This week has been fun! Waves have been in the waist to overhead range at all the breaks here in Manuel Antonio (M.A.), on the central Pacific. A small swell has been producing nice waves and the tides have been in the afternoon so the wind has died off and made for some clean sunset sessions for us here in M.A. Rumor has been the whole Pacific coast has been good: Barranca had waves and when there are waves there, there tend to be good ones in Pavones, too.
The Caribbean also continues to be very good. There's a national contest there this weekend in Playa Westfalia, about 3 miles south of the airport in Limón. (For more information on that and other Costa Rica surf events go to www.anamarssurfermagazine.com.)
The Southern Hemisphere is warming up and we should start to see swells building from that direction now, which is pura vida news for us here on the central and southern Pacific get your flights down and catch some warm water barrels before the summer crowd hits us.
