(add 50 min. each day after)

New Moon - November 11th

High Tide: 8.58 ft at 4:19 pm
Low Tide: -.5 ft at 10:05 pm

NATIONAL FORECAST

Pacific - The call is Sunday..a combo NW and SW swell fills in the
gaps at all beachbreaks, 1-2 foot overhead, lots of set waves. Monday
it stays the same size on the sets, which will come farther apart. By
Tuesday afternoon it's back to overhead, and stays that way through
Thursday. For the next weekend it will be only head high at best, and
will stay like that until another NW and SW combo show up on November
11th and be back to 2+ overhead by 11/14.

Caribbean - Waves knee to knee+ all weekend and Monday, but a few
clean waist high peelers show up Wednesday from a distant NE swell.
It is a good sign.

AREA REPORTS

NICOYA (N)

** From Joe at Witchs Rock Surf Camp in Tamarindo -

AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Surf has been fun in the waist to
chest high range, nothing too special except for earlier in the week
on Tuesday afternoon when this slight swell peaked and brought
overhead gems connecting to the rivermouth. The offshore winds look
like they are starting to kick in, we should see an entirely
different rivermouth within a couple of weeks. All of the past rain
has made sandbars perfect and if/when the offshores start to howl
things should be good for months on end.

WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Swell is to really
start picking up tomorrow (Saturday 30th October), by Monday it
should reach well overhead with much bigger sets at more exposed
spots like Witch's Rock. Its hard to tell what the weather is going
to do, its been clear and offshore for a few days. If that keeps up
we should have a great weekend for fun in the sun.

BEST PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR AREA - With the tides being
low mid-day, and with this increase in swell, Ollie's Point should
definitely be the call if you can make it out there. Expect overhead
perfect rights connecting to the sand, and bring the video camera as
with the low tide during the day you'll have literally hours and
hours of good waves!

anybody that didn't get to surf with us yesterday it really was
fantastic . Come surfing NOW , theres a few people around but no
crowd and its a pretty mellow group of tourists so its actually
pretty nice here right now ! Anyways enough of the tourism

It is flat. We heard the breakers last night at Salsa, but none
today. Some rain, but no swell. No place to surf here this weekend...
maybe next.
