Costa Rica Surf Report:

4-6ft  Chest to head high waves with fair to good shape

Playa Grande, Costa Rica – The waves were good early this morning, but the ebbing tide shut things down quickly.  The winds are light offshore with clean glassy surfing conditions.  Now that we are back to a normal offshore wind pattern, the incoming tide should bring us some good waves like last night.

Surfing forecasts are predicting the waves to get a little smaller over the weekend, and then, the first significant southern hemi swell to arrive on Monday.  This should produce some size for the early part of the week.

Costa Rica Tides:

We had an early morning high tide of 8.40ft @ 4:23am, dropping down to a low tide of 0.12ft @ 10:19am, moving up to a high tide of 9.02ft @ 4:37pm this afternoon.

Costa Rica Weather:

We had sunny skies with light offshore winds.  All and all it looks to be a very nice and hot day in Playa Grande, Costa Rica.

Costa Rica Surf Report:

2ft  Knee high with poor to fair shape.

Playa Grande, Costa Rica – The waves looked like they would get fun today for longboarding and learning because the wind was offshore and clean until about 11:00pm, when it blew out completely within seconds of when I paddled out.  It turned into a mess before I could catch a wave.  So, I made the most of the, sloppy conditions.

Hopefully, the wind patterns will clean up and get back to the offshore winds we usually experience in the North Pacific, Guanacaste Province of Costa Rica.

Playa Grande, Costa Rica – There are small crumbly waves today in the knee to waist high range.  The wind was sideshore/onshore variably this morning, but it still looked like fun enough for a hot day at the beach.  There were a few guys out getting some fun turns in the sloppy conditions.  I think I’m out there.

Hopefully, the wind will clean up again, the waves will get bigger and the crowd will disappear.  This would give me a nice surf session : )

Costa Rica (Nicaragua) Surf Report:

3-4ft  Waist to chest high with poor shape.

Playa Santana, Nicaragua – The wind is steady onshore again this morning!  Panga Drops in Playa Colorado is breaking best with crumbly chest high sets.  Playa Santana looked to be picking up way too much wind and is still too low tide this morning to make it worth a go out.

I’ve been traveling to Nicaragua since 2002 and this is the first time I’ve visited and wind has been onshore the entire time.   Its been a good trip anyways.  The people are friendly and the country is beautiful.  I’m just about to pack up and hit the road.

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

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.
