Tamarindo now in full swing - surfers start your boards...


Well, it’s pretty much official – the tourists have returned to Tamarindo in the past week, and we are really seeing some busy beaches.  This is what we all (well, most of us) wait for and now is the time to start gearing up for a busy Christmas.

And the other way I can tell that its tourism season is that the southern hemi’s have backed down and the waves are smaller.  This week, for example, the big ‘swell’ will be hitting us mid week at 5’ at 15 seconds.  Yippee?  

Look for really South facing breaks and do everything to avoid the main break in Tamarindo where lessons will be in full force.

You might want to try Marbella in the mornings on an incoming tide, or even Grande at sunrise.  And look for onshore winds to hit around 11am everyday this week.

And the water has been somewhat cold with the offshore’s blowing all the warm water out and creating this upwelling – suggest a spring suit (shortie) or long sleeved rash guard.

Here are some of the forecast shots from MSW etc.
