*****************AREA REPORTS
** From James at Witchs Rock Surf Camp in Tamarindo (3/8) -
Today the conditions are much better because the wind help a lot,
offshore and size 2 ft to 4 ft, a perfect day for surfing in Tamarindo
and watching the sunset.
** From photographer John Lyman, Lyman Photos in Playa Negra - (3/8)
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: The last couple days have seen small waist to chest high waves with fair shape. Beautiful sunny skies. Not much wind in the mornings and onshore breezes in the afternoons. Water temp is 82 degrees.
WHAT
TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este fin de
semana (clima y olas): The swell will start to increase from the SW
Sunday with the best waves happening Tuesday and Wednesday. Look for it

BEST
PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEK IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a surfear este
fin de semana en su area: We have a pretty extreme low tide running
through the mornings this week. It might just be too low for rocky
Playa Negra. Check out Playa Avellanas rivermouth and Little Hawaii .

** From Erik at SurfingNosara.com in Playa Guiones - (3/9)
Good
morning folks! Surf is once again looking good in Guiones this mornin
with chest high sets rolling in, and close to perfect form... Looks
like long lines without too many closeouts... but we are approaching a
low tide in a few hours, so that may start to change as the tide drops
out. Looks like a tweener day, fish or shortboard??? No se mai...
Looking ahead, you may want to make this a lay day as we have a new SW
headed our way, should start impacting our surf this evening... 5ft at
14 secs... it is at 209, so that is a bit south, but it shouldn't be
big enough to closeout... but we may have some pretty quick ones.
** From Hotel Buenisimo in Santa Teresa/Mal Pais (3/8) -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones:
Head high, good shape - glassy morning & late afternoon conditions
- some offshore winds.
** From Andrea at Waves CR Surf Camp in Playa Hermosa (3/8) -
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: Small but nice glassy conditions early mornings/ the wind tends to stay onshore for the late sessions.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND (weather and waves) - Que va a pasar este fin de semana (clima y olas): The swell keeps on dropping. 3. 5 ft @ 11 seconds and will keep dropping during the week.
BEST
PLACE TO SURF THIS WEEK IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a surfear este
fin de semana en su area: I will go ahead and recommend the beach
breaks/ tulin and bejuco could be going off with the low tide, early in
the morning.
