Another small day for today's forecast with a fair amount of west in it. We'll still get wet.
Report Update: We hit the surf for a couple of hours. Still a small swell mix of short period (7 sec) and mid period (12-13 sec). It was 2+ hrs into the rising tide so still shallow--I hung out in the middle area of the Cove (not too far from the Rock) and caught some almost breaking waves, pop-up peaks, a couple of short, fast rights. As the tide filled in I relocated to the Southside Rock and caught several nice waves with clean or white water drop faces. Nice view of the reef below on take-offs! It went well for David and Tim although I did not see many of their rides.

SHORT TERM FORECAST (through WEDNESDAY, June 9th)
Highlights: Old/modest SSW swell keeps surf small scale but rideable
for the next few days.
South Pacific Swell: Overlapping, old SSW swell (210-200) and
small, reinforcing SSW swell through the middle part of the week with
knee-waist-stomach high waves becoming the norm, while standouts go chest
high during favorable tides.
Tropics: Tropical Depression One-E has developed and is off the
coast of Southern Mexico. The system will track NE and make landfall over the
Sinaloa region. Therefore, at this point we don't foresee any significant swell
from it but shorter period energy and highly variable winds/conditions the next
few days. If that outlook changes we'll let you know.
Wind/Weather: Offshore
disturbances from TD One-E will set up an highly variable wind pattern for the
region through the next few days. Mornings will start off with light to light+
NW winds which will trend more Westerly at moderate levels each afternoon
around the Central/South Costa Rica. Northern Costa Rica will see a stronger
onshore flow, with a chance of lighter winds going into Wednesday.
Most of the region will see partly to mostly cloudy skies each day.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms are likely and keep in mind that
passing or nearby showers and thunderstorms can temporarily affect/change local
wind conditions.
EXTENDED FORECAST (THURSDAY, June 10th, and beyond)
Highlights: Nice run of Southern Hemi swells start back up this
weekend, continuing through the middle of the month.
South Pacific Swell: The 8th-10th will be relatively
slow overall, with just that modest pulse of SSW swell (210-195)
keeping things rideable, in the 2-4' range at top spots. However,
storm activity in the SW Pacific now has a series of storms moving
out from under New Zealand and setting up a good run of waves for Central
America.
First, a strong storm has tracked away from New Zealand, with confirmed
satellite seas up to 35', will result in a building SW-SSW swell (220-200) for
the weekend(11th-12th) with potential for head high-overhead+ surf by
Sunday for focal points.
A larger, reinforcing pulse looks to move in and peak the 13th-16th with
potential for pretty solid/large surf during that time. Slow fading trend
due the 17th-18th but then we could see another reinforcing S-SSW swell show up
around the 19th-20th.
Overall, lot's of action in the SPAC right now for the next 1-2 weeks. Stay
tuned to the forecast for details on the next update.
