Papa G's Costa Rica Surf Forecast



Friday the 25th The mix of S swell continues to build and peak through the day, as some new 19-second forerunners show up out of the SW (220-230). Size typically looks like it will be chest to overhead at stand outs, with maybe some bigger surf at deepwater and combo spots.

Saturday the 26th as SW swell builds it will replace the S as the dominant swell in the water, but stand out combo spots could be the best, with shoulder high to a couple feet overhead surf, maybe a little bigger on the better sets. There could also be a bit of WNW for some of the more southern countries trickling in with 11-second periods leftover from the Hurricane swell.

Sunday the 27th another shoulder high to a couple feet overhead day for many of the stand out breaks working the SW (220-230) swell and leftover S (180-190) in the water. Periods should be 15-seconds for the SW. WNW-swell could also be present for parts of Nicaragua and Costa Rica.

Monday the 28th leftover SW continues to mix with S swell… but size should be dropping.  Stand out breaks could be waist to head high.

Tuesday the 29th a little extra boost from the SW could help maintain wave heights in the waist to head high range, but overall it looks a little spotty and many places will be seeing waist to shoulder high surf.

Beyond that it looks like a bit of a lull period for awhile
