Thursday, May 1st is International Workers Day (Labor Day), so many governmental offices and businesses will be closed.
The road to Limón will be closed today as work crews continue paving on Route 32 between 9:00am and 3:00pm. The closure is from the toll station to río Sucio. The work on the road will continue until June as part of the Ministerio de Obras Publica y Transportes (MOPT) plans to make the road safer. Travelling to and from the Caribbean coast will mean detours on either the Turrialba-Siquirres or Vara Blanca-Sarapiquí routes. Travel to and from San José a Guápiles will mean a detour through Varo Blanco to the Río Frío, Sarapiquí exit.

** From Louis at Hotel Las Tortugas in Playa Grande (4/26)-
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: Offshore, head high, and morning tides.

BEST PLACE TO SURF IN YOUR AREA - El mejor lugar a surfear en su area: The focus of this swell is at the main peak just south of the hotel.
** From photographer John Lyman, Lyman Photos in Playa Negra - (4/26)
AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: The surf at Playa Negra has been in that fun zone chest to head high with good shape. Sunny and very hot these last few days with air temps hoving at 100 degrees and the water temp is 84 degrees. Light offshores continue in the mornings and onshore for the afternoons. That onshore wind dies about an hour before sunset and the waves have been fun for the evening glass off. The swell will pick up a bit in the next few days peaking on Monday with headhigh plus from the SW. It will back slide a bit for the middle of the week and then pick up significantly for the end of the week and the beginning of the month. The tides are perfect this upcoming week for the early morning session before the hoard gets out there.

** From Erik at SurfingNosara.com in Playa Guiones (4/26) -
We've got small surf here again today. This is about as small as we seem to ever see, but if you wait for the sets, there are some punchy little zippers. Pio got a couple of good ones while I was shooting and you can see from his pictures that you could get some speed if you did things right. The wind is light at report time and the tide is fairly full. We'll see what the wind does today. It shifted yesterday around 8am, but stayed light enough to not mess anything up until about 9:30. Another day another wave. Grab your board and go have fun.
