CRNW 2017-0315 (Wed) Forecast & Report

It's A Beautiful Day. Back in the water, so good to have most of the kinks worked out of our backs. Paddled out with high going low, was a full tide 9.5, going to low of -0.5, so changing rapidly. We caught an hour of action before the outgoing tide killed it. First wave at 6:30a, last wave at 7:30a, first half hour being the best. Papagayos were back this morning after a few days of general wind activity.

Surf was 2-3 ft., but fun to be well enough to paddle out, catch waves, turn, etc., with no ill effect.

Watched the boats heading south from Tamarindo to the fishing grounds at 8am while sipping coffee at the usual perch. Then breakfast at 9am
