Overview - Caribbean Coast - The tropical swells continue all week with surf starting out 1 foot overhead and only dropping to head high by Wednesday. Thursday calls for inconsistent head high waves and Friday will only be chest high. More disturbances will keep the right coast full of chest high surf through the weekend.

Pacific Coast - The SSW swell peaks Sunday afternoon and drops a little bit by Monday, down to overhead surf by Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday are the smallest for the week at head high with a background SSW swell. On Friday a more localized WSW swell strikes the Northern Nicoya coast, pushing surf back overhead, but this only lasts through the weekend. Farther south will stay overhead, but nothing bigger is expected until a week from Wed. (7/9) when a powerful south swell arrives that has built up near the coast of Chile.

AREA REPORTS

** From Rafael at Witchs Rock Surf Camp in Tamarindo - (6/25)

Today was great conditions, because the wind was offshore this morning, clean waves and size 2ft to 5ft, really quiet this morning and better for surfing because not a lot pleople surfing in Tamarindo and take more waves.Pura Vida

** From photographer John Lyman, Lyman Photos in Playa Negra - (6/19)

AREA WAVE HEIGHTS AND CONDITIONS - Tamano de las olas y condiciones: The surf has been in the fun range with head high sets and fair to good shape. Lots of sunshine in the mornings, clouding up in the afternoons with rain happening almost everyday. Water temp is 84 degrees. Look for the waves to stay head high to a couple feet over head on the sets. With low tide in the mid mornings this week, check out Avellanas early and Negra as the tide moves in.

NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS- Noticias y dias especiales: Newest batch of guest surfer photos at www.lymanphotos.sbpix.com

** From Andrew at SurfingNosara.com in Playa Guiones (6/25) -

Good morning again from Guiones.  We've got great conditions today, which I expect to continually improve as the tide drops.  We're just about as high as we get at report time.  There aren't too many people out yet, however Mario, our resident longboard ripper, is putting on a clinic.  If you want to learn to longboard, study these photos and pretend you're him.  You can grow your hair out and then affix a fake mustache when you go surfing.  I think that may be his secret. 

Surf is running in the chest high plus range with the occassional thumper coming through.  The wind is dead calm.  Grab your board and get out there.  Andrew, out.
