Stand out locations should be at least head high! |
Wind, wind, glorious offshore wind! This week will be a standout for offshores. No matter where you choose to surf it will be clean and perfect! |
Salvemonos.org - We are saving monkeys one bridge at a time. Stop by Luna Llena Hotel or Azul Profundo Boutique in Tamarindo and buy a souvenir T, sticker, or mug. |
Playa Guiones
Oscar at Coconut Harry's Surf Shop |
2/1 - Really small waves between knees to chest high range. Time to go in longboards and enjoy the rides. |
Best places around, all small some others like Marbella may be better! |
Pura Vida! |
Playa Guiones
Graham at Nosara Shack |
1/31 - Let’s hope the swell hitting Hawaii makes its way here because it looks pretty solid. Today was waist high during the morning session and stomach high sunset. |
Should start to see an increase in size starting as soon as tomorrow and good size early as Thursday. |
Enjoy the rest of the week. Book us to shoot your adventure. / 2682-0956 |

Manuel Antonio
Luis at Manuel Antonio Surf School |
8/17 - Waves not to big this week we had a pretty good swell last weekend but now kind of small. Weather is nice sunny during the day and later on the afternoon we have some rain. Typical this time of the year. |
The place you can surf this week, my best bet would be Playitas , Manuel Antonio area. |
None at this time. |
