CRNW Forecast and Rpt, 2015-0613p

Non-surf day report. Swell surf in the water and a good day to drive Terry to the Liberia airport to meet his wife. On the way we stopped at the farmer's market picking up a load of fruit and veggies, lunch at the German Bakery and knock back a couple of beers. Will walk up to The Rock and give it a dip in the morning to stay in shape for the larger swell coming our way.

Effective Friday evening

SHORT TERM FORECAST (through Monday, June 15th)
Highlights: Fading SW swell over the next few days. Keeping a close eye on the tropics.

South Pacific Swell: Fading SW swell (230-205°) will continue to back down into early next week. Saturday through Monday will offer surf mainly around waist high or less at the better exposed breaks. Top spots will produce some larger sets around chest high. NOTE - This swell is strongest for the northern half of Costa Rica, with partial shadowing by the Galapagos on the southern half.

Tropics: Tropical Storm Carlos is nearly stationary, spinning about 160 miles south/southwest of Acapulco, Mexico. Carlos is expected to hit hurricane force over the weekend as the system parallels the coast of Mainland Mexico through the first part of next week.

We expect modest shorter period WSW/W swell that will rise up over the next few days, peaking Mon/Tues in the knee to waist high range at exposures. Keep an eye on Carlos here and the region forecast boxes above, while additional information can be found at the NHC.

EXTENDED FORECAST (Tuesday, June 16th and beyond)
Highlights: Keeping a close eye on the tropics. Modest to locally fun-size SPAC pulses lining up for next week.

South Pacific Swell: Further out - nothing major lining up on the long-range radar right now, just modest to locally fun-size SPAC pulses; staying primarily within the waist-shoulder high zone for top spots.
1) Overlapping South and SW swells for the 17th-18th, initially filling in over the 16th.
2) Potentially similar size overlapping South and SW swells for the 20th-25th, initially filling in over the 19th. Stay posted for updates, as most of those pulses are still pending development.
