"Summer" is swell

Well we are well through July and the swells continue to fire in every week. I have been getting out as much as possible and surfing more of the beaches to the south including Marbella and Avellanas at least twice a week. As you note from the forecast, we are in for a good week here in Tamarindo and all along the northern Pacific coast of Costa Rica

(Marbella)



The bigger swells mean that some beaches close out sooner than others such as Grande and Playa Negra.

Airfares from most major hubs are dirt cheap, so if you can make it down before the middle of August then you'll be in for a treat.

I moved into my new office this past month and here is a view of it.

See you on the break

July 5th Surfing Update Tamarindo, Costa Rica

The surfing conditions in Northern Costa Rica's Pacific Coast have been outstanding lately on the SSW and South breaks. Recently, I have surfed Marbella, Playa Grande, Tamarindo and Avellanas in better than prime conditions. The best time has been on the incoming tide in all cases...from about high tide minus 3 hours to flood.

The wind has also been very cooperative, and we have been fortunate to enjoy offshore winds during the peak times, which have made for some excellent barrels.

This morning I surfed the river mouth at Avellanas, and caught some of the best rights of my life. Didn't quite have the power to get the board airborn, but I sure caught some major airtime jumping back over the waves.



This coming week looks sick. Note the lack of wind Sunday during high tide.



And have a look at the southern-hemi swells coming.


Hope to see you out there!
