(I made it easier this time…) ~ Photo: GG Costa Rica Surf Report and Forecast By Greg Gordon www.crsurf.com FORECAST Caribbean Coast: Anticipating an active hurricane season farther north in the Caribbean Sea, I expect a few head-high waves to show up in one- or two-day pulses each week of the month.

Consistent tropical systems send in surf knee- to waist-high, and will be occasionally bigger if a storm brushes closer to the coast. Pacific... [Read more...]

Costa Rica Surf Report By Greg Gordon http://www.crsurf.com FORECAST Caribbean Coast: This is another consistent month for surf, with waves mostly head-high plus, but reaching double overhead. Lots of rain showers as well, so make sure you have tread on the tires for the roads and something strong to clean out your ears after a surf session. Two major surf contests this month will bring out the locals, so show respect in the lineup. Pacific Coast: The Papagayo winds (from the northwest) really... [Read more...]

Surfer: Luis Castro Costa Rica Surf Report and Forecast By Greg Gordon www.crsurf.com FORECAST Caribbean Coast: October usually means rainy season. This season is a little different since El Niño is in full-effect. That means more rain showers east of the Talamancan mountain range, but overall, less tropical activity for the Caribbean. No consistent swells coming until mid-November. Pacific Coast: This month is usually the rainiest of the year, but with El Niño, it won’t be as plentiful,... [Read more...]

Costa Rica Surf Report and Forecast FORECAST Caribbean Coast: During September it gets rainy and very inconsistent. Tropical systems generally head north, not west, so any fetch is heading in the wrong direction. On the good side, it’s very inexpensive to eat and stay comfortably, it’s not crowded, and when the occasional short-period swell shows up, you have a number of reefs and sand bars to choose from. Pacific Coast: This month is tricky since many breaks are tide dependent —... [Read more...]
