Please Note: I’m currently staying at a house in Rancho Santana, Tola, Nicaragua for a few days of surfing and relaxing.  I will be doing my surf reports from various beaches that I’ll be surfing during my trip.

Costa Rica (Nicaragua) Surf Report:

4 – 5ft  Chest to shoulder high + with poor to fair shape.

Playa Santana, Nicaragua -  The wind is onshore again this morning.  What’s the deal?  I thought it was always offshore in Nicaragua.  The wind is light onshore and the conditions looked best this morning at Panga Drops in Playa Colorado with shoulder high + sets.  Playa Santana looked to be picking up too much wind, still it looked like it could be fun with some decent corners coming through.  Playa Rosada had a couple waves, but it looked to be backwashing a bit and breaking a bit too close to the rocks to be worth it.

Hopefully, the wind will clean up a bit and give us a nice glass off session later today.

Costa Rica (Nicaragua) Tides:

We had an early morning low tide of 1.8ft @ 5:35am, moving up to a high tide of 5.4ft @ 11:51am, then dropping back down to a low tide of 2.1ft @ 6:08pm this evening.

Costa Rica (Nicaragua) Weather:

We have sunny skies with light onshore winds.  There is a little bit of a marine layer (fog) this morning.  All and all it looks to be a very nice day in Playa Santana, Tola, Nicaragua.

Costa Rica Surf Report:

3-5ft  Waist to shoulder high with fair shape.

Playa Grande, Costa Rica -  The waves nothing like last night.  There were some decent tubes coming through, but nothing like yesterday.  The crowd was on quite a bit lighter, as well, probably due to the conditions being less favorable.  Or maybe, everyone is just surfed out.  Strong offshore winds are blowing and should continue all day.  Hopefully, it will get good this evening on the incoming tide, as last night was excellent.  Don’t get your hopes up too much, the tide will probably be too low this evening.

Costa Rica Surf Report:

2-3ft  Knee to waist high with fair shape.

or was it?

6-8ft   Head to tail, and reptilian.

YOU DECIDE!

Playa Grande, Costa Rica -  The waves were small with decent shape this morning, but the large crocodile (6-8ft) made for an uneasy surf session.  The tide was dropping out fast and with a potentially hungry croc in the water, it was a better idea to spectate than surf today.  The winds were light and blowing onshore.   The conditions were clean and glassy, but I advise that you stay out of the water if you can.  Hopefully, this crocodile decides to head back to the estuary soon.

Surf forecasts are predicting the swell to start picking up a bit over the next couple days, but don’t expect too much, maybe chest to shoulder high.

Playa Grande, Costa Rica -  The waves look like its picked up slightly, but its dead low tide and difficult to tell.  Unfortunately, the winds are already blowing onshore, which is not a good sign.   Its still glassy, but don’t expect much for this afternoon if this wind pattern holds.  It will probably be blown out all day today.
