Not sure I have ever seen it this small and for so many days.
Whew! Just in time for us!!!
This swell pattern, or lack thereof, must be a La Niña influence?
Forecast Effective Friday afternoon
Please Note: All times and dates on this page are local time.
Wind/Weather: For North CR look for morning offshore flow to range from light/moderate to locally breezy in northernmost CR over the weekend. The central and southern part of the Guanacaste Peninsula will see a sea breeze develop for the late morning and afternoon, while breaks in far north CR (near the Nica border) see light/variable to light offshore winds later in the afternoon.
Most of the region will see partly cloudy skies each day. Scattered showers/thunderstorms are possible and keep in mind that passing or nearby showers and thunderstorms can temporarily affect/change local wind conditions.
EXTENDED FORECAST (TUESDAY, May 24th, and beyond)
Highlights: Small, overlapping S/SSW swells for middle part of week. New SSW swell for weekend; better looking one of end of May/early June.
South Pacific Swell: Small size, overlapping S/SSW swells continue over Tuesday-Wednesday, with surf generally in the knee-waist-stomach high range for exposed breaks. Few of the top spots potentially pull in chest high sets during favorable tides but overall pretty small for the first part of the week.
Next up, a modest storm out of the SE South Pacific looks to whip up some SSW swell (215-195), which would build in Thursday, topping out Friday, with fun size surf in the waist-chest shoulder high range for southerly exposures.
Going further out, a storm out of the Central South Pacific will be developing over the next 48-72 hours but at this point is looking good for a better SW swell pulse for the last few days of the month. This energy will continue into June as the South Pacific looks to potentially deliver a few swells with the recent storm activity underneath New Zealand. Stay tuned for the Monday update.
