CRNW Surf Forecast and Reports of 2016-0607 (Tue)

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.

Effective Monday afternoon
Please Note: All times and dates on this page are local time. Surfline offers this forecast three times a week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday by 7PM.  

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.
