Surf had decreased from the swell's peaking yesterday, waves in the 4 to 8 ft range. Very unpredictable and deceptive due to the cross swell, SW x WNW. Weak waves turned into strong waves with longer walls and strong appearing waves were like soft cotton. Some good looking waves could turn you into mince meat during or after the drop. We all experienced some great fun rides and some damn good beat downs.
Today's breakfast at our casita(s) included eggs, gallo pinto and grits (by Tim), papaya, pineapple and cucumber. With the weather so promising late this afternoon we decided to sneak over to our regular hotel for the sunset in the NW (and taking some cold refreshments with us). Afterwards we feasted at a neighborhood restaurant on arroz con pollos, arroz con camarones and casado de pollo.
After note: Two wonderful pups (maybe one year old and two year old) live at the casitas and owners home. They enjoy walking with Beth on the beach and playing with the boys in the morning.

Effective Monday afternoon.
SHORT TERM FORECAST (through Friday, June 12th)
Highlights: Today's peaking SW Southern Hemi swell will gradually back down over
the week. Also, so will the secondary WNW Blanca swell.
South Pacific Swell:
The current/peaking SW swell (235-205°) will gradually back down over the week. Tuesday will continue to offer head-overhead sets at the better exposed breaks with occasional sets hitting 2-3 feet overhead at standouts. Select magnets of Northern CR will still see occasional waves near double overhead. NOTE - This swell is strongest for the northern half of Costa, with partial shadowing by the Galapagos on the southern half. Surf will fade through the next few days, dropping to knee-waist occasional chest high at top spots on Friday. Tropics: Blanca is falling apart over central Baja. However, currently and
over the next couple days we'll be keeping a close eye on an area of low pressure that is developing well offshore from Central America (more details at the NHC). Therefore, we may see some shorter period SW-Westerly swell move in later this week, stay tuned. Many sections of the coast will see partly cloudy skies for much of each day. However, we expect a lot of instability in the region through the next few days. Therefore, scattered showers and T-storms are imminent throughout. Also, there will likely be periods where the wind will be swirling around, changing constantly, especially with local storms nearing your location. Check out Surfline's high-res wind model for frequent updates. EXTENDED FORECAST (Saturday, June 13th and beyond) Highlights: This weekend the 13th-14th is looking quite small at this time,
unless the tropics flare up and send something. Modest SPAC pulses lining up for the week of the 15th. South Pacific Swell: At this point, surf is looking mainly around waist high
or less this weekend, off old/fading SW leftovers and other tiny background
South-SW swells. Possible inconsistent waves up to belly-chest high at top spots during the best tides. Further out - nothing major lining up on the long-range radar right now.
1) Small-scale overlapping South and SW swells for the 16th-18th, initially
filling in over the 15th. 2) Potentially better overlapping SW and South swells
for the 20th-23rd, initially filling in over the 19th. Stay posted for updates, as those are still pending development.
