We are now within the forecast window albeit the medium confidence level window. But overall, today's 17-day snapshot is more favorable than the snapshot from 17 days earlier. The forecast for our inital day is promising and the winds are back in the dominant offshore pattern again. If everything remains steady it looks like a comfy post-travel surf day with tides, swells and winds in cooperating spirits.
Costa Rica: Steady NE winds for the northernmost spots, persist all day. The rest of North CR sees light+/moderate offshores for the first part of the mornings, shifting to mainly moderate SSW-SW-W winds later morning through the afternoon, then looking to ease later afternoon/evening. Central and southern CR will mostly see a continued diurnal wind pattern with light/variable to very light offshore flow in the early mornings trending to light+/locally more onshores in the afternoons, looking strongest in southern regions.
Long Term Forecast Analysis (Thursday, March 3rd and Beyond)
SPAC Overview:
Modest scale SW swell shows a little more size by the half half of the week, putting more well exposed spots in waist-stomach high surf on Thursday. Friday is up a notch as a fresh SSW/S swell starts to join in. That new swell shifts more south and peaks for the weekend, for waist-chest-shoulder high waves on Saturday and into Sunday morning. Slow fade follows by the end of the weekend. Trend towards gradually easing size continues through early next week.
Further out, there is potential for a better, longer-period SSW/S swell during the 9th-11th, and again for the 13th-15th time frame. We’ll keep you posted on the progress of those storm/swell systems as they develop.
